What you’re supposed to do when you don’t like a thing is change it. If you can’t change it, change the way you think about it. Don’t complain.

— Maya Angelou

Today I instructed a free senior #fitness class in Spanish (more like Span-English) at La Alianza Hispana in #Boston.

The room was filled with joy, 😅teamwork, and movement for all abilities.

📌The takeaway I want to share comes from Maya Angelou’s poem “Human Family”:

“We are more alike, my friends, than we are unalike.”
“Somos más parecidos, mis amigos, de lo que somos diferentes.”❤️

¡Pa’Lante!💪🏾

Ognuno merita un giorno di quiete,
un giorno in cui i problemi tacciano,
e nessuna risposta debba essere cercata … https://cctm.website/maya-angelou-un-giorno-di-quiete/

Maya Angelou

“You can kill me with your hatefulness, but still, like air, I’ll rise.”

Woorden van Maya Angelou (1928–2014), die blijven resoneren.
Hoe hard sommigen ook proberen om het goede, het mooie, het kwetsbare te verpletteren — het blijft groeien. Net als in de natuur.

Het leven zoekt altijd een weg.
Het goede zoekt altijd een weg.

En dus: blijf opstaan.
Blijf groeien.
Blijf bloeien.

#NewInkDay: Diamine Hope Pink in the Lamy 2000. Went for "Still I Rise" by Mary Angelou.

An unapologetic poem, vibrant with life, to go with a audaciously pink ink.

I think the world would be a better place if we all learned to laugh like we've got gold mines diggin' in our own backyards.
