Found your blog & love it. I’m a school librarian and would love to display the Maya Angelou quote about changing “it” or your attitude. I want to make sure I do so legally & ethically – always modeling what I expect from my students.
May I have your permission to display this quote – If you don’t like something, Change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude. – crediting your blog and Ms. Angelou?
Thank you for replying.
Sincerely, Anna
