Sometimes you can waist valuable time searching for silly videos on You Tube; in the meantime you can watch Iyanla and get inspired!

Iyanla Vanzant gives out information that people need to hear when they need to hear it. Those who have it all together shouldn't watch her or buy her books. As for the rest of us, we'll keep on healing.

@commins100 Right I don't usually respond to youtube comments but I thought I make an exception. Before you spread false allegations please educate yourself on the pre western religion in Africa. I don't dispute the spiritual enrichment some people gained from it's doctrines, but there is a darker side to it which you have to take into consideration as well. So please think carefully before you brandish someone with your undeserved remarks. Be well

@tbursee kinda makes me sad someone can watch this lesson and comeback with all these negative comments that do not matter, you are not her and I do believe just because something like this might make you fall apart doesn't make everyone that way. I m sure you have your own reality going on that you cant handle, I think your eyes have adjusted to the level of deficiency around you lol maybe you need to watch again with and open mind and heart without all these preconceptions you have.

Sadly, Satan works is different ways, and your looking at this power with Yanla. Oprah has spread out the seed in many different directions, and Miss Vanzant is one of those directions. Beware off False Gods. " I am the Lord thy God and thy shalt not bare FALSE witness against me."
