Celebrating!.....Maya Angelou's Wisdom over a cup of coffee....





Maya Angelou said this:






''I've learned that making a 'living' is not the same thing as 'making a life.''






''I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.''






''I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back....."






''I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel."

Em, have you seen this website of quilts before? http://www.funquilts.com/gallery/gallery1.html Really interesting, unique stuff that I thought you would like. I love the super modern designs.

I got fired once, and it devastated me - I was so ashamed. UNTIL, I read Maya Angelou. She is so wise and compassionate and real, and she said something to the effect that everyone should get fired at least once in their life. I just wish I had done something really wicked to have warranted it...
