Maya Angelou – Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take…

the Daily Quote

Today is May 19th, and welcome to The Daily Quote—a podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host, Andrew McGivern, and this podcast is making me hungy...

Because yesterday was National Cheese Souffle Day (Delicious) but today...

...we celebrate National Devil's Food Cake Day.

Yes, you heard that right. It's a day dedicated to the richer, darker sibling of the classic angel food cake. Devil's Food Cake, known for its airy, moist texture paired with deep chocolate flavors, might just be the temptation we all need to indulge in a little. So why not give in to a sweet taste today?

Speaking of indulgence and temptation, let's connect that to today's quote which is yet another awesome quote by Maya Angelou, who wisely said:

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."

Angelou's words remind us that true living happens when we embrace experiences that fill us with awe and wonder, even if they seem a bit daunting at first.

As you go through your day today, think about the "Devil's Food Cakes" in your own life.

What are the moments or experiences that take your breath away, but you've been holding back from fully savoring?

Sometimes, giving in to those breathtaking moments doesn't mean losing control, but rather embracing life fully.

And who knows? That slice of cake today might just be the breathtaking indulgence you need. Just remember to savor each bite as if it were a lesson on enjoying the little moments that make life truly worth living.

Thanks for joining me today on The Daily Quote. I hope this serves as a delicious reminder that sometimes, it's perfectly fine to treat yourself to experiences that take your breath away. Have a wonderful day, and remember, a little indulgence can be a gateway to living life to the fullest.
