I lost my mom in January of 2013. She was my inspiration. She always told us to see the gifts God gave you. She always told us we can do anything we set our minds too. I was inspired through my grief to help others through theirs. I write these poems for people who have lost their loved one in a tragedy or they have just passed on to heaven to return home. They are now our angels watching over us. When I sit and think of a person and how sad they must be or how their heart is breaking so much, it inspires me to write. It lifts their hearts to a peace filled state; their hearts can be light again to enjoy the memory of their lost loved one. They can smile once again, knowing their loved ones are with them always in Gods miracles. He shows us his work in the beauty of the sky and the world in general, all around us. He tries to help us get through our grief by showing how green the grass is or how blue the sky can be. I love you, Mom. I love you, Dad. Thank you for showing me Gods gifts.

NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER • A moving memoir about the legendary author’s relationship with her own mother. Emma Watson’s Our Shared Shelf Book Club Pick! The story of Maya Angelou’s extraordinary life has been chronicled in her multiple bestselling autobiographies. But now, at last, the legendary author shares the deepest personal story of her life: her relationship with her mother. For the first time, Angelou reveals the triumphs and struggles of being the daughter of Vivian Baxter, an indomitable spirit whose petite size belied her larger-than-life presence—a presence absent during much of Angelou’s early life. When her marriage began to crumble, Vivian famously sent three-year-old Maya and her older brother away from their California home to live with their grandmother in Stamps, Arkansas. The subsequent feelings of abandonment stayed with Angelou for years, but their reunion, a decade later, began a story that has never before been told. In Mom & Me & Mom, Angelou dramatizes her years reconciling with the mother she preferred to simply call “Lady,” revealing the profound moments that shifted the balance of love and respect between them. Delving into one of her life’s most rich, rewarding, and fraught relationships, Mom & Me & Mom explores the healing and love that evolved between the two women over the course of their lives, the love that fostered Maya Angelou’s rise from immeasurable depths to reach impossible heights. Praise for Mom & Me & Mom “Mom & Me & Mom is delivered with Angelou’s trademark good humor and fierce optimism. If any resentments linger between these lines, if lives are partially revealed without all the bitter details exposed, well, that is part of Angelou’s forgiving design. As an account of reconciliation, this little book is just revealing enough, and pretty irresistible.”—The Washington Post “Moving . . . a remarkable portrait of two courageous souls.”—People “[The] latest, and most potent, of her serial autobiographies . . . [a] tough-minded, tenderhearted addition to Angelou’s spectacular canon.”—Elle “Mesmerizing . . . Angelou has a way with words that can still dazzle us, and with her mother as a subject, Angelou has a near-perfect muse and mystery woman.”—Essence

Devotional inspiration for Moms Are you a mom struggling to manage after being sequestered, social distanced and masked due to this CO-VID 19 pandemic with feelings, at times of being overwhelmed, toppled with despondency and despair?” Then this instant inspiration is for you!!! “Hang in there, girl, I stand with you and am cheering for you!!! You are more of a superhero than you know coming up with innovative ways to parent, play and educate all the while managing your own personal world professionally, and at times, virtually. So go on girl, with your awesome self, and by God’s grace, you will finish well. The decision to become a mom can feel like a ‘wild’ one at times. I didn’t even know who I was or what I was doing, and no amount of reading, ‘What to do in the 1st 24months’ could have ever prepared me for what was to come in the form of feeling at times, overwhelmed, amid meal preps, laundry pile-ups, temper tantrums, teething bouts, spit-ups running fevers and doctor’s visits. So, take heart my dearest sister, you are not alone. And even if you had it all together when you first got pregnant, having a child, can still rock your very world as you once knew it. But I say today, “it’s all going to be okay,” as was once shared with me by a very close friend. At times, it may all appear to be seemingly insurmountable circumstances. I just want to encourage Moms all around the world that they are not alone and that all things are possible as we encourage each other throughout our mom journey.
