Thanks to Julia Cameron's The Artist's Way and the teachings of Ernest Holmes Science of Mind, I knew to listen. And to transcribe its words. Shortly thereafter, I shared what I thought was a complete poem of 140 words in seven stanzas of four lines each with encouraging classmates at the Center for Spiritual Living Palm Desert. I added a rainbow I'd photographed in Hawaii the previous month, created bookmarks and gave them as gifts. Likely due to my receptivity immediately after I sent the manuscript of the book I'd been writing for 12 years-Black-Eyed Susan, A Love-Child Finds Her Father and Her Self-to its publisher, The Gift kept giving and growing, reaching pretty much its current form in December of 2013. Although I had clarity \"The Great Creator\" had delivered \"The Gift\" to me, I kept asking, \"What is this?\" Because it sounded like poetry from my childhood and I felt no urge to make edits, I came to believe its message was one my angry 13-year-old self-opted to not hear when I angrily vowed that I didn't need a father-Heavenly or earthly-in my life. This time, my 67-year-self listened, absorbed and, as instructed, \"put me in your pocket and hold me in your heart.\" My heart kept reminding me \"The Gift\" wasn't just for me. So I asked, \"What am I to do with it?\" The answer I kept hearing was: \"Share.\" And so I did, from time to time, with selected friends and in creative circles. In the summer of 2019, after our beloved 17 year-old grandson Tyler passed from the earthly part of his soul's journey, I set my intention to publish \"The Gift.\" Since seven is the number of completion and 2020 is the year of clear vision, now is the divinely appointed time and I am ready. And upholding that each of us is a unique expression of our Creator, \"The Gift of Who I Am.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Christine Black Cummings\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1982259329\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781982259327\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Balboa Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/09\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 38\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.24lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 8.50w x 0.10d","brand":"Christine Black Cummings","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078757282047,"sku":"9781982259327","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_cfad0223-a3cd-43b0-b059-6b0979e4985d.jpg?v=1685477339","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-gift-of-who-i-christine-black-cummings-9781982259327","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
