Angelina one of my role models.

Us magazine published an article titled "Angelina's Twisted Double Life" that really made me sad. First, Angelina Jolie has a multifaceted life. Claiming she has a double life is like mistaking a diamond for piece of glass. She balances so many facets no ordinary person is willing to take on. It's no small job to be an ambassador, care for children, manage a marriage, manage the media, be elegant and beautiful, and maintain an amazing posture through it all.

When asked about heroin she said "...I've been fascinated by it. I'm not immune, but I won't do it now, at all." It's courageous to display vulnerability and choice in a statement like this. Often times she speaks and I don't think people can hear the strength and equanimity. She was quoted when picking up pax from the orphanage "Photographs make him upset.I'm sorry for bringing this into his life.". Here she shows care for the child and takes responsibility for what the paparazzi is doing. She didn't say "I'm sorry you a$%ho$%es won't leave us alone". She's fully aware that the paparazzi are a machine and not ever going to go away. She also appears prepared to teach pax about them.

She's intent upon exploring motherhood, in her own fashion. The last thing any mother would want is to have the media evaluating her choice of family design. Considering there is no good yard stick for family design in today's media, I'd like to see how she does. There seems to be a trend towards having children later in life and that creates issues when you have one and find you want many. I think she's pioneering a beautiful design.
