she came on to stage and was embraced with a resounding standing ovation. one tear slid from my eye...a living legend indeed. i was so moved by dr. maya angelou with her heart full of pure love and knowing, her voice speaking through hundreds of years like the living blues, and the wisdom she imparted upon us like a precious gift. it is a night i will remember forever.her simple message woven through story and song and prose, was that we all have the power to be a rainbow in someone else's cloud...the power to reshape someone's entire life by reaching out with our own unique brand of love and magic. as i sat in a sea of hundreds of hopeful souls gathered at the foot of this one woman, i thought to myself, yes. it is possible and so important. to give hope. to inspire each other. to share in the power and the wonder of the human spirit. last night, it lifted me way up.

How fortunate for you to have spent time with Maya Angelou. What an amazing spiritual teacher, we are blessed to be living at a time that her messages can be heard in person and then lived out.
so happy for you that you were able to see this amazing woman.
WOW!!! i just got a book of "CELEBRATIONS" by this wonderful woman!on loan from the library along with 2 Mary Oliver books! So GLAD YOU got to seeeeeeeeee her in person!!!
I saw Ms Angelou speak about a year ago and found her message impacted me more than I ever expected.
Today I'm writing a blog post HERE and have placed a link to your blog because you have written about being "a rainbow" so eloquently!
PS: the post is scheduled to publish on January 17th.
