Maya Angelou

"I've learned that no matter what happens, or how bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better tomorrow."
"I've learned that you can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights."
"I've learned that regardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they're gone from your life."
"I've learned that making a "living" is not the same thing as "making a life."
"I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance."
"I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on both hands; you need to be able to throw some things back."
"I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision."
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one."
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.

and then she said....

2 years ago today, my best friend kissed me for the first time. that kiss rocked my world and changed my life.

i spent most of my life searching for the man i could give myself to, not knowing that i was submissive. i just knew that when i found "him" that my world would feel right. i always ended up with characters of what i thought a man should be and was always left wanting, searching, hoping, that "he" existed.

little did i know, that he had been there for 20 years, right under my n... read more

Women -- Stop, Look and Listen! Especially now that women and women's votes are front and center in this Presidential election, you need to have some facts at your fingertips.

this day is burned into my mind for eternity.
it is a day of probably the most pain i have ever been in
and the day of liberation.

and what i wanted out of it
getting that call helped me to gain the courage
1 year to the day latter
to leave my horrific marriage
and to never look back.

my life is good today, ... read more
