Lexi didn't have any trouble thinking of her Top 6, which included history makers and pop culture icons, but surprisingly, the task was harder than I thought. I had to think about it for awhile, and then I came up with this list...<br /><br />*<a href="http://www.thekingcenter.org/">Martin Luther King Jr.</a> for his knowledge and wisdom.<br />*<a href="http://www.ladygaga.com/bornthiswayball/">Lady Gaga</a> for being such a powerfully positive role model.<br />*<a href="http://www.elvis.com/">Elvis</a> because, really, who doesn't want to be serenaded?<br />*<a href="http://abcnews.go.com/WN/DianeSawyer/">Diane Sawyer</a> for her journalistic advice and inspiration.<br />*<a href="http://ellen.warnerbros.com/">Ellen</a>, so we can finally meet.<br />*<a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2009/01/man-candy-monday_12.html">Stephen Colbert</a> because there's nothing like a guy who makes you laugh.<br /><br /><strong>Who makes your list, friends? Is there anyone you'd include that might surprise people? What would you serve? I'd be SO nervous! xoxo</strong><br /><br />P.S. Special thanks to Rachael and Becca for letting me guest post on their wonderful blogs this week. You can read the posts <a href="http://twenty-something-sherbet.blogspot.com/2012/04/collectors-club-polo-shirts.html">here</a> and <a href="http://iridescentindigo.blogspot.com/2012/04/tell-me-about-it-week-4.html">here</a>.

Well, in 2001, MTV producer <a href="http://www.benjaminwagner.com/category/blog/">Benjamin Wagner</a> spent the summer as Mister Rogers' real-life neighbor on Nantucket island. After Rogers' death in 2003, Wagner set out to learn more about the man who meant so much to a generation. He also wanted to dig deeper into some of the lessons Rogers had taught him that summer, including the idea that "deep and simple is far more essential than shallow and complex."<br /><br />The result was <a href="http://www.misterrogersandme.com/">Mister Rogers & Me</a>, an 80-minute documentary chronicling the life-changing friendship. "If I learned one thing during the making of Mister Rogers & Me, it was that nearly everyone has a Mister Rogers story," says Benjamin. "Everyone has a story of inspiration and impact."<br /><div align="center"><iframe width="400" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/TMXKs6OSrNg" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>How amazing is that? The trailer made me so excited to see the film. It must have been a once-in-a-lifetime experience -- a childhood wish come true! <br /><br /><span style="font-weight:bold;">Will you watch it, friends? Did you watched Mister Rogers' Neighborhood when you were little? What's your Mister Rogers story? I'd love to hear it!

It makes me feel like, little by little, those walls of stereotypes and misconceptions are being torn down. After all, remember the amazing <a href="http://melissabxoxo.blogspot.com/2011/10/people-with-disabilities-in-media.html">Mariah Slick</a>? So, I'm so excited to introduce a new feature today, friends: Disabilities In The Media.

The seven-year-old recently took home the Nicholas Maxim Award for her exceptional handwriting. This was the first time that educational publisher Zaner-Bloser Inc. offered the award to students with disabilities. As she was cheered on by her fellow students, Annie accepted the award on her school's basketball court. <br /><br />"Annie has always been very, very determined, very self-sufficient in dressing herself and feeding herself," says her dad, Tom. "She can ride a bike. She swims. She is just determined that there's nothing she can't do."<br /><br /><strong>You go, Annie! Have you read any stories about people with disabilities lately, friends?
