Robert Lockwood Jr
This week, the RocketMoms' third project for Session 5 is "The Music Lens." In a team-up with the Squidoo Music blog, this should prove to be a lot of fun!
Today, a lens that qualifies for writing as well as for a music lens on the RocketMoms Music Lens Plexo (Friends of RocketMoms) is from Drifter0658.
If you want to be inspired to build a music lens, the lens, Robert Lockwood Jr, is all you need.

Purple Stars
With a total of seven purple-star lenses, Lensmaster aj2008 has something to smile about and be proud of. Her new lens, Purple Stars, takes us through more than a journey of those lenses, though. She's added a debate about whether or not the purple-star program should be changed to a selected committee of our peers. Join in. And while you're there, list a lens of your own that you'd really like to see receive a purple star. Someone may see it and just might nominate it.

Making Sense of Monotropism
Lensmaster KarenTBTEN gives us a view of her inner world in Making Sense of Monotropism.
No horror stories are related, but it reminds me that there is so much we fail to see when observing people. We wonder why normal-looking children fail in school. We assume willfulness or laziness. Yet, more and more, we are finding that there is no "normal."
Inside the body, are stories to tell, but some parents cause more harm than good by refusing to see their child as anything but healthy and whole. Willful and lazy, yes, but no gene mutations or missing chromosomes. Children can't articulate, and so they grow up up having learned that it's their own fault.
Some children grow up and can explain their reality. Lenses like Karen's help us see within.

Life As A Foster Child
Today is a shout-out for her Life As A Foster Child. It's illustrated well with family photos and various artworks. Her words mesmerize. She brings you the reality of her childhood through the eyes of the child that she was.
In an interview I did with her, dc64 told me that the lens that she most wants the world to know about is "Probably Life as a Foster Child, because it may help the adults understand what goes on in the mind of a child who is in that situation." Well, I sure would like to think so, yet I can't help wondering why they might not understand already.
Read it if you haven't yet. If you have read it already, give it a visit and and click on one of those social buttons at the top to share it with others.

What I Learned While Being Homeless
The message is clear. We are all human beings. And we all have been dealt a different hand. Whether it's Asperger Syndrome or losing a leg in a war or even perfect health, we all are who we are, no matter where life takes us or what else the journey brings.
Lensmaster Kylyssa takes you into the heart of homelessness (from her own heartrending viewpoint) and lets you see not only how society makes it worse but how society can make it better. Read What I Learned While Being Homeless. This writer teaches empathy with eloquence.
It's such a waste of time to judge others when we could be in their situation, whatever it may be, but for that one card being dealt. So much wiser to count one's blessings and move forward holding someone else's hand so that they, too, may be blessed in some way for your efforts. It's so easy to be a help. It's so easy to stop judging and know, really know, that the homeless are our brothers and our sisters.
And our nation's children. One in fifty children are homeless in America. That's 1.5 million of our innocents! (The Full State Report Card on Child Homeless in America). And while I'm writing this, if you can afford it, in these hard times for all of us, bring a light into a child's eyes, give them some comfort by Making and giving a shoe-box gift for children in need across the United States.
To read What I Learned While Being Homeless and not gain at least that much from it is to remain in the mire of self-defeat and self-righteousness. And while it's still a new year, let's state again our goals to grow and learn. To be more human.
Kylyssa has written many lenses on the topic of homelessness, all worthy of your time.

New At Squidoo Lens Reviews In 2010
Update: A continuation of these efforts to showcase quality writers has evolved into a move to WordPress. See more here.
As the new year has moved into its second week, I've finally gotten around to making some changes here. The site is cleaner, has a new logo, and just generally feels better to me. More like a serious blog. I hope you like it.
The most important change is going to be in the lenses I promote. As my work online has increased, so has the time I have to spend with the blog decreased. I don't want to stop the blog, by any means! I've promoted around 500 lenses so far, and I'd like that to continue. I think I even reviewed a lens twice! Yes, after so many lenses, one can forget these things. But, I digress. Let me tell you what I'd like to see on the blog this year. I'd like to see nothing but top-quality work from top writers. And who better to tell me where this work is than you as you run across it?
Here's how: Discover a lens with great writing and send email to lenses at growwear.com with just the lens link. Quick, simple, fast. You don't have to say how much you love the lens or anything, just copy, paste, hit Send. If I use it, you'll get a referral link to your lensmaster bio page.
I am determined that if I don't see anything to promote after a 30-minute search each day, I will not blog that day. And I am on a five-day roll here, so your help in leading me to the best of the best writing and lensbuilding on Squidoo would be invaluable — it would save me time, ensure a daily lens, and get you a referral link.
And that's how I propose that we help each other out this year. Would you? Could you? I sure would appreciate it!
