I’ve always loved Maya Angelou.
Hers was a life of numerous trials and tribulations. She grew up a in the segregated South. She was a survivor of childhood rape and became a teenage mom.
Yet, Maya found a way to transform her extremely difficult early experiences into literary gold.
As an author and inspirational teacher, Maya lifted many souls to their highest potential with her words of wisdom.
Maya was a bright, beautiful light and the world became a darker place when she passed on, last year.
Bill Clinton called her a national treasure and I couldn’t agree more.
In memory and in appreciation for the courage and wisdom of the one and only Maya…
This short, heartwarming video features her very best quotes…
These are my personal favorites.
I hope Maya’s words will inspire you as much as they’ve inspired me.
I hope they give you the strength to face the trials and tribulations in your life…
And to experience each day with a little more hope, grace and joy in your heart.
