Ilchi Lee

An interesting story at work today: I was standing in line to use the copy machine this morning, and a colleague of mine, who was using the copy machine ahead of me, and I started to catch up with one another. She asked me where I went on my vacation, if it was someplace beautiful, and I started to tell her about Sedona, Bell Rock, Arizona, Mago Garden [local name for the Sedona Mago Retreat Center], Dahn Healing System, and, of course, the book, In Full Bloom. I shared about Ilchi Lee’s scheduled trip to Chicago, and the Brain Education Conference at the United Nations in New York, and Brain Education for Children / Brain Education for Successful Aging. My colleague asked me where she could get a copy of the book.

Here is where the story gets interesting because I had just purchased one copy of the book at Amazon.com when writing a book review. It arrived over the weekend, and was in my brief case, so I walked her back to my office and gave her the book as a gift. She hugged the book to her chest, profoundly thanking me for the gift because, you see, her father had just passed away, and she has cancer. The cancer drugs had caused a strong allergic reaction, where she broke out in hives all over her body, so now she is grieving the loss of a parent, trying to heal a horrible skin rash, trying to adjust to new cancer medication, and trying to hold on to every bit of brain function and life that she can for as long as she can do so. She told me the loss of her father had changed the way she looked at life and the quality of it.

My colleague walked out of my office holding the book in her hands like it was fragile china that might break, with all the hope of life itself in her eyes. I have tears in my eyes as I am typing this story to share with you!

P.S. I had already given out free copies of the book to all of my co-workers before leaving for Dahn Healing System at Mago Garden. Somehow, had I missed giving the book to her at that time? My colleague is also planning to go to the In Full Bloom on-line course on Ilchi.com. Her story reminds me of some very wise words you have kindly shared with us: "There is always HOPE.”
