In the wake of Ruth Bader Ginsburg's
passing, I am reminded of the absolute
importance of heroes and sheroes in our
lives. We look to them. We are inspired
by them. They matter.
Having come for the 1950's era, heroes
were all we had. The nomenclature,
sheroes was nonexistent at that time. I
remember back to those who inspired me.
Walter Cronkite, Martin Luther King Jr,
John F. Kennedy . . . and now Barack
Obama.
But, who are the sheroes? Obviously,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg is in our hearts
and minds just now. Michelle Obama
and Malala Yousafzai immediately come
to mind. Turia Pitt inspires me beyond
the pale and Emma Thompson is a young
gal to watch . . . and Mother Teresa for
ever and ever . . .
This topic of hereos and sheroes bears
some thought. Me thinks 'twould be a
good idea to name them to ourselves.
We should pay attention! Who inspires
us? Who has made a difference in our
lives? Who do we want to be like when
we grow up?
And bottom line . . . what hero/shero
traits am I cultivating in myself?!
who are my heroes
a shero i want to be
way to help others
