When we give cheerfully and accept gratefully, everyone is blessed. - Maya Angelou

I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.

I would like to be known as an intelligent woman, a courageous woman, a loving woman, a woman who teaches by being.

I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
