Farrah and Michael

What a sad day in Hollywood. Two icons gone. Farrah Fawcett totally amazed me with her bravery in her fight with anal cancer. Her documentary of her struggle was amazing and my middle child watched it with me. She learned about real bravery while watching Farrah.

When I was a kid, I loved Charlie's Angels, of course, I wanted to "be" the strong brunette, Sabrina, when all of my friends wanted to be Farrah. :) Farrah was so beautiful, but I found her more beautiful by being open with her fight with cancer in hopes she could help save others lives.

What can we say about Michael Jackson? I have been listening to CNN and I love the stories about him as a kid and teen. He was so sweet before fame put him in a bubble. No matter what anyone believes about his life, we can ALL agree, he was one of the best performers ever and music will NOT be the same without him.

Rest in Peace to two of the icons from my childhood. My prayers are with their families, children and friends.

side note- I am praying MJ's kids will be left alone to grieve in private without the media.

Farrah Fawcett

I have been blown away by Farrah Fawcett. I never thought I would say that. I have never been one to pay any attention at all to female "sex symbols" they always seemed so weak to me to have to use sex to sell when really it is what is inside us that matters, but I realize now I was being judgemental because I have not travelled their personal paths, I will not judge anymore because of one woman....Farrah.

I watched the documentary the other night on Farrah. She allowed a friend to record her journey with having anal cancer. She was so brave to take on this disease and become the face of anal cancer when so many people couldn't even say the words. She was filmed vomiting and weak....she did this to bring awareness for a need for more cancer research and the need to talk about a disease that isn't talked about too much.

I am proud of her. I am praying for her and watching her has changed me for the better! No longer will I judge women for being "sex symbols", it might not be my path but I don't know their hearts, we all have reasons we do what we do. She has proven to be stronger than I could ever be and she has helped millions in the process.
