Tiger Woods's apology
Fascinating to watch the apology today from Tiger. I think I cried through the whole thing, not because I know him or care personally about their life. This kind of thing happens daily to us mere mortals daily and too often to say the least. There are few of us who haven't been affected by this sort of betrayal in some sort of way. Either our girlfriends or family members or ourselves have personally felt the sting of adultery. Some of us have even participated in some way. It is a horribly selfish sin and causes a damage that you can never really understand on a cellular level unless you have been a victim of it.
I have been disgusted by all of the media attention to something that has absolutely nothing to do with any of us and everything to do with his family and colleagues, but like an accident, I have had a hard time NOT reading the dirt like everyone else.
Elin is due all the credt in the world for handling this horrific crisis with elegance and grace when I KNOW she must be feeling everything BUT graceful and elegant right now. I am very proud of her for NOT showing up to the press conference today. Let him stand by himself! Let him ALONE take responsibility. It was, after all, He who alone decided to put his family in harm's way and it is he alone who should the crap, though realistically, she s taking an enormous amount of crap anyway.
But one question dogs me right now... why did I cry through his apology?
I think I know why, but I will ponder it a bit more later, but spontaneously I believe I cried because in a strange, sordid kind of way, he has apologised to us all who have been cheated on at some point. This was the apology one HOPED to get: heartful, emotional, taking responsibility, seeeming to actually GETT the enormous impact of what his selfishnss and sense of entitlement has caused, but didn't get.
Am I the only one who seemed to take longer to heal because the crappy apology we got did not include just that combination of humility and responsbility?? He should publish that apology as sort of a "How To" example of accountability. Of course, it was well planned and scripted, but DAMN, that kind of pain deserves that sort of formulation and thought.
If he gets it on the cellular level that he proclaims, I give him a good luck, forgiving hug which one hopes to inspire him to change the course he has been on. I pray for healing and resolution for Elin. It is bad enough to suffer alone, to do it publically must be completely devastating. For the sake of your family, I hope you can make it work.
...but the truth is, he doesn't deserve it, but we don't always deserve the love we receive, but that's what real love is all about. Loving despite..Loving anyway...Forgiving for your own sake and for the sake of other's healing.
Thanks for the proper apology in proxy. I needed that! There are alot of us who needed that.

Me and Torgny Melins
Yep! You guessed it! Had you been a psychic and said that I would be singing with these guys a year ago, I never woud have believed you, but Ican assur you that I had a blast despite the fact that the song wa in swedish. I am sooooo insecure when it comes to that and avoid it when I can because I never want to be misunderstood as being disrespectful for the language, but when sweetie-pies like Torgny Melins asks you to be a part of their (extremely well rounded) project, who can say no? Not me anyway, and I am sooo touched to have been asked and proud of the end result.
3 gigs and the final mix of Vi Kan Alla Göra Nåt
Trollhattan, Lönnsboda och Skultuna were really fun though I have still not changed back into my Night Owl schedule. I get tired around 1am and can feel how my body is begging to take me to bed. Is getting better, though. Such things take time to build up and wind down from. All in all, 3 terrific gigs!
I woke up this morning to having received the song that everyone worked on for the Haii project: Vi Kan Alla Göra Nåt. I felt priviledged to be a part of it and I hope it is well received. It sounds really good!
This week, we have a gig at Nalen. Lena Ph will be there performing as well, then a private gig in Stala and finally Bingolotto on sunday. Not only will I be able to contribute with my colleagues, but I have also been asked to sing Don't Cry For Me Argentina solo. What an honor! I have always wanted to sing that song, but have never had the chance. It is a tough one and I hope that it goes well.
