I confess, I had a different post scheduled for today, but then I heard the sad news that the fabulous Maya Angelou passed away and my post didn't seem so fitting anymore. Instead I wanted to share some of my favorite quotes from Angelou.
Maya Angelou was a renowned poet, a novelist, an actress, a survivor, a director, an activist, and a strong, strong woman. Most importantly though, she was someone that I would call an idol. She may no longer be with us, but her beautiful words and her love for the written word will stay with us forever.
Remember to be kind to yourself and be kind to others, because hate has caused a lot of problems, but it has yet to solve one.

i love that; hate has caused a lot of problems but it has yet to solve one. why are the simplest things the most true? amazing.
I know...when I saw the news, I was shocked, but also...kinda not...does that make sense? I first became familiar with her in high school and her books are in the "change your view of the world" category for me. Truly a great human.
