I had one of the most incredible weekends ever! I got a chance to do something that was a once in a lifetime thing. My mom, daughter Brittany, SIL Kim, Kim's mom, and my niece all got a chance to see the amazing Maya Angelou in person!!! Ms. Angelou was speaking at the University of Missouri-Columbia where my niece attends, so we all got tickets for $10!! I know! $10 is a steal! I would have paid 10 times that amount for the chance to sit in the 7th row (which we did) to hear this intellegent, brilliantly funny, super-amazing, extremely talented, and down-to earth woman speak! I'll tell you that she was sooooo motivating and captivating! It was just an amazing experience and I'm so blessed to have shared this experienced with my family! She really focused on the importance of having courage in your life, and the importance of simply being kind to one another. She called it Having Rainbows in your Clouds! Just fabulous!!
This kind lady named Jamie posted on my blog a few days ago. She asked me if I minded if she shared my blog with others. Well, I thought she was very nice for asking and I told her I didn't mind at all. Well, look at what I found on her blog today, Savannah Scrapbooking! It's soooo darned nice! I really appreciate the compliment and I am honored. Thank you so much for the shout-out Jamie!! Well, take care and Be Blessed!
