The Yard Sale of Life: The 8 Coats of Meaning (Downloading the Divine)

One morning as Carol Gino is waking up, she finds herself in a strange landscape. And she’s not alone. Alongside her, in a wrinkled, pink angel outfit, stands Rashana, cloud dancing. Rashana is Gino’s higher self, and she wants to help Carol’s dreams come true. Ahead of her she sees a yard sale, but this is no ordinary yard sale; it’s a Cosmic Yard Sale, where she and Rashana explore life’s mysteries.

Join Carol and Rashana in the Fashion Pavilion, where Carol tries on the Eight Coats of Meaning. Each coat provides the opportunity to find the real value of spirituality and a journey toward a better understanding of life’s purpose. It is a funny, whimsical, accessible allegory that will empower readers to improve their lives by reducing fear and increasing joy and creativity.

This modern fable, presented as the author’s, is also the story of every soul, and the revelations and explanations can serve us all. Simple as a child’s tale, based on many of the great spiritual teachings, this book asks the questions that many of us would like to have answered. Find your spirit and be inspired to write the new pages of your own life’s story.
