Blessings
I have......from all the different walks of life that have left me a comment in my guest books. Researching, Designing, Creating, and Writing about a topic that is important to you, and then publishing it on the internet leaves you open to a reader's criticism or blessings. This page highlights some of my most memorable blessings to give you hope that you also can touch other lives with your writing.
Count Your Blessings
Doing So Instills Gratitude
I've had this lens in the back of my mind for about 6 months. Please understand that I didn't make this lens to 'toot my own horn'.
My desire is to display just a few of the many blessings I've received.....simply to show you that YOU are important, and that I'm very grateful. I'd like to thank each and every one of you that has ever commented on my lenses.
YOU can make a difference in a person's life.
Simply with a kind word or two.
Think about it for a bit. Did you receive a comment on one of your lenses that brought tears to your eyes?
Have you received a comment that made you think 'yea, that's exactly why I made the lens!'?
"Hi Deb,
Blessings to ya"
What's Your 'Journey' Like?
"I am sooooooo proud of your lens on the Bible Audio book. It so touched my heart. Luv ya kiddo"
Hiya Deb!
Thanks for checking up on me. Been in a lot of pain lately, so the 'puter has been hard to sit at. Doing a little every day now, till the pain is too much. Hope to see you in the chat at some point.
I think that it is great that you do all that you even though you are handicapped - don't let a diagnosis define who you are!! I take care of 2 handicapped brothers with a rare disorder as a private duty nurse, they don't let anything keep them down. You can do anything you put your mind too. Thanks again for for info and encouraging words and pictures of your garden/yard are an inspiration! God Bless!
I promote you to be a best gardener :) Thank you for Horticultural Therapy information too. Thinking that it might be useful for my grandma that starting to have seniors problem and sit back in a wheelchair. Last time, I read the article about role and tips on choosing a good wheelchairs for my grandma, and now I know a therapy for my beloved grandma.
Do Your Lens Topics Represent The Real You?
When I started at Squidoo a year ago, I didn't think I would make more than one lens. I was happy and very pleased that it was so easy to make My Flower Garden lens.
Then I started getting 'angel blessings' and heart-felt comments on the lens, which bolstered my self-confidence, and made me realize that I really could touch someone else's life from my little corner of the world.
I thought that I could 'try one more time' to resurrect my fledging attempts to market the natural medicines for dogs products that I so firmly believe in.
So with the determination and goal of 'helping people', I dug into what little content and information I had saved, and thoroughly researched each dog health problem. It did not matter if a viewer bought anything from my page, I wanted to give them convenient informed knowledge, so that they could expand their minds with possibilities.
Hi Deb,
I belong to several local dog clubs: Putnam Kennel Club, Puli Club of America, Portchester Obedience Training Club, The Good Dog Foundation and Delta Society. I'll pass on your lens info. Stop by and check out our lenses occasionally for updates!! Thanks for the educational material & help!
Thanks so much for doing this lens on dog worms. I will pass your lens along to everyone I know who owns a dog. Great job.
I wish every dog owner would read this. Such valuable information and so interesting how much we and our companions may have in common.
I'm reluctant to go to my local vet because every time he opens his mouth, I get the impression of a slot machine, and his eyes seem to roll until the £££ signs appear! (I'm sure I can hear "kerch-ing" like a cash register between every other syllable!).
I don't mind paying the vet if necessary, but maybe you may have come across something like this which will spare me the pain of opening my wallet!
My poor boxer had terrible seizures when she got Valley Fever. She was on Pheno and Potassium Bromide daily. I didn't know which was worse. The disease or the cure. The battle was lost and I had to send her to the bridge 4 years ago. Thank you for putting this information together.
Listening
With the underlying goal of 'helping people', I found that entailed receiving lots of emails!
Through my 'listening', I realized that God was giving me the opportunity to positively touch others, and prayerfully make a difference in their lives.
To do so may be surprising, when you realize that sometimes the smallest kind gesture has been noticed and appreciated.
