The highlight of watching the Juno awards last week was when KD Lang was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame, as a recognition for her lifetime achievement. She has a terrific presence, and voice, and used her acceptance speech to say important things. Rather than focus on herself, she showed gratitude for her family, and friends, and collaborators and supporters. She also showed gratitude for Canada, as a place where, in her words, a “freak” like her could have the career and success that she has had. She went on to encourage every person to be themselves.
I was so happy to be watching this with my 11 and 14 year old children!
Bravery and Courage are hallmarks of the human spirit, and I would think, the Holy Spirit as well. Proud of k.d. and of you for saying so!
