Reviews
<em>Housekeeping for the Soul carries its lovely, practical message with
a lilting voice and eclectic viewpoint. The author helps us clear out
some spiritual cobwebs and make our next 'spring cleaning' apply not to
our homes but to the deepest part of ourselves.</em> <strong>Victoria Moran</strong>, author of international bestseller <em>Creating a Charmed Life<br /><br /></em><em>Sandra Carrington-Smith 'brings home' the need to simplify and let
go of psychological 'clutter' in order to be more fully present in our
everyday lives. Housekeeping for the Soul overflows with important
concepts presented in a style that is fresh and relatable. A unique,
'must read' debut from this eloquent author.</em> <strong>S.T. Underdahl</strong>, Clinical Psychologist and author of <em>The Other Sister</em> and <em>Remember This</em>
