Back at you for how you can become even more valuable than as President, where you could call for people to become signatory to what MLK Jr. named as the Beloved Community. Being cheeky enough to run for President, which is so far from your wheelhouse, why not pivot to what's right in step with who you are? I could see that being bigger than the Democrats and Republicans combined, and what a blessed relief it would be for good people to have something to belong to that calls for love to be the way.

“If you must look back, do so forgivingly. If you will look forward, do so prayerfully.

But the wisest course would be to be in the present in the present gratefully.”

Thanks so much, Marrianne, for sharing this wise advice from Maya Angelou to be in the present gratefully.

God bless you now and forever.

I appreciate reading your message this morning. Maya Angelou is the ancestor that I have prayed to for guidance when I was going through on of the most difficult times in my life. Her words of wisdom and calm, loving energy always filled me with power and peace. She is always with us!
