I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings by Maya Angelou

I listened to this book narrated by Maya herself. There is something so soul grabbing to be told the story of someone's life by that person. It was heartbreaking and amazing.

I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Good morning and Happy Saturday to everyone who agrees that everyone nominated to trump's cabinet should be subjected to an extensive FBI probe, as a matter of national security.

The more shady details in their background, the more prone to blackmail they are, the less safe we'll be.
