A lensography
I'm a lensmaster, webdesigner an oldest child, an eternal student, a former teacher and single.
Most of you know me here on Squidoo as lensmaster 'spirituality' - but I've also got a life outside my interests in spirituality (though perhaps that's not often noticeable). Anyhow on this lens I showcase my non-spiritual lenses and tell you all a bit more about myself.
[BTW the picture is of me jumping in a sack, in some sort of race at my first paid job as a teacher. I wasn't the best teacher they'd ever seen, but as you can see I did have a good time - some of the time.]
Where, When, How
We moved for a year to the United States when I was 12 - which is where I learned the basis of my English. Then back to the Netherlands.
Health, food, beauty
I'm actually not much of a fashionista, though I do try and look decent - but then, who doesn't. I am, I guess, a bit of a health freak, a vegetarian and I abstain from alcohol. Here are some of my health related lenses.-
Dealing with Alzheimer's - it's a family affair

[under construction while my grandmother sinks deeper into dementia] This lens is a tribute to a strong, intelligent woman who struggles with an unforgiving disease - and to her kids (my uncles and mother) who fight to keep her life as fulfilling as...

Red Cheeks - there is a solution!
-
I mean the cheeks above the belt... Mine are red, and have been as long as I can remember. Worse yet: they've grown more red as I grew older. I've finally found a product that works though: Eucerin Redness Relief. I knew it was working the first wee...
Eternal Student
I began as a Chemistry major - but quit because I wasn't getting the grades.
I went on to nursing school, where I failed on the practical side of things.
Then I became a teacher of math and chemistry. This is the first college after High School I actually finished - so I have two bachelors degrees from a teachers college. I tried teaching for three years, but found out that I'm not really cut out for that.
Next I went back to university to study the love of my life: religion and spirituality. I'm still there, hoping to get my BA degree in the summer of 2008.
Good causes: Amnesty International
But I may also end up making lenses on the environment (yes, global warming is real) and other good causes I believe are worth fighting for.
The lenses in this category will donate their proceeds to the good causes they are about - if the cause is listed for charity within Squidoo.
-
Amnesty International
-
Amnesty International is a worldwide movement of people who campaign for internationally recognized human rights for all. This lens gives information on human rights and recent campaigns Amnesty has.

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byLensmaster lenses
I became a webmaster almost by accident 10 years ago or so - and am now making a living as a webpublisher and webdesigner. I've made a few lenses to make my (and your) lensmaster duties easier.-

The New Introduction Module in Squidoo

Squidoo recently changed the Introduction module. It suddenly has an inbuilt table of content and a 'discovery tool'. This lens is about the ins and outs of these new features. Squidoo gives these options on all lenses, but the features don't show u...
On the Squidoo star-system
For squidoo members that means they did not think the lens was interesting enough to vote on. For non-squidoo members it just meant they couldn't vote.
1 star
Squidoo members who saw this lens DID think it was interesting enough to vote on, but they hated it.
2 stars
Squidoo members who saw this lens thought it was interesting enough to vote on, but they hated it.
3 stars
Squidoo members who saw this lens thought it was interesting enough to vote on, but they did not like it.
4 stars
Squidoo members who saw this lens did like it, but thought that it could be improved.
5 stars
Squidoo members who saw this lens loved it.
I'm not sure there's a difference between voting 1, 2 or 3 stars. It probably depends on things like the weather and the personality of the squidoo lensmaster whether they give 1,2 or 3 stars to a lens they do not like.
