The Tiger Woods saga continues

This Tiger Woods mess keeps getting deeper and deeper, literally. Various media outlets are reporting that one of Tiger Wood's tramps (yes I said tramps), has reportedly issued claims of a giving birth to a 9 year old love child with Woods, a son to be exact. According to the Huffington Post article, porn queen(OMG.. is this really a title people are proud of??) Devon James stated she had their "love child" in 2001. Is she kidding? I mean, not many porn stars are known for their discretion so I find it hard to believe that Tiger Woods, the most famous athlete in the world, can have a child in secret with anyone, let alone a porn star. I know it was years before we were forced to hear the sordid details of his many indiscretions with other women but this is too much. These women will stop at nothing.

I'm sure if this child exists, paternity has certainly been established by now, at least I hope so. What does she expect to gain by releasing these statements now? Money? Fame? I hate when people use others, especially children, for their own monetary gain, it's just sick. I don't know how true this story is but if it is, I wonder do these people ever consider the consequences of their actions. Not only does this child have to deal with his mom being a TV "personality", now he has to deal with public scrutiny because his mom couldn't keep her trap shut.

Time to let go of the "old stuff"

I posted something similar to this on my facebook wall last week but I thought it warranted a second post so here goes.

Everyone holds on to "old stuff", including me, but I'm trying to train myself so this is how this post came about. I think it's important to realize that everything that happens to us does so for a reason. While we may not understand it at the time, the reason tends to reveal itself at some later point in our lives.

So, we have to let go of the "old stuff" since holding on does us no good anyway. How many new relationships will we ruin by holding on to past experiences. We have to let it go, not for the other person, but for ourselves. Whatever the person did to break your heart or negatively affect your self-esteem, LET IT GO. We shouldn't let others steal our joy. Bitter hearts block blessings, so heal yourself today and let whatever it is go.
