Today I share with you my Birthday MBK with these words from Maya Angelou She said, I’ ve learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I learned that even when I have pain, I don’t have.to be one. I’ve learned that ever day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back. I’ve learned that I still have a lot to learn. I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.
