    She takes simple words and makes them into beautiful music with her sense of rhythm. Gorgeous.

    I got to meet this woman... I got to shake her hand and give her a hug. She has a powerful, loving energy about her. She really is a wonderful person.

    R.I.P. Dr. Angelou. Her books were introduced to me while I was in high school. My English teacher was a huge fan of hers, she asked us to read: I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings, and had us analysed it.That was the first time I have ever read anything by Dr. Angelou. I went on to reading more of her books, my favorite poem by her is Phenomenal Woman. Dr. Maya Angelou you will be sadly missed for your wonderful contribution to literature and the person you were. Your books and poems are being use in Colleges and Universities. Thank you Dr. Maya Angelou. R.I.P

    She has the most genuine and beautiful smile and laugh. She’d been through so much in her life but she chose joy and rose up above the adversity. If ever there was an angel put on this earth to be an example of strength, integrity and love, it was Maya. Her words still live on... they move us and give us hope.

    Fear may beat me up.
    Anxiety may knock me around.
    Panic attacks may have knocked me down.
    But like the fighter I am...
    It never knocked me out.
    I am a fighter.
    I rise!

    This is one of my absolute favorite poems for it speaks of all the things I am in my warrior's heart. Keeping your head up in the face of adversity and never letting anyone or anything defeat you on the inside. Not needing to respond with words or anger.... not needing to respond at all, but showing with the bright light of your spirit that you can never be kept down. It always seems to be the strength you have on the inside not the outside that can move mountains or make a difference!

    That is good. She just likes to be called by that title though. I don't think she even got the honorary title. But she still manages to inspire many people through her writings. And I think that is good.
