IN THE MEANTIME : Finding Yourself and the Love You Want

New York, NY: Simon & Schuster, 1998. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good+/Very Good. What is the meantime? According to author and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, being in the "meantime" means being in a state of limbo. "When yo u are not happy where you are and you are not quite sure if you want to le ave or how to leave, you are in the meantime," she explains. Rather than w allow in confusion, Vanzant encourages you to use the meantime as an oppor tunity to prepare yourself for true love. The first order of business is t o clean house, starting with the basement--the place in the psyche where yo u store your most destructive thoughts. Room by room, Vanzant takes you t hrough a metaphorical cleaning of the soul. This way, when your meantime d ays are over and love finally comes knocking on the front door, you'll have a clean house to welcome love into.
