CHICAGO, IL, October 20, 2010 (Press-News.org) We all need more love, for love is a magical, transforming power. When we let it into our hearts, our entire world shifts. Nothing else truly matters except the way we give and receive love.
Since first writing the acclaimed self-help and motivational book of daily reflections: Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment, author C.J. Good has matured and learned much about writing inspirational messages. With her latest release, Precious Gifts of Love, Good felt compelled to write about a subject that is our greatest desire: Love. The result is a sensitive, compassionate, in-depth collection of ravishing insights; sparked with transformative wisdom, influenced by the great poet: Rumi.
Jalal-ud-Din Rumi (the 13th-century Persian poet) has been characterized as one of the unsurpassable mystic poets of mankind. His work, written in the Sufi tradition, is an exploration into the meaning and miracles of love. Rumi's writings have been translated into many languages; he is now one of the most universally read spiritual writers of our time.
"Precious Gifts of Love was an undertaking designed to take the reader on a new and spellbinding journey. This is the book I had envisioned almost twenty years ago," Good said. "I was happy with the first book but Precious Gifts of Love appeals to an unlimited audience; everyone wants to have more love in their lives. Love has ever delighted and perplexed, inspired, and confounded. We want to visit love from every imaginable angle. How this celebrated and mysterious emotion has been and ever will be, is the one enduring obsession of humankind. The writing feels much more complete and relevant than anything I have ever done. When folks read this book, they will think in ways that are brand new, and they will want to share what they have discovered with friends, family and loved-ones."
The book is organized into daily reflections on love; for every day of the year. It touches on feelings of elation and devastation; of risks and tribulations; of struggles and hurt; of healing and triumphs. It chips away at the emotional walls that prevent nurturing relationships from developing.
By studying Rumi's work extensively for the past several decades Good was able to fine tune her passages and bring the craft of great writing to her readers. "I've grown tremendously as a writer," Good said. "Rumi's life was a vision of electric ecstasy; his writings took me on a mystical journey to a foundation of love via divine philosophy. His treatises on love cultivated an essential importance, which brought awareness to the substantial spiritual transformation that is taking place in contemporary culture. Rumi's poetry brought me face to face with a unique understanding of the profound relationship between revelation, ecstasy, adoration, love, and suffering; and my authentic growth as a spiritual being."
Love has the ability to teach us things that the most extravagant and respected university could never do; it is love that gives merit to all things. At some point, a magical person will step into our lives. Coming from an ordinary place, seemingly for no reason, an individual appears whose fascination with life is so gorgeous and rare, so unpredictable and spiritual that, without any exertion at all, we are enchanted with their miraculous gift for living. Rumi is one of those people.
Rumi is the kind of poet whose work exemplifies that energy of mysterious passion that all seekers wish to experience for themselves. The work shows us how to fuse our sacred spirit with love so we can discover the limitless potential that we will need to continually nourish our souls.
Rumi's poems radiate with love, light and contentment. They help cultivate and foster our inner passion; his beautiful messages penetrate to the very depths of our being; his wisdom reassuringly plants the seeds of self-love.
Self-love and self-care are not the same as selfishness. When we are being the love of our own life, when we stop seeking it outside, then we are on the easiest road. An act of loving ourselves like nothing else is the best kind of investment. If we truly desire "big love" in our lives, we must love ourselves first. This is the ultimate reward of love.
Good will be touring this fall and winter to promote Precious Gifts of Love. She appeared at the Buckingham Sale in Chicago, Illinois in September, 2010. She will traveling to these events: in major U.S. and international cities:
Nov. 05 - Phoenix, AZ - Celebrate Your Life. / Nov. 09 - Kuala Lumpur, MALAYSIA - Herbal World. / Nov. 13 - Tampa, FL - I Can Do It, Mind Body, Soul Retreat. / Nov. 14 - Minneapolis, MN - Minneapolis Holistic Expo. / Nov. 17 - Madrid, SPAIN - Natural Ingredients Europe. / Nov. 21 - Cincinnati, OH - Victory of Light. // 2011 / Jan. 07 - San Diego, CA - American Library Association Midwinter / Jan. 14 - Winnipeg, Manitoba, CANADA - Winnipeg Wellness Expo. / Feb. 05 - San Diego, CA - Body, Mind, Spirit Expo. / Feb. 11 - Los Angeles, CA - Conscious Life Expo. / Mar. 05 - Minneapolis, MN - Body, Mind, Life. / Mar. 11 - Anaheim, CA - Natural Products Expo West.
C.J. Good teaches us about love: all the precious gifts of love. Not love which strives for some possession, for particular qualities, for a goal, or a reason, but the kind of love which one experiences when they are able to forgive an enemy. It resonates like a vibration at the very core of the spirit and does not require a symbol. It is a sense of peace; to love a bystander, to love a stranger, to love an adversary, to adore everything we are capable of knowing, in all manifestations; to understand someone's feelings, sufferings, cruelty, disgrace, and anguish - is the spell of divine love.
C.J. Good is the author of "Precious Gifts of Love" and "Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment" (Amazon) She has studied the works of Rumi for thirty years. C.J. Good writes on topics ranging from spirituality, inspiration, and growth to health issues, business and relationships. Her purpose is to write quality books that will make a difference in reader's lives. How we can feel better about ourselves and how we can interact with one another is the basis for ultimate contentment. Values such as integrity, love, compassion, understanding and peace are inherent in the writings of C.J. Good.
