Maya Angelou was on the Oprah show in April as she celebrated a 70+ birthday. While she was there, she shared many things she's learned over the course of her life and especially her insights on aging. I liked hearing that she was interested in the race her breasts were having to see which would reach her waist first -- I can relate! She was very warm and funny and wise. This is probably my favorite quote from the show:
"I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back." (Maya Angelou)
I agree.

I love Maya Angelou! My favorite quote from her is," We do what we know, and when we know better, we do better." She is so awesome!

There is one good thing about being small chested. It'll take awhile longer to reach my waist.
