Hero of the day: Margaret Trudeau
This is the second time I've named Margaret Trudeau "Hero of the Day." She keeps speaking out, and we should be thankful for that. From Newsdurhamregion.com:
On Wednesday, the former wife of Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau was the keynote speaker at an open house hosted by Whitby Mental Health Centre (WMHC), where she discussed her battle with depression, the death of her 23-year-old son, Michel, and her quest for physical and spiritual treatment that has led her now to lead a balanced, happy life."I'm astonished that I'm here," Ms. Trudeau, 58, said. "Six years ago I was in a psychiatric hospital in Ottawa, very close to death, because I had been slowly starving myself. I was overwhelmed by the death of my husband, and previously to that of my child, Michel, and I couldn't stand on my own feet. I couldn't take of myself. I could hardly breathe."

Man oh man. Not yet 10AM and the hero of the day is already chosen! What hope is there for the more tardy among us-I always do my most notable work between 3 and 3:05 PM. Does sound like a purposeful use of her fame and I understand your choice.
