I can't express what her work has meant to me. <BR/>Thanks again.<BR/><BR/>GreyGrey Day Soulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00952958832628688717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-38547376459243811402008-04-04T13:50:00.000-07:002008-04-04T13:50:00.000-07:00You (and the wonderous Maya Angelou) have finally ...You (and the wonderous Maya Angelou) have finally evoked my 1st comment!<BR/><BR/>Isn't synergy a marvel? I flat out needed to hear her words, to recall her triumph over her life's struggles, and to become reacquainted with her, our, and my own Strength. <BR/><BR/>I love when someone's expression makes me cry. And the Inaugural poem did it good.<BR/><BR/>So, I raise my spirit to deeply thank Maya Angelou for being born. And I thank you, Dear Ms Snarker, for your devotion to women great and small. <BR/><BR/>I hope u have some idea of how much u Joy u add to the world. :)GrinMistresshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08398200101299576210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-79303113359848518402008-04-04T11:19:00.000-07:002008-04-04T11:19:00.000-07:00Thank you so much Dorothy.I had the good fortune o...Thank you so much Dorothy.<BR/>I had the good fortune of meeting Dr. Angelou a few years ago at the military academy I attended. Sadly many of my fellow cadets did not understand or appreciate her brilliance and honesty.<BR/>So once again, thank you.Marvourneenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02929120037747761646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-80190031901834656592008-04-04T10:31:00.000-07:002008-04-04T10:31:00.000-07:00Maya Angelou is one of my all-time favorite human ...Maya Angelou is one of my all-time favorite human beings.

I agree with you about her voice. When I listened to the video, the bass in her voice made me and my subwoofer tremble. In her autobiography she writes that as a child, after a terrible trauma, she stopped talking for a year. It is my feeling that her voice aged like a fine wine during that dormant period. I can't listen to her without getting weepy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-40352387192446417982008-04-04T07:20:00.000-07:002008-04-04T07:20:00.000-07:00Dr. Angelou (sigh) often I have conversations with...Dr. Angelou (sigh) often I have conversations with my friends about who I would like to meet. My answer has always been the same, Maya Angelou and Celia Cruz. When ever I hear her speak, when ever I see her picture or read her words, tears come to my eyes. <BR/><BR/>As soon as I opened your page the words “Oh my God” came out of my mouth. I love this woman. Words can not express the respect and admiration that I have for her.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Snarker, I often find myself agreeing with you on your weekend crushes and topics you post, but today, today I take off my hat and give you a bow. <BR/><BR/>Happy 80th Dr. AngelouAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-44652293041509893032008-04-04T07:14:00.000-07:002008-04-04T07:14:00.000-07:00Excellent choice, Ms. Starker, for so many reasons...Excellent choice, Ms. Starker, for so many reasons.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-86983752881191778192008-04-04T06:56:00.000-07:002008-04-04T06:56:00.000-07:00Maya is ... is... is... well... the only word that...Maya is ... is... is... well... the only word that comes close is phenominal really and it just seems so inadequate like you said.<BR/><BR/>I love the woman, love what she represents, she's amazing!<BR/><BR/>And thank you as you usually for your exceptional taste in women.<BR/><BR/>Happy weekend to you as well.Slymhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17544694279694387177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-77234662141329309872008-04-04T06:54:00.001-07:002008-04-04T06:54:00.001-07:00My one regret was a chance to hear Maya speak at a...My one regret was a chance to hear Maya speak at a convention in Texas I was attending only to have it suddenly taken away from me by the airline I had booked my trip with. Suddenly the later flight I was to go home on was no longer and the only chance to get home was much earlier that morning...and insuring I would miss seeing and hearing this wonderful woman in person. It is the only time I found myself out right angry and not able to compose myself. But I had to take the early flight and miss her because of what was waiting for me back at home.<BR/><BR/>So happy 80th Maya and thank you for all you have given this world and I still plan on coming to hear you speak...some day, some way!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-22447868376681572112008-04-04T06:54:00.000-07:002008-04-04T06:54:00.000-07:00Once again, a most excellent choice!
