A Joyful Squid Angel - Now Retired

Ranked #5,372 in Squidoo Community, #359,783 overall | Donates to Friends of the Park

Joyful Angel

I was delighted to become a Squidoo angel in April of 2009. Delighted because -- I totally "in- joy" visiting lenses; I sincerely "in-joy" the Squidoo community; and I always "in-joy" any positive volunteer activity! This angel assignment is especially great fun!

This lens is designed to help you get more and more angel blessings from the Joyful Angel -- Me!

Aren't angel blessings fun?

Update: January 1, 2010 - This joyful angel has retired! I have had such fun blessing your awesome lenses! Thank you for your support!

Diving into My New Angel Duties on Squidoo

A Squidoo angel visits lots and lots of lenses every day. I am constantly flying around Squidoo looking for lenses to bless, especially in the categories of:
Squidoo Tips
Local
Animals and Nature
About Me

I am looking for lenses that make me stop and take notice -- the ones that I read carefully and delight in every word and graphic. I am looking for something beyond a normally very good lens.

Of course, the usual things will make me fly away very quickly -- so be aware
No bio picture ------- brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr I don't like that orange guy. Show me who you are!
No bio at all - certainly scares me away! I want to know more about you!
No intro picture -- I'm gone!
Spam -- I am severely allergic to spam.

Squidangel Notes

--A Squidoo angel blessing will give you a little boost in lensrank.

--I often fly by and bless lenses without telling you. That lens boost is a special secret surprise, right?

--I am not limited to the categories listed above -- but those are the ones I focus on.

--I want to bless your lens -- I like to bless lenses!!! Always leave a note at SquidU when you believe your lens deserves a blessing. Or leave a note on this lens. And don't forget, when you are visiting other lensmasters and you see a lens that you think deserves a blessing, tell us about it!

Does a Squidoo angel visit make you smile?

    You will always be an angel to me Joan and thank you for the inspiration you continue to provide!
  • WordCustard Jan 1, 2010 @ 3:06 pm | delete
    Oh yes, an angel visit always makes me smile! Thank you so much for both of your angel blessings but also for the kind comments and encouragement you've give me and undoubtedly many others. You really are a joyful Squid Angel!

    Lensrolling this to my new lens thanking the Angels of Squidoo, but wanted to say a proper thank you in person (well, in pear?) :) May 2010 be a year full of blessings for you, Joan.

    I had to visit Suisie's featured Squid Angel the second I saw it was the well beloved Joan4. This is a delightfully sweet introduction to your criteria for blessing lenses. You are doing the right thing by simply avoiding lenses you are allergic to, you are one of the sensitive folks that just cannot be in the presence of spam. I understand the issue completely as black mildew sends my off in the other direction. You apparently greatly "injoy" your angel status, I can feel your positive energy here and you do bring that everywhere you go. I hear you are also busy with talk radio. Blesssings on your head.

    I knew about a month ago that I would be featuring this lens on Tip Is...I Believe in Angels.
    The time has come and it is now featured for the month of September 2009.

    You are a blessing to so many....always have been since I joined Squidoo, even before you became a Squid Angel you were there for me, visiting my guest books, handing out stars and favoring my (not so great) lens. You are so kind and I really do love you very much Joan, as I'm sure many of us do.

    God Bless!

    Joan, thanks so much for the blessing you gave my "Love Labs?" lens! I'm guessing that you blessed my pet memorial lens as well. If so, thank you very much and, if not, thank you anyway for visiting and leaving that lovely comment.
  • Stazjia Aug 21, 2009 @ 7:41 am | delete
    My goodness, Joan, you're fast! I was just putting touches to my latest lens when I got an email saying you'd blessed it. Thank you so much for this blessing and the others. You are a great and fast Squid Angel.

    You're a wonderful angel.

    Hi Joan, the Angel Blessing I received from this Joyful Angel definiely made me smile and more :) I was surely blessed as I received your blessing and note today on my SquidSchool lens...thank you, thank you, thank you!

    I see from reading this lens that you take your Angel resposibilities very seriously and "in-joy" this special privilege. Blessed are those indeed, who receive blessing from this Joyful Angel.

    I'm fairly new to Squidoo and still have so much to explore around here. Thanks for the boost today, it gave me hope to continue building quality lenses and blog with integrity. I'm new to the blogging world and so am learning a lot as I go along.

    I see you've got many interesting lenses, which I will be definitely visiting as I explore Squidoo.

    Congratulations on your Giant Squid and Angel status and the Lord's blessing upon you and your family!

    Thanks once again!

    AJ :)

    Not only does an angel's visit make my smile, it makes my day. I'm never confident that my lenses are good so I'm really happy to get 5* and delighted to get a blessing.

    Thank you for all the hard work you do which I know goes far beyond blessings.
  • daria369 Jun 4, 2009 @ 11:44 am | delete
    An Angel's blessing always makes my day - and lately with all the lenses about inspiring people I made - every blessing also made that certain person cheer and laugh with happiness... :)

    Thank you Joan - for being an angel, this lens - and for all the blessings you give

    Joan hon, thank you for the Squid Angel blessing on Nikki Had A Baby! I am pleased that you shared in this wonderful blessing our family has received this week. Children are a blessing! I'm very happy that Cayden is healthy, and my daughter is feeling much better now. She was induced a week early for her health, so Cayden ended up coming out face first and did have a bruised face and swelling. I prayed for him as soon as I got him in my arms, I do believe in healing. The nurses were surprised that the swelling and bruising went down as fast as it did. He sure is a cutie-pie!

    To say thank you I am going to add a link to this lens to Tip Is...I Believe in Angels.
    I have been inspired to feature a Squid Angel on that lens each month. I won't know who the next Squid Angel will be in June until he or she gets put on my heart.
    It is a nice way to be able to give back to the Squid Angels on Squidoo. You folks really are a blessing to our lenses and do encourage us by so doing.

    Oh my goodness! I have finally found a Squid Angel who looks for Animal and Nature lenses! I have been looking for a while. You have said that you like lenses that make you laugh, well, I think I have one for you! If you have time, I would love for you to check out my lens about my three sweet kitties, and tell me what you think! It is guaranteed to make you smile.
