Maya Angelou Interview - What a gift!

Today, I treated myself well by listening to the dialogue between Ellie and Dr. Maya Angelou - that was a gift of self-love and a tool for personal growth.

The precious gems shared were numerous and worth every moment of my precious time spent.

I loved her definition of a woman - someone who takes responsibility for the time she takes and the space she occupies.

The sharing of how she was liberated by her mother... and her story of unconditional love was touching.

And then Dr. Angelou spoke of Courage as one of the most important virtues a woman can have. "Not angry, not impatient with the work you do – just hope and pray to be better - don’t need to be held tight to anybody else opinions."

The words "Give yourself the authority to be comfortable in your own skin." in my mind, are words we should always keep by our side and teach to our young daughters, nieces, sisters...

Maya's sharing on forgiveness was enough to send a shiver down one's spine - Forgiveness of self – forgiveness of the offender –

"Have to know that people only do what they know how to do. I can be changed by events that have happened to me but I refuse to be reduced."

There is so much more ... and I certainly cannot do it justice in a blog. I urge you to give yourself a wonderful gift of self-love by taking the time to listen and savor the words and wisdom of these two phenomenal women - Dr.Maya Angelou and Ellie Drake.
