The Daily Dance with Divinity

Life is both beautiful and ugly, empowering and confining - all at once. Just when you think you've mastered it, another challenge appears, inviting you to discover more of yourself waiting to unfold. This is the essence of Iyanla Vanzant's philosophy in "Until Today!" We all contain multitudes - the self we present to others (our majestic peaks and verdant meadows), the self we hide (valleys of self-doubt and deserts of anger), and a third realm we're just beginning to discover - lush hillsides of hope, beaches of confidence, and gardens of self-love. "If by chance no one has told you that they love you today," Vanzant writes, "I would be honored to be the first to say, I love you today!" With these words, she invites us into a transformative journey that doesn't just change how we think - it changes who we are.
