    "There is a rainbow in the clouds"
    My son is disable and graduated from high school, during the ceremony it became cloudy and started raining. About 20 minutes into the ceremony, while the clouds were still in the sky pouring rain, two rainbows appeared, one above another. I'm sharing this because I raised my son never expecting him to do more than just exist. He has helped me understand true love and joy in its simplest form. ❤❤❤❤❤

      @yeshonestly4268 3 года назад +6

      This means that there are clear signs about a person which show up in different ways eg: A person may himself/ herself say something not nice about him or herself, maybe as a joke ( believe them for they know themselves) or they REPEATEDLY do bad, strange awful things, know that seldom do ppl change for the better and chances are this behaviour will get worse with time and one day in the future cause harm and may even be disastrous. So believe them in the beginning🤔

      *HEALTHY* self-love is important. There are degrees of self-love, and if you're too busy loving yourself too much it could morph into self-absorption, self-centeredness, selfishness and a tendency to not consider how your words and actions affect others.
      A healthy degree of self-love is very important, as is empathy for others, compassion, altruism, compassion and kindness.

No other virtue can be practiced consistently without courage.” Twenty-one years old, pregnant, and unwed I wrote my personal statement for law school with this quote at its heart. I got in, never failed a class, and passed the bar exam on the first try. Courage, in the way it was proposed by Dr. Maya Angelou, changed my life and the lives of the generations behind me. God 🙏🏾

    "Just do right".
    I love Maya Angelou, mainly because of what she went through, and still pulled herself up by her bootstraps, to try to help others. She is such an inspiration. I feel blessed that she is apart, of Black History, that was in my era.
    When she spoke about being raped at 7 1/2, I cried on the inside, for her, like it just now happened, it was just painful to hear. But when she told all the books she read, in her 5yrs of silence, that was very, very inspiring. God has a way, of turning bad, into good.
    She looks and sounds somewhat like my mama, who always seemed to do the right thing, and do it right, when she was alive. Which is why I've been crying like a baby watching this video, because Maya's sweet, caring voice, sounds just how ny mama gave me words of advice, and would say the same type words. I had written in her obituary, that if I could be just a fraction of the good i saw in her I would be fine. That's what got me even sadder, now, because it don't seem like I've moved an inch toward that goal. But after this good cry I just had, I am going to committ myself to following Maya Angelou advice, as well as my dear mama's, too.✌🏽❤🙏🏻Rest in PARADISE Maya Angelou and ❤my mama❤🌷🌲🎵
    Thank you
