What it means to be a Squidoo Squid Angel: Blessings to you, my dear!
This is the first instance on Squidoo that I've actually written about my Catholic upbringing in Cleveland, Ohio, and what an impact it had on my spiritual being. You see, it was the nuns and priests that I encountered in elementary and grade school who instilled in me strong Christian beliefs, particularly in Heaven and in Angels!
Then, after my grandparents all passed on it was in Lily Dale, a spiritualist community in Chautauqua County that I had my first spiritual reading. At that time, I was told that there were auras around me of two women; i.e. my grandmothers. They were likened to my particular guardian angels.
So, since my early days of schooling to today, I have had an appreciation for angels and take the role of Squidoo SquidAngel quite seriously! "Never treat such a blessing lightly my dear!"
Some SquidAngels are 'hoverers' ...
Is that such a word?
1. To remain floating, suspended, or fluttering in the air: gulls hovering over the waves or angels hovering over Squidoo lenses!
2. To remain or linger in or near a place: hovering around the speaker's podium.
3. To remain in an uncertain state; waver: hovered between anger and remorse.
As you can probably guess, I go for definition #1! And, being new in my role as a SquidAngel, I describe myself as a 'hoverer.' It also comes from my Marketing background and strong need for analytical research. You see, I don't like to jump to any conclusions but require lots of data and lots of research.
It's after I acquire plenty of empirical research -- look at lots of lenses -- that I feel empowered to bless them! No willy nilly, mindless blessing.
Here's such a 'hovering' SquidAngel ... it's really ME hard at work.
Some SquidAngels are buglers!
It's OK, but not usually the norm ...
1. Music: To sound a bugle.
2. To give forth a deep, prolonged sound similar to the bay of a hound.
There are some SquidAngels who will announce their visits and their blessings. Alrightee, I will confess that I have sounded the bugle a couple of times, but I must admit that I found some lenses which warranted a bugle blast!
Here's what such a SquidAngel bugler might look like in case you need an image on which to fixate:
Some, if not MOST, SquidAngels are humble!
Just 'cause I'm blonde doesn't mean I'm NOT humble ...
1. Marked by meekness or modesty in behavior, attitude, or spirit; not arrogant or prideful.
To have been honored with the responsibility of a SquidAngel, means that these select few members have the powers to bless those lenses which are indeed worthy of blessing.
Some SquidAngel guidelines ...
As presented by Megan Casey!
- Yes, we're considering a way to let lensmasters know when their lenses have been blessed or dinged. Right now they don't know unless an Angel tells them. Angels are free to communicate that (or not) in whatever way is most comfortable for them.
- Every SquidAngel makes a difference. If one Angel blesses a lens, the lens gets a small boost. If several Angels bless it, the boost jumps to a new tier.
- The idea is not to form a jury and drive a traditional consensus. That would be an entirely different program. Instead, the idea is to empower you as individuals.
- The Angels group is varied, by design, and I'm betting you'll each browse and bless (or ding) different lenses in a broad range of topics. Then, when diverse opinions from top lensmasters converge naturally in the same place, that's when something really special happens.
- Angels are not required to give editorial reviews of lenses that are posted in the Angels forum. But if they'd like to, they can.
- Nope, Angels won't ding lenses that are still under construction.
- Nope, LensRank doesn't affect your Google traffic or other search engine results.
- Yep, Angels are allowed to bless a few (not all!) of their own lenses. Hey, they're working hard for everyone else, they deserve the same perk.
- The coolest thing I've heard today is that Angels are doing so much more than blessing lenses... they're also adding those lenses to StumbleUpon, Delicious, rating them, etc.

What's that mean? Well, it really IS my blood type, but more importantly it means I've left you an "Angel Blessing" + 5 stars!
