So as I'm writing this, there seems to be a struggle with many celebrities on every tabloid fodder. With the passing of Whitney Houston, a wonderful writer (Lynn Crosbie) at the Globe and Mail wrote candidly about her passing and lamented that Houston passed alone in her bathtub with pills. A angelic voice, pretty to the eyes, yet kind of similar to Amy Winehouse: another tragedic ending, due to over scrutiny by media and critics and their unkind words. How often we pass judgement on those in difficulty: like we ourselves have never met dire circumstances and were afraid to reach for help?
I had a conversation with friends about independance and accountability. Like the gym, and how I blog so much about my workouts because I feel accountable to those to come by to read. I love working out but understand when others feel intimidated or uncomfortable going to a gym and having others see them at their very humblest. I do my darnest to come here when I let my hair down and show my feelings. I want to help, to give some encouragement and feel like when people come here, I LOVE IT and feel like I'm contributing something back.
Soon enough there will be a collection of Houston songs out on iTunes or the closest music store within reach. I look forward to it. To listen, to review and to peer into the life of a singer that was so kind and so good. Another brick in the wall, unfortunately. Live on Whitney, live on.
