My Special Gifts

About the Book

This book was brought to light because I felt the need to help children understand more about the gifts they may have and may not know how to deal with or even what they are. They need to know they are special and not strange or different. They need to know that everyone has these gifts but that not everyone is aware of them. They can learn not to be afraid and that they are indeed blessed. Too many times, children can shut down or not even want to be around people due to not understanding what is going on with the things they may see, hear, feel, or remember. Putting stories in book form, along with pictures, gives parents a way to connect with their children and then open up for conversation, thus taking away any fears or doubts. Learning more about themselves and their special gifts will help them reach their full potential toward their own spirituality and, at some point in their lives, be able to be there for someone else.

About the Author

Cindy Conard is a Washingtonian born and raised. She is married, has four children, and at the present time six grandchildren. She has traveled all over the United States and Europe but feels absolutely most at home in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. At the age of ten she was introduced to the metaphysical world by her grandmother, who was very into astrology. She came home from school one day in the fourth grade and her grandmother handed her the book, Edgar Cayce, "There Is A River". Reincarnation... it made perfect sense. She was on her way, a whole world of spirituality opened up for her. She couldn't get enough of reading all his books and on to others like it. In junior high and high school she met her previous husband who put her further on her path by opening up other areas of metaphysics. Although this was in the early 70's and at that time everything had to be quiet, people were still studying spirituality. He exposed her to Uri Geller, auras, extra-terrestrials, surrounding and grounding, and astral travel, etc. This again was just a tease of more to come. Many years later she met a women who became a very dear friend and together they began the time frame in her life where she did days on end of research and studying anything they could get their hands on. It was all about the knowledge. Currently at this time in her life she has spent time with many psychics, astrologers, numerologists, healers, reiki masters, tarot readers, and gemologists, an entire spiritual family on the path to higher learning. This book and others to follow are something she has been wanting to put together for many years due to seeing first-hand how children and/or parents have had misgivings, fears, doubts and questions about things children see, hear or feel. She wants a way for communication to be open on these topics between adult and child, to allow them to realize that they are not alone in what they experience. If this goal can be met then a lot more children can develop their talents at a much earlier age, which would be amazing for everyone involved. What a wonderful world this would be if we could all appreciate the imagination, creativity, honesty and awe of the spirituality of the child. Living in light and blessings.
