"My Daughter" by Lena Headey

The UK's Daily Mail writes that actress Lena Headey - who many will know as Cersei Lannister in Game of Thrones - is expecting a baby girl in about six weeks. On the website of Plan International USA, she  writes a guest blog post entitled "My Daughter" with some very inspiring words for her future daughter. As she's a famous actress known by millions around the world, her words reach a lot of people. They reached me and hopefully, through this post, they'll reach a few more people.

"The ever-present abuse of social and human rights in our world keeps me consciously awake, grateful, and humble." 

I got to know Lena Headey as Sarah Connor in television series Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. She played the mother of John Connor, the young man who will one day lead the human revolution against the machines known as Terminators. Yes - that tough as nails Sarah Connor who stops at nothing to protect her son and with him, the future of humanity. While I very much understand that there's a big difference between actress and character, I can't help but see the actress as a strong woman who will always be there for her children, just as she was in character as Sarah Connor. Reading what she writes for her daughter only makes me like her more - as an actress and as a human being.
