Phenomenal, Is Who I Am

Found this beautiful reminder by Dr. Maya Angelou in my in my saved photos (April 30, 2020). “I’m a woman. Phenomenally. Phenomenal woman, that’s me.”

Such a beautiful find!💎

And timely!

I’m currently reading Dr. Angelou’s book, “A Song Flung Up To Heaven.” I read it ages ago and recently found it after my mom passed. It was packed away with her things. When I read it the first time, I read it without stopping to soak in her stories. Now that I’m older and in the process of finding my space in this over-50 community and the work that I’m finding myself drawn to, her stories are hitting differently. I see her.

Mother. Daughter. Sister. Friend.

Advocacy. Politics. Equality. Human Rights. Freedom.

Love. Life. Being.

Art.

Music.

Rhythm.

I feel this.

It’s who I am.

Yes…

A phenomenal woman.

That’s me.♥️
