Rest in Peace Maya Angelou.
You made the world a better place.

“There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.”
"We may encounter many defeats but we must not be defeated.”
“I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
We just heard the news. The lady was amazing in so many ways and in so many of the things she did. A new star shines bright in the heavens tonight and our world is a little duller but may her legacy live on.

You are the one who gave me the news, and a very great loss it is.
ReplyDeleteShe made a difference.
=)
We are diminished by her passing - and richer (so much richer) for having been blessed by her presence.
ReplyDeleteShe was incredible and the literary and human/humanitarian world has lost a bright light -- but one with a shining legacy.
ReplyDeleteMaya was an incredible talent who will be remembered and missed by many. And your last quote of hers is so true.
ReplyDeleteThat last quote you posted is one of my faves.
ReplyDeleteRest in peace, Maya. We will miss you. But in the words of George Eliot, "Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them." We have not forgotten you Maya...nor will we ever.
Great tribute to Maya.
ReplyDeleteLovely tribute. She had so much insight and wisdom to share, didn't she?
ReplyDeleteShe had the courage of a lion, and because of her strength, generations will be blessed.
ReplyDeleteShe certainly left an incredible legacy. A life well-lived.

I dropped by to say hello! I have been absent from blogging for a while, and I did miss your posts. It’s good to be back.
ReplyDeleteShe did make the world a better place - especially for us women!
