Some beautiful words on embracing ageing courtesy of Oprah and Maya Angelou:
So when the talk show goddess recently shared some wisdom that was passed on to her by the great Maya Angelou? Well, naturally, we were all ears., Oprah was joined in Minnesota by actor, comedian and writer Tina Fey, where the pair chatted about ageing.On the topic, Fey, who turns 50 this year, said: “I feel like I’m at an age where all the things I’ve ever thought I wanted to do, I did them. I always wanted to work at; I always wanted to have a show; I always wanted to have children.
Fey has two children with her composer husband, Jeff Richmonds. She added: “So I feel like I’m trying to be quiet, and take things in. And listen. I’m waiting for something inside me to tell me that the next thing is I want to do.” Oprah agreed, encouraging Fey to wait. “Wait for that. Don’t tell it. Let it tell you.” This is something she learned herself, she said, when her talk show ended in 2011. She felt pressured to lock in her next move – but later, she realised she could have waited for the answer to come to her without the struggle.She added that, in her experience, life only gets better with age – something she learned from Maya Angelou and, in her experience, has proven to be true.
