...aka God's Grace Notes
God's Grace, written in many notes; in a book created just for me!
Well; I know that the Bible was written for all of us, but it's had such a profound impact on my own life, it makes me feel as if it were written just for me.
I'm passionate about my faith, my family, my kitties, good mental health ...and my crafting!
I'm a devoted disciple of Jesus, because I discovered that he really had a good plan for my life; and I found it in the pages of the Bible.
I love to write, draw, paint, sew....as you visit more of my lenses, you will discover that I love crafting as much as I love writing. I have more ideas than I could ever hope to accomplish in this lifetime; but I sure am enjoying the creative process! I have many interests and passions that provide the opportunity for me to write to my heart's content.
I discovered Squidoo in October of 2006, and I've been happily writing ever since. In fact, I've built so many groups and lenses, that I've been privileged to become a Giant Squid.
Take a stroll with me down Giant Lens Building Lane, and discover some of the ways you can use Squidoo to let YOUR voice be heard on the world wide web.
It's a Giant Adventure you won't want to miss!
I wrote my first story when I was 8 years old, but it has been in recent years that I've discovered that writing is not only a past time, it's a powerful tool for expressing one's thoughts and opinions. I've also discovered that once you find your voice, you can change the world with your writings.IF you can find someone to listen...
That's where Squidoo fits into my life. In the early years of my life, I was that invisible child who hovers in the background of everyday living, waiting for permission to do ANYTHING. As you can see, that's not the case anymore!
Writing has given me the opportunity to express myself, discover who I am, what I want to be when I grow up, and articulate the goals that I plan to accomplish once I get there.
I've grabbed my life by the horns, and I'm chasing my dreams....all the way to the rainbow! My life has become an incredible adventure in living, and I love it when my day to day activities intersect with other like minded individuals.
Squidoo provides the platform for me to do just that. Would you like to know how I learned to dance on rainbows? Then I invite you to follow me through my library of lenses, and discover why the Bible is my driving passion.
It's the powerful tool that filled my heart with peace and taught me about God's good plan for all of us. That's the foundation of everything that's written and created by yours truly... aka Giant Squid Connie.

Squidoo Offers Giant Opportunities For Working at Home
Lulu, Cafe Press and Zazzle offer endless possibilities for work at home opportunities. Visit my stores to get some ideas about how you can generate your own series of products to sell to your friends, family... and of course; to your fellow members in the community at Squidoo!
God's Grace Notes at Lulu
Freed From the Pain of Father's Day is my free digital download that tells part of the reason I have put my faith in the God of the Bible. I've been given a brand new lease on life because of the grace notes that have guided my path into the joys of a brand new day.
It's intense reading, but it's good medicine for the heart that has been wounded by the lack of a father's love, and the feelings of abandon, loss and betrayal that goes along with the harsh realities of growing up with an absentee father.

But, as days go by, my library of patterns will grow as I continue to indulge myself in my love for crafting, and writing!
