A Guide to Building a Home for Your Soul In her debut book of inspiration, poet Najwa Zebian shares her revolutionary concept of home the place of safety where you can embrace your vulnerability and discover your self-worth. Too many of us build our homes in other people, hoping that they will welcome us inside and we feel abandoned and empty when those people leave. Building your home inside yourself begins here. The powerful metaphor of home provides a structure for personal transformation as she shows you how to construct the following rooms: Self-Love, Forgiveness, Compassion, Clarity, Surrender, and The Dream Garden. Build each room in your house to form a firm basis for your self-worth, sense of belonging, and happiness. This book provides the life-changing tools for building that inner space of healing and solace.
