Description

Every now and then I meet someone so remarkable at our shows that I am moved to tears and action. A few weeks ago I met a woman named Tika Hick at the Harmony Festival in Santa Rosa. Within the span of one month she and her husband David had become parents to a beautiful baby boy "Indigo," lost their home to foreclosure, and then suddenly Tika was diagnosed with breast cancer. On July 20, 2011, Tika was scheduled to have a double mastectomy surgery. 5 days before, without warning, her husband David was swept from a rock by a rogue wave and drowned in the ocean off Maui. Here is the inspirational interview I did with Tika on July, 18th 2011 just before her surgery. If you would like to help Tika Hick and her son Indigo, please CLICK HERE NOW >> http://bit.ly/p5dSPU

Hi Tika, My name is Rachael.

Hi Tika,

My name is Rachael. I just wanted to share with you some music that truly lifted me up at the darkest moment in my life. It was a true gift from the Universe/God/Source. Whatever you want to call it it was most certainly Divine! I had become very ill after the birth of my daughter Clara. I had many infections, one after another and mono that wouldn't shut off. I was bed ridden for about 9 months. Tika, I hit bottom. I hit the bottom of bottom. I was so down I was underneath the ground. I was done suffering, done with just existing. I said " Whoever is in charge of keeping me alive, Im done. I give you my life! Im done fighting this, Im done trying to do this my way. I give up, I surrender, my life is yours! I give you my life whole entire life just bring me peace now and a Dr to heal me! I meant it with every fiber of my being. Suffering so much made me very sincere and I got answered right away! Immediately words came to my mind "Orange sky" Somehow I knew it was a song and I put it into itunes and it was! It sang everything that I had been feeling and gave me the hope and peace that I so needed at that hour! I would like to share it with you. I got a whole play list that was Divinely inspired and it truly brought Light into my life where there seemed to be none. This is for you Teka, there is Light at the end of the tunnel and it is brighter than before, because once you come out you have new eyes, a whole new perspective on life! You will simply and powerfully be changed in a way that is priceless and worth it even though you can not imagine that being the case, it is true! That has been my experience and I know with all of my Heart that will be the same for you.

By the way the next day a Doctors office called me with an appointment. True story, I didn't even know he existed and they called me! Dr. Guyer is his name and he is the one who healed me! It was a true miracle and it happened to me! Many people come from all over the world to see him to get healed. He still sends me vitamins and mineral IV drip bags overnight once a week keep my immune system keep strong. I know he uses them for other patient who have cancer or infections. He is truly a genius and my one of my Angels and he might just be yours too. Check him out... http://www.daleguyermd.com/ He has a long waiting list but I know that I could call and get you an appointment immediately! He does consultations over the phone and works with most of his patients Doctors. If your interested it would be my gift to you. You have been through so much Tika and I would so happy to help support you in your healing and journey. From one mother to another mother, I know how it feels not to be able to take care of your baby, yourself, your home... all of it. I see my illness as such a gift because I got striped of all the "roles" I played in life and discovered that Im sooooooooo much more than all of them put together. I do know how painful it is though not to be able to no even the simplest things to take care of yourself and loved ones. That is in the end what caused me to break and hit my bottom so hard. Amazing what was on the other side when I did! I was given music to sooth my soul. Music that sang exactly how I felt and sang just what I needed to hear. When I find the songs and the artist who wrote and sing them I call them music Angels. I have many and would love to share them with you if you would like. This was the first Divine play list that I was given. Just close your eyes and listen and let the music lift you into peace.

With all of my LOVE,
Rachael

Tika...you can get through

Tika...you can get through this. Look back through the videos on this website to Michael's Sound of Sunshine tour video from late July 2010. There is a boy, Dylan, playing guitar on stage with Michael. That is my son who lost his father very suddenly and tragically when he was 17 months old. Your daughter will lead you through this. Kids are amazing.

Tika's tragedy is truly a

Tika's tragedy is truly a profound and moving story. My company, San Francisco Nutritional Therapy made a $100 donation to Tika today. I can only hope that her strength and spirit gets her through tomorrow... and the next day and the next. Even though I am a total stranger, I send my loving thoughts and healing vibes her way. There is *light* somewhere at the end of this, and a new beginning for her to *discover* ....

Dear Tika, It's hard to

Dear Tika, It's hard to imagine anyone having to grow through the kind of stress and pain that you have had to endure. I just made a typo and meant to say "go through" instead of "grow through" but maybe there is somehow meaning in that. My thoughts are prayers are with you and your sweet little baby. blessings ~

I know pain and I know

I know pain and I know heartache. But, I have never seen so much LOVE and HOPE in someone that has lost so much.
Tika - there are no words that will ease your pain...but, I hope you can FEEL the love being sent your way. Loving arms are locked together around the WORLD today & embracing you. Let them catch you when you fall and support you when you don't feel like standing.
Your spirit and thirst for life have inspired people you may never meet. Accept the outpour of love to pull you through the next phase of your life with Indigo.
God Bless.
