I’ve been following the untimely and sad death of Whitney Houston.  Although I appreciate the media addressing the issue of how prescription drugs are taking lives, spending energy on all of the enablers and those doing whatever she said is getting old.  Who will step up and give air time to the champions who spoke up to Whitney?  The people who quit working for her, those who told her she had a problem, those who could not spend one more moment enabling her addiction problem?  The more we model the positive behavior of champions, the more we will learn how to be champions.  Today, I appreciate the champions who stand up for what is right.  To the champions who took risks in speaking up to Whitney, in the name of all that is right and just - thank you.

I spoke with a producer in the UK yesterday.  She asked me about the powerful ‘To Acceptance’ movement, and if I am surprised of the positive support. Honestly, when our family decided to go public and share My Princess Boy, I thought I’d be the most hated mom on the planet. But how proud of our world I am. It’s amazing how allowing our children to be who they are is empowering each of us to be a bit more aware of one’s expression. It’s an honor to live in a world where self reflection of values can lead to growth in every human being.  To acceptance!
