Maya Angelou 1928-2014
Today and yesterday, as I read about the phenomenal life of Dr. Angelou it was easy to compare my life with hers and come up wanting. I suspected she would not be pleased with me for that behavior. Thank goodness my search for a quote for Nurturing Thursday led me to this beautiful image with the words I needed to hear. I hope they have meaning for you as well. Feel free to grab it up if you feel so moved.

Great idea, Carol ~ I’m thinking of filling an art sketchbook with beautiful quotes, illustrating them myself, then posting the photographs. Of course, that may take some time! 🙂
