Like much of the world, I'm in shock and in pain over the loss of Whitney Houston. The woman was incredible, regardless of the negativity she endured in the media the last couple of decades. Even though I keep hearing people say it's not a shock; it is to me. I'm even more shocked that people just don't seem to care about human life or the sacredness of the deceased. How can you reduce a person to their faults like WHAT they did is WHO they are? I'll never understand that. That woman gave the world WAY more reasons to celebrate her than to condemn her.
It never mattered to me what troubles she faced, I have always and "will always love you", Whitney. I saw she had demons, so I said a little prayer when I saw such craziness in the news. I'm so sad to hear of her constant struggles, but I'm glad she shared her God given talent with the world; her gift that proved to be much bigger than her addiction. Her body of work includes dozens of classics and no one can do it quite like her. May she rest in total peace...she always knew Jesus loved her (and us), no matter what.
Losing someone, even if you don't know them, always brings on a time for reflection. Reflection of our lives, our own actions or lack of them, and a conviction to do something. If you're happy with your life the way it is great, keep doing what you're doing. If you're not, get to living. If you have breath, you have been given a do-over. Let's live!!
My affirmation for today was in memory of Whitney Houston,
"I know my Life has meaning and I make it
meaningful every day!!"
