To celebrate what would have been Maya Angelou’s 90th birthday, here is the great lady herself with ‘I Rise’. She is never less than inspiring. I’ve posted this video before but it never fails to touch my soul.
Take care and keep laughing!

The Real England is a concise, direct, and not-so-gentle window into the depths of the leftovers of the world’s once greatest empire. It is told from the perspective of one lone (or not so lone) long term visitor. It informs one of the dregs of the country and helps to explain quaint British oddities such as the crack addicted chav.

Thank you, everyone. She was quite, quite magnificent. I think we should all recite it into the mirror every morning or listen to Angelou herself. The words lift my heart and make me feel I’m capable of coping with anything that’s thrown at me.
