IN THE MEANTIME - Finding yourself and the love you want


Iyanla Vanzant in her book ‘In the Meantime –Finding yourself and the love you want’ prepares us for the meantime. When we know where we want to be, but no clue how to get there, what we want in life but what we want is nowhere in sight, when our purposes are still undefined, when our relationships are failing,when we have heartbreaking experiences and when we realise that our vision is unclear we are in the middle of meantime. All human beings pass through this stage at one time or the other in their life time.Some of us manage to come out of this, some do not.

The author stresses the need to experience the light of love….true self-love and unconditional love for everyone all the time….which will make things look, feel and be a lot better.She teaches us how we can do this through mental housekeeping....how to clean the 'basement' and live in the 'upstairs'. According to her, if we do a good job of it, the light will come through. Once that happens, our spirits will shine, bringing in the light of true love and happiness.That is what, she says, we need to do in the meantime.
I loved this book from the first to the last page.
A must read for all those who are struggling to find themselves and what they want in life!
