Down to Earth and inspiring. Accumulated wisdom of a lifetime about being a woman in all ways.

BLTSbraille | Oct 25, 2021 |

A series of very short rules to live by. The few that are more observations are enlightening but most are so often routed that they're almost cliches. Doesn't mean they're not true but merely too obvious to be inspiring. (

Words to live by so eloquently penned by Maya Angelou. Could anything be better? (

Many words of wisdom but far too short a book. Now reading her poetry. (

I have to give this little book 5 out of 5. I really enjoyed it and now wish to own a copy of my own. It was quick and easy to read and made me think a lot. I'd struggle to find a favourite part as I enjoyed it all. A must read for me. (