To create the dog health lenses, I knew that I must stay open and honest, hiding nothing. The company I firmly believe in is best known for their natural/herbal products for people's health. Their pet health products are just a small part of the company.
When I finally decided to tackle 'people's health' problems by creating lenses, I knew that it would compound the responsibilities. If I wanted to be taken seriously, I must be able to present my detective work (research) with no Phd. or even any college degree to back me up, and answer more emails.......no matter what topic was sent to me.
Hi deb
id really like to thank you for even looking up the insulin for me,no has ever bothered to help me as much as you, id like you to know you have helped me so much more than you'll ever know, and I thank you with all my heart as you've have actually saved my life the whole thing with the insulin is to eat less fat,sugar and lose excess weight and have a very lo calorie intake as I find that hard to do im going to have am operation called gastric banding for long term help, once again thanks
Very cool Deb!!! I completely understand. Wow, you really are an expert at this. I want to thank you for all the time you took to answer me. I hope you didn't put yourself out too much on providing all this brainstorming. I do LOVE smart people! Again, thank you so very much. This was great.
I have no RSS feeds in any of my lenses. Because I don't know how. Have you done the RSS feeds before? And what would you suggest I do first? Thank you Deb, and thank you for your kind words.
"Gosh, you have no idea how you have just made my day."
My God Continously Guides Me
He's your God too!
I cannot choose the path
That you must venture to
Let your heart take the lead
In whatever you pursue.
You are my child, my treasure
It's difficult to let go
Although your journey will be long
I must let you grow.
If the journey weakens you
Because of it's demands
I'll be walking by your side -
Reach out and take my hand.
If you ask I'll promise
To walk with you to the end
But my love will be steadfast
As you round the bend.
I'm very proud of you. It isn't easy to take a stand, and as the world gets worse and worse, we'll be called on to do it more often! But Truth is always on our side!
Deb,
Your page is very peaceful and inspiring, as are you. Beautiful photos and quotes. Thanks for taking the time to be a 'disabled old bat' researching and sharing for the rest of us!
EXPECT Success!
On your profile intro. You describe yourself as a disabled old bat? Seems harsh? I see you as a wonderful sister in christ with a heart for sharing :-) I personaly think you should change it? I want to pass on your herbal medicines page to my freinds,But not until you change your self worth description sis :-)
Our Lord Can Use Anyone and Anything To Get Our Attention
My mother has suffered from depression for as long as I can remember. It is so misunderstood. Thank you for putting your personal views and beliefs in this lens - it should be an inspiration to others.
VERY good information. I don't think that most of our population knows that natural medicines are powerful medicines without side effects. Good job! 5 stars from this herbalist/reflexologist.
Take care Deb, and remember you are one of the elite. It shows every time you publish a new lens.
Psalm 91:11
When I see good Christian people struggling I can get a tad upset. But then I remember God is in control, and he has a plan for them, and you. Perhaps it's to be a comfort to others. I don't know. But I know his plan is the only one we need. And it doesn't include harm. Only love.
Dear Deb,
Thank you most kindly for your generosity! May you reap what you sow and let abundance and prosperity flow into your life :)
Back To My Love Of Flowers and Gardening
after creating many lenses, my attention has repeatedly returned to my first lens
My Flower Garden, where all my Squidoo blessings started. Now that I've accomplished the dog health, people health, and their 'tie-in' topic lenses, I feel that I can return to my love of flowers and gardening. Until God whispers another direction.
Wow, this is one of the rare, truly beautiful lenses on Squidoo. Your garden is wonderful and it's charm has been captured so nicely on this lens. Your photos are amazing! Thank you for sharing such a happy, inspirational part of your life with us. I would gladly give you more than 5* if I could :)
WOW Deb,
You made me so happy with the email you sent. I just took a stroll through your garden its beautiful. My Mom and Dad spend a lot of time grooming there yard and planting flowers. Every year they have a beautiful garden we visit often. Its a lot of hard work and I give you 20 billion star for you beautiful work. I appreciate it!!!!
