On Top with a New Man in Her Life

Sandra Bullock is one of the healthiest people I ‘know’-- and I’m not talking about physical fitness, diet, disease, or the like.

The word ‘health’ (apparently) is related to the word ‘whole’, which makes sense since one’s health refers to one’s entire being—physical, mental, emotional, social, financial, spiritual, etc.

Despite the inflicted pains she has had to endure as yet another highly publicized sex scandal victim, America’s Sweetheart emerges sweeter than ever.

Bullock, who has been in hiding since shortly after her Oscar win in March, gives her first exclusive interview to People magazine (out tomorrow) since Bombshell McGee—mistress #1—came forth (for fame and fortune).

The article is not solely about the dissolution of her marriage, though, but the dawn of her new life as Mom as well.

Given her high profile status and especially at such a pivotal point in her life—career- and marital-wise-- it is amazing that Bullock managed to keep her adopted son under wraps for months. It says a lot about her character and how supportive and loyal her family and friends are.

She doesn’t even bad-mouth her soon-to-be-ex-husband, but instead praises him as a father, and even hopes Louis, her son, can one day meet/see that side of him she admired. Eh? She’s willing to let Mr. Infidelity into the life of her new little man?

Media and PR have praised Sandra for how she handled her situation.. and maintained her branding image. Which is when I remembered that, oops, that’s what it is-- an image, a story, meant to sell a magazine.

Nonetheless, I’m a sucker for good endings, cute babies, and Bullock since she was Lucy Eleanor Moderatz. And I believe there are things we can learn from Sandra’s (public/documented) actions. Celebrities are people too, after all.

So, if you ever find yourself in a situation that can seemingly destroy you (like being lied to, betrayed, humiliated, etc)..

• Step back.
• Surround yourself with support, positivity, and the people you trust.
• Breathe.
• Appreciate & focus on the good things, distance yourself from the bad.
• Don’t wait too long to emerge, and when you do, shine your strength.

Happy Healthy Juicy!
