Straight Talk from the Spirit

This is the story of one woman's quest for a Divine Vision and the unexpected ways in which her prayers were answered. It is an introduction as well as an advanced exploration of the dance between spirit and soul, shared in a clever, heartwarming, and humorous way. When Carol finds her consciousness shifting during the months of healing following a cerebral hemorrhage (or what she calls "the brain blitz") in the left hemisphere of her brain, it concerns her, terrifies her and also intrigues her. That is when she discovers unknown abilities emerging, and begins to hear the voice of her own higher-self in the form of a whimsical, mischievous, angel named, Rashana. It is through this communication between her spirit and soul, that Carol reinvents herself and reframes the reality in which she lives. In this wise and witty dialogue that began at her computer's keyboard, we witness the development of a relationship that reveals many of the answers we all search for. Where we would ordinarily be limited by our "still, small voice", Rashana rushes through the opened doorway of Carol's mind with feathers and sparkle-dust flying. Her blue, wrinkled "angel dress" completes the picture, ensuring she appears just as Carol would expect - being an angel of Creative Communication, of course! A book that explores both path and purpose and shows us a space inside all of us, where the soul can touch the heart of God. Carol Gino offers her personal journey with amazing honesty and hope.

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 Gino's dreams come true. Ahead of her Gino 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's in the Fashion Pavilion, where Gino 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 Everysoul, 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.
