Maya Angelou shares advice, wisdom, observations and humor within the pages of this book. There are several quotes I've highlighted to share but thought only a few will be shared the rest I will save for later.
The words written upon these pages were a comfort to me. Maya Angelou gives advice on everything but her advice on self-love speaks volumes. I loved this book with every word I read I could hear Maya Angelou speaking the words. This book was inspiring, hit home and I was sad to see the book come to an end. I was inspired by this quote: "Let gratitude be the pillow upon which you kneel to say your nightly prayer. And let faith be the bridge you build to overcome evil and welcome Good!"
Another quote from this book that I hold dear to my heart and soul is this: "One should never let the love of one's child prevent or hinder the vital and necessary work of parenting.
