The Wind Beneath My Squid Angel Wings



I have been fortunate to have had many lenses blessed by Squid Angels and I was thrilled when I heard those bells tinkle for my earned wings.

Although the bells rang on Saturday, March 26th, via an email from Bonnie, I got off to a slightly late start. I found the message a couple of days after that during a weekly routine check-and-purge of my spam folder. (I am including this bit of info here so those who are on the waiting list for wings will not miss out by having the same thing happen.)

My first assigned neighborhood is Home Decor/Other and, as of April 25th, I'm also covering Gardening /Perennials, so most of my angeling will be done in those areas, with the exception of special duty quests (such as the April Fool's Day trip) and irresistably bless-worthy lenses I might find in other categories. Angels are allowed to bless lenses in any category, as long as the vast majority are in their own neighborhood(s).

Needless to say, I am honored and privileged to join this select group on Squidoo.

Special thanks to Steve for the Squid Art used in this module.

A Special Thank You to my Fellow Squid Angels

For Bestowing Blessings on This Lens

I could not move on to a second year of Wing-ing it on Squidoo without acknowledging the support and friendship of my fellow Squid Angels who have generously sprinkled this page with angel dust. You are greatly appreciated.

And I encourage you to visit their lenses as well. These are the experts and my role models -- and I can promise you that during the time you spend with each of them you will learn much, smile often, share a few laughs, and perhaps even shed a tear or two.

Winter's Angel Dusted Lenses

Squid Angels are no longer restricted to assigned neighborhoods, but we will continue to be particularly attentive to home decorating and gardening lenses.

Autumn's Angel Dusted Lenses

Around Our Neighborhoods

Ahh. Autumn in New York. Back to school, dwindling daylight, cooling days and cooler nights, the rustle of falling leaves in gold and russet, the faint scent of wood-burning stoves and fireplaces, birds (and some people) flying south. And Squidoo lensmasters back from summer vacations and creating a plethora of new bless-worthy lenses to brighten the season and its seasonal events. Here are some of our fall favorites:

Summer Blessings

July & August

Ahhh. The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer are here! We'll be taking a few vacation days, but will be vigilantly keeping an eye on our neighborhoods when we're here. The temperature may be higher, but we you will find these angel dusted lenses can be as refreshing as a cool breeze or summer rain, so check back often to see what's new.

Visiting and Blessing in the Recipe Neighborhood

During The Squid Angel Memorial Day Bus Tour Quest

Since I like to eat and cook, I decided to board the bus tour and spend some time sprinkling angel dust while gathering some "Must try" mouthwatering recipes from around the globe. It was difficult to choose from so many so I looked for variety although, admittedly, many of my choices were based on my own taste preferences and favorite flavors. All of the following are outstanding examples of masterful lenscrafting and deliciously tantalizing foods. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did and will continue to do as I personally try each one.

The Squid Angel April Fool's Day Quest

It was my pleasure to fly to another neighborhood and bless a bunch of lenses in Culture & Society! These lensmasters received extra points for the April 1st blessings and I had a great trip visiting and making new friends! (There are a few more - I was so enjoying my travels that I lost track of some! If your lense received my 4/1 blessing and you do not see it here, please contact me and I will add it to the list.)

    Time really does fly by very quickly when you are enjoying what you do. I think that once we find Squidoo we become addicted quite quickly so flying just seems to come natural here. Congratulations on 2 years on Angel-ing on Squidoo.
