Hope and Your Intuition EP 332

Today I want to share a story about listening to your intuition. We all have it, but most of us have been told not to pay attention to it. Except sometimes we do. I’m sure you’ve had an experience where you made a decision to do something, or not do something and it ended up serving you well, but you really don’t have a logical reason for the “knowing”.  A friend of mine who has children says she has what she calls her “spidy” sense and when one of her kids needs her, she just knows. Now they are adults, but it still happens. She doesn’t have to run to the rescue, but she’ll text and check in because she’s learned to trust those messages.  About 2 years ago, I had a crazy example of this in my life. I was driving to an event to see an author who was doing a book tour to promote her new book. It had been on my calendar for a couple months, and I was looking forward to it.  The closest event was in another city about 2 hours away by car and I thought it was worth the drive so I blocked off the time and looked forward to it. The day of the event arrived and I hopped in the car ready to go.  I was only about 30 minutes into the 2ish hour drive when I got the strongest sense that I should turn around and go back home. I was passing an exit on the highway just then, but I didn’t pull off because it seemed so weird. I couldn’t figure out why or where this was coming from. It just didn’t make any sense.  The next exit was about 10 miles way and as it neared, I knew I was going to have to take it. I couldn’t explain it but there’s no way I could drive for another hour and a half feeling like this.  So I turned around. I called my husband to let him know I was on my way home and I wasn’t sure why but it felt like the right thing to do. About 30 minutes after I got home, I received an email from the author’s team.  The event was being postponed because her flight was cancelled and she couldn’t make it. They even said they waited until the last possible minute to make the call.  When I left, the event was still on, but as I was driving, it was cancelled.  I know this sounds crazy, but I also know that was my intuition, the universe, spirit, whatever term you use, looking out for me.  I’m trying to pay attention, and I hope you will too. Your intuition wants the best for us, and I find that the most hopeful thing of all.
