Life has a funny way of surprising us when we least expect it. Recently, I had a moment in New York City that reaffirmed my belief in the power of connection and intuition. Here's how a chance decision brought me face-to-face with a stranger who felt like a kindred spirit. A Spur-of-the-Moment Plan While at a meeting, a friend asked why I wasn’t attending Gabby Bernstein’s event that evening. I hadn’t planned on it, but on a whim, I bought tickets with a group of friends. Sometimes, the best plans are unplanned. Meeting a Stranger At the event, a man sat beside me in an empty seat. I immediately felt a positive energy from him. We started chatting—he was a Broadway actor, and I shared that I’m a medium. Though Gabby’s talk wasn’t about intuition as expected, the connection with this stranger turned out to be the highlight of my evening. A Message from Beyond Midway through, I sensed a grandfatherly presence connected to him. Unsure whether to share, I eventually trusted my instincts. After the event, I shared details that didn’t immediately resonate. We exchanged numbers, took a photo, and parted ways. Validation and Connection Later, he texted: “Oh my God, I spoke to my mom, and she confirmed everything you said about my grandfather. You were spot on.” His message gave me chills and reminded me why I do this work—to foster clarity, healing, and connection. This encounter wasn’t just about delivering a message; it was a reminder to pause and connect with those around us. Life’s beauty often lies in these unscripted moments. So, the next time you feel drawn to engage with someone or take a detour, trust it. Magic might be waiting on the other side. As I always say, I can’t make this stuff up.
