Maya Angelou

A truly beautiful woman went home this week.  Maya Angelou died on Wednesday, May 28th in her home in Winston-Salem, NC.  Ms. Angelou was a brilliant and gifted poet and author, to name a few of her accomplishments, and her words, wisdom and presence were a gift to the world.  Although I'd never met her personally, I could feel her energy whenever I heard her speak or read works she had written, and it moved me to where I felt a kinship.  Her passing was very sad news to me, but I am so thankful for the life she lived and shared with us all.  She is an icon, a legend, and her spirit will truly live on forever.  Rest in Peace, Ms. Angelou.
