Sorry for the multiple posts, but in case you are offended or turned off by religion, I just want to clarify this is not a religious book, although VanZandt is now a minister. She explains in the beginning to subsitute 'higher power' or 'spiritual' or 'soul' or whaterver you choose..when she uses the word God...it's part of her identity, but this book does not contain a bunch of Bible scriptures or based upon the religion of Christianity, and is mix of both psychology and spiritual inspiration - or soulfulness. I'm not even sure what religion she ministers for, but both those who are religious or not religious, will gain much from this book. I have a strong feeling it will be a great match for you in particular and at the same time, will help you cope-as that was the original issue you posted about.
"What is the meantime? According to author and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, being in the "meantime" means being in a state of limbo. "When you are not happy where you are and you are not quite sure if you want to leave or how to leave, you are in the meantime," she explains. Rather than wallow in confusion, Vanzant encourages you to use the meantime as an opportunity to prepare yourself for true love. The first order of business is to clean house, starting with the basement--the place in the psyche where you store your most destructive thoughts. Room by room, Vanzant takes you through a metaphorical cleaning of the soul. This way, when your meantime days are over and love finally comes knocking on the front door, you'll have a clean house to welcome love into."
