Writing a New Story

I came to Squidoo in September 2009, simply because a friend told me about the site. In that short time, it has been an amazing journey. After a few visits to the forums, I learned there were Squid Angels. I will never forget the first time I saw "blessed by an angel" in the comments section of one of my lenses. I was in awe, thrilled, excited, and my entire family heard about it all day long. I was humbled that one of these "giant angels" (which is how I saw them) would even stop by my lens. In December, I saw a call for volunteers to be angels here. I have had such an amazing experience with Squidoo that I saw it as a way to give back to the community, so I volunteered and hoped I would be selected. I was so pleased to get that email that asked if I was still interested, and so here I am.

Believing that life is all about the stories we create, this lens will follow my story of my time as a Squid Angel. I plan to share with you all of the lenses I have blessed during this term. We have an amazing community here at Squidoo, and I look forward to getting to know more people. I hope you will stop by frequently and see the awesome lenses I find!

How does a lens get an Angel blessing?

There are a lot of lenses here that tell you what to do to get an angel blessing on your lens. There are, of course, the normal things such as replace the module titles and don't use the defaults, and follow the policies here at Squidoo. For me, those are the basics. I don't plan to post a list of things to do for myself because what I hope to see are simply great lenses. My background is writing and words, so I do hope to see great content, and be sure you spellcheck those lenses! :)

Remember that lenses are about providing something of value to your readers. Our community is about giving something to people that helps them, that makes them feel good, yes, sometimes even something that gives them an opportunity to buy something.

I love lenses that tell a personal story, lenses about animals (one of my passions), and lenses that teach me something.

Lenses Deserving of Their Own Section

Every now and then, you come across something on Squidoo that speaks to your heart. sometimes that's a story about someone, sometimes it is a story about a charity, and sometimes it's just someone sharing their own personal story about how life happened to them. This section will showcase that kind of a lens and give it its own special place for awhile. Please DO take the time to read this as I am sure it will touch your heart as it touched mine.

Newest Blessings

As I have worked on this lens, I want to be sure you don't miss something that is truly awesome. I've created this section so that I can highlight lenses as they are blessed, and after a time, will move them to the plexo below. Be sure to visit them as you will find some great stories and good examples of how to build a lens. Be sure, too, to come back often so you can see the new things that are added, and vote for your favorites in the plexo below!

My Tribute to Angels Who Have Blessed my Lenses

The wonderful thing about Squidoo is that none of us does it alone. I have been fortunate along the way to receive blessings from some of our wonderful angels here. This section is just to acknowledge them and say thanks. Thank you, to each and every one of you. Your work as an Angel inspired me and encouraged me. It means more than you may ever know.

Who are the Current Squid Angels?

I am honored to be a part of this group and thought you would like to know who the current angels are. You can visit their profiles and check out some of the great lenses that they also create.

Squid Angel Lenses

Some of my fellow Squid Angels are putting together lenses that show off the lenses they have blessed along the way. You can take a look here and see what they are finding. There are so many awesome lenses out there!