I love how you end your letter saying Gods Love and mine. I love that!!
Great photos, the beauty of a flower is precious. But the pleasure you took in growing and nurturing such beauty is life fulfilling.
"Dear Lord what a work, years of effort on one lens."
Many times it's best in life to just follow what is being spoken to your heart.......just follow..... without knowing the outcome.
I believe if you follow the direction given you'll eventually be blessed by seeing the purpose.
The purpose may turn out to be considered 'small' in another person's view.
The purpose may be a tiny little addition to a much larger plan that you won't realize for years.
The purpose may not benefit you, in man's point of view.
God may use your willingness to affect another.
It's now been 2 months since I've created this page...
I did have a bit of time to tend my flowergarden page, then God did point me in another direction.....to create the page below.-

Thank you so much for your visit to my trains lens. I loved your flower garden lens very much and if the proof is in the pudding, then your lens says multitudes about your gardening skills. You can rest assured I will be writing this spring with some questions on my own garden.
Hi. I just wanted to say that I love your lens. It is really informative, and the pictures are beautiful. Seeing your page reminds me of when I was in Boy Scouts hiking & camping. That is where I learned to gain a true appreciation for nature. Outdoors in nature always seems to put me at peace.
"Hi Deb,
It is always fun to get email from you, Because I always enjoy what you have to say!"
While I was checking out your lens I found info on headaches. My wife has been going to doctors now for two years and they can not seem to help her. I found that article on natural medicines and we will have to give it a try. I wish I had your talents by the way with creating lenses yours is great!
I wanted to let you know that i have added you as a featured lensmaster on quite a few of my lenses. I always add the featured lensmaster module to my lenses and your pages are just so unique that I love to feature you! I probably added you to at least 25-30 of my lenses!
"Thank you so much for mentioning me as your friend and also carrying my picture on your lens!"
Heavens Angels
Use Squidoo To Be An Angel On Earth
Squidoo has been a God-send to me, and has changed my life.
Follow your heart.
Listen to that 'still, small voice', and implement the wonderful platform we have here to do something good

You
Could benefit others with your knowledge, your personality, or your lifestyle!
God Bless you Deb - - LIKE you ALREADY! Let's see: Loves God, outspoken, passionate about life, business minded, loves pets and extremely smart - - you are my kind of person. Doesn't get much better than all that.
You have excellent lenses. The time and effort put into each one is obvious. The quality is outstanding. They are always so complete.
I am so impressed with how you and your garden started and what you have achieved with it from next to nothing. Very, very admirable. I imagine you have a herb garden too...for culinary and medicinal purpose? I am still browsing thru your site/s which will take time. Sooo much great information!
We would like to use some of your pictures for a slide show in our high school biology class. May we have your permission to do so?
Just a thank-you for the warmth I always find in any of your replies to me on the Forum - it is so encouraging! God bless you too and have a great day today.
I stumbled on Squidoo accidentally. Until today I did not know what Squidoo was but I have learned so much from many of you lenses. I think that God puts people in places at certain times. Thank you for all the info., not just on depression but the natural cures info also. I am a nurse (LPN) and even though everyone else tells me to continue my studies to get an RN I feel as if the direction I need to be going is towards "Natural/Alternative Medicine".
The Invitation
God loves you. His invitation is always present.
One of my favorite quotes is 'Your talent is Gods gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God' Leo Buscaglia
Here's my favorite link:
Now It's Your Turn
I'll be the very first to admit that I'm not perfect. Much to my chagrin, I don't always follow the right path!
But I do always ask for forgiveness when I've realized I've erred.
But Now It's YOUR Turn....

- Your lens is a garden of beautiful thoughts and images. I'm so glad to find a place of peace and love where I can stop and get refreshed and encouraged. Blessings are where we find them and sometimes God uses strange circumstances to get us back in His garden...where we should have been all along. Thanks, Deb. Back to working on my own new lens. Gathering ideas.
