THE LOVELY WORDS OF THE LATE MAYA ANGELOU, WHO WROTE: “MY MISSION IN LIFE IS NOT MERELY TO SURVIVE, BUT TO THRIVE; AND TO DO SO WITH SOME PASSION, SOME COMPASSION, SOME HUMOR, AND SOME STYLE.”
VincenzoPickatelli (15 years ago)
I had a friend, Virginia Tremble who was my surrogate mother. I would get lost in my talks with her down at the church. Every time I listen to Dr Angelou it is like I am talking with Virginia. She became suddenly ill with cancer and passed quickly. My pastor went to see her and he said she looked so poorly. He asked her how she felt and she simply said " Pastor, it is well with my soul". She passed soon afterward. I miss her much.

Proud to be one of those daughters... Dr. Angelou inspires me everyday... Her words, the way she uses them, burrows deep.

My grandmother Cora was exactly like that. She never diminished me. She loved me, she defined me. By example she was love and I am love just like her

In my entire life I have never heard any person state what I have always felt and that is that no person should believe that their entire life or reason for existence revolves around their children. Thank you Maya for sharing this with the world. I have watched so many women waste away because once her child rearing duties are over she doesn't feel that she has any value.

Dr. Angelo was "Gods" earthly angel with "words". We have lost the best of our times. Read the "Cage Bird Sing" and come to know me.
