These pages propose a new approach to emotional healing: walking through your soul's house, room by room, using the familiar analogy of tidying up. My intention is very simple: to offer a strategy for improving everyday life, whether you just need to dust off or do a complete renovation .I also hope to empower each of you by offering new ways to perceive your life's challenges. There are no completely hopeless situations. No matter how sad the situation may seem to you through the glasses of illusion, there is always at least one path that will lead you out of the darkness. Just as a neglected, time-worn house can be restored to its original beauty, so the house of our soul can be filled with new life and turned into a cozy abode where a wonderful life will blossom.S. Carrington-Smith
