"A bird doesn't  sing because it has an answer, it sings because it has a song." -Maya Angelou

To honor the life and words of writer and activist Maya Angelou (who passed May 28, 2014) is to honor the voice of freedom in each of us. As a numerologist, I am humbled to give tribute to Angelou in numerological terms. The numbers in her name illustrate a sensitive and spiritual woman that needed to be heard.

Born April 4, 1928, she had a destiny of a 1, all about leadership and inspiration. The numbers in her birth name, Marguerite Ann Johnson shows her inner spiritual self, yet it is an introverted vibration with a desire for seclusion (9/7/7). She certainly had a rough childhood and chose to live in silence for 6 years.

Her inspired name, Maya Angelou, created a numerological vibration of 6/1/7, which added heartfelt compassion to the spiritual aspect. This combined reflection helped her to be out there in the world sharing her spiritual wisdom and inspiring poetry with others. Maya's spirit lives on.
