I worked in a library for 20 years. It fueled my love of art, reading, religion and many other topics. My Squidoo lenses let me share favorite sites and focus on the positive aspects of an often negative world. http://www.squidoo.com/lensmasters/Believer Wed, 20 Aug 2008 22:20:08 -0600 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://www.squidoo.com/Believer "May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in your sight, O Lord, my Rock and my Redeemer."

You're not alone. The serious issues confronting us today are unprecedented.

At some point every person who was admired and turned into a celebrity disappointed us and let us down. Cynicism took over and we abandoned the idea of looking up to people for their brave or philanthropic deeds, for their brilliance, or wisdom. Today the only heroes we care about are cartoon characters who blow up their enemies to save the world. Hmmm. Sounds a little like real life, no? Perhaps, it's time to stop judging people for being fallible human beings just like us. Maybe we're finally mature enough to see their flaws and mistakes and still be able to admire the noble characteristics. This squidoo will be a reminder of heroes past. As it lengthens, I'll add lesser know people who deserve to be remembered and admired. people Fri, 27 Jun 2008 19:18:41 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/poetmaryoliver Mary Oliver is a Pulitzer Prize winner and one of the most celebrated and best-selling poets in America. people Thu, 12 Jun 2008 21:59:04 -0600
