The Mean time is still the present moment ... and should be made the most of

I just love this woman's deep passion and if you ever hear her speak ... you just get it in the gut how close to the bone her wisdom is! The tone is simple but the actions they inspire are not. It is not easy to be breaking lifelong habits and cleaning the residue of all the years they operated unconsciously in you. But ... it can be done ... and worth it. No one ever won an Olympic God Medal without the agony of hard endurance training over many years. Hence, why the meantime is just as precious as the moment on the podium. "I'm a great believer in luck and I find the harder I work, the more I have of it." - Thomas Jefferson

Iylanla Digs Deep

I have been a Starting Over Fan since I stumbled across it during the second season. Iyanla Vanzant is one of the "life coaches" who helps women deal with their pain and problems. In her book, Living Through the Meantime, Iyanla gives readers the necessary tools to dig deep and uncover all the muck and wounds so that they can be their authentic selves and not just a shell of a woman.

If you are ready to change your life get this book

This book is very good, it really opens up your thinking and allows you to move on to a more positive person. I cannot thank Iylana enough for righting such a intrespective book.

Outstanding at any time!

Iyanla Vanzant does not disappoint in this book. She has a very descriptive and engaging way of pulling you along to a point and allowing you the grace to awkwardly express new patterns of behavior. This book is incredible if you are facing a time in your life when you are changing and shifting your patterns and you have moved away from one thing, but have not quite got a grasp on that place you're heading toward. It humanizes the evolution that we all want to go through and gives you honest keys for getting there if you want.
