Random-osity: Words.

Words.

"I can be changed by what happens to me. But I refuse to be reduced by it."

"When you learn, teach. When you get, give."

"We may encounter many defeats, but we must not be defeated"

"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."

"Nothing can dim the light which shines from within."

-- Maya Angelou

What a power we lost last week. May her legacy and the power of her words live on within all of us.

renae said... {Reply}: Wonderful tribute to Maya Angelo. I love bleeding hearts. My grandma taught me them as my first flower. She lived right next door and passed when I was 13. She was my second momma. Thanks for this wonderful post.

Sharon said... {Reply}: Great quotes. My favorite is "When you learn, teach. When you get, give." That sums up how to live. Your area is really spring-like finally. It's wonderful to see the green and the colorful blooms!; June 6, 2014 at 9:56 PM
