  <description><![CDATA[What is the meantime? According to author and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, being in the &quot;meantime&quot; means being in a state of limbo. &quot;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,&quot; 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. ]]></description>

    <![CDATA[What is the meantime? According to author and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, being in the &quot;meantime&quot; means being in a state of limbo. &quot;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,&quot; 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. ]]>

    <body><![CDATA[I am okay, my relationships are okay.  This is a book that seems to put everything in perspective as far as relationships go, past, present and future.  I can apply this to my life, easily, and I like the common sense approach Vanzant uses.  Yep, a gooder.]]></body>

    <![CDATA[What is the meantime? According to author and inspirational speaker Iyanla Vanzant, being in the &quot;meantime&quot; means being in a state of limbo. &quot;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,&quot; 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. ]]>
