Maya Angelou...her words...Inspire
Her survival - overcoming rape and hatred....Gives hope.....
Her determination...to hold on...to never give up...Empowers.
Her survival from darkness...Motivates.
Listening to her words...the calmness of her voice...with its strength and confidence..does something to me...it pushes me forward to live my best life..to make a difference in the world....to help even one person...Know Hope.....and to let freedom have its way....
To listen to the video....you'll have to close my playlist on the sidebar.

Hi Sarah,
Inspired words give me a reason to hope, hope gives me a reason to go on; no matter what adversity I may face. God gives me strength in my weaknesses.
