Iyana is a wonderful life coach. This woman has lived a hard life from living in the projects as a single parent and going to law school dealing with and abusive husband to having another man tell her he didn't want a aready made family and walking out on her. Iyana is a big inspiration to me and I love her books and CDs which brought me through a difficult time in love. Her book "In the Meantime is a book all women should read. BIG UPS TO IYANA I LOVE YOU KEEP DOING WHAT YOU DO BEST "LIVIN"

First off if you are not intune with your own inner self you will not understand the true meaning behind this message. The message clearly states that if you look at things one way and never allow yourself to see things in a different view then you might need to get your vision adjusted spiritually. Yes duh!! you knew that but at the same time why do you seek certified help from professional when God holds all the answers you need. Look within in your own heart for inspiration. Be Blessed.
