A Home From Home For My Lenses

Come join me here and enjoy! I sincerely hope that you find my lenses useful and that they help you in some way. That alone would make me very happy :) 



I'm going to have to face it I am addicted to Squidoo!! When  I first discovered Squidoo I just thought I would do one lens on Back Pain and sciatica to support my blog.  I had NO IDEA how addictive (in a good way)  it could be!

I am gradually building up all the lenses i would like to write. I do take a lot of time over each lens. In fact each of my lenses has been thoroughly mulled over well before they ever get to be typed, on the bus going to work, at work(oops!), while cooking dinner, in the bath....you get the idea. 

I love being a Lensmaster :)

A wonderful thing about Squidoo is that you get to share any money you make with charity. Every lens I make contributes to the Squidoo Charity Fund and I also share some money to Dogs Trust UK and a Local Hospice for People with Terminal Cancer.

A Little Bit About Me 

I love dogs, and all animals, back pain interests, and self development.

Ilove all animals and have an especially soft spot for dogs and horses, chickens and manatee. I also love elephants and find Lizards and sloths fascinating and ...oh I could go on. I cannot bear cruelty to animals.
I love the countryside and the beach when I can get near one! I love being in nature and the outdoors whenever I can.

My work is with children with special needs which is challenging and rewarding all at the same time. I have found they have taught me such a lot.

My other main interests are around healing healthcare. I love to "give back" by helping others with information or experiences I have had with overcoming any health issues such as my back pain and sciatica.

I am learning Reiki and recently received my practitioner level 2 certification and am learning massage therapy as well.

I have long been fascinated by how the mind works and self help type books and training. I have read a lot and done a lot of research in this area and I have my fav authors in Wayne Dyer, Jorj Elprehzleinn, Dick Supthen and Robin Sharma.

Since my time at Squidoo I have seen many great lenses and met many lovely people. I have found this community to be very helpful and friendly and I am very glad I found it :)

I really hope you enjoy my lenses and if you find any of them help you then I am happy. I would love it if you drop by for you to leave a comment, I get very happy finding new comments in my in box!

My Back Pain And Sciatica Related Lenses. 

All about coping with back pain,sleeping with sciatica, lose the back pain system, stress and back pain and how to get back pain relief.

My back pain lenses came about as a result of my own personal experience of having severe sciatica in both legs, hip to toes and low back pain.

After struggling my way around the healthcare system, looking for information, advice, products, freebies, helpful hints, good websites to help me e.t.c. I eventually made a good recovery. However I know I will always need to take good care of my back due to the damage that occured.

So here are the lenses I devoted to back issues.

Back Pain Relief Lenses. 

Suggestions, hints and articles on how to get relief from back pain and sciatica.

DESIDERATA 

A Beautiful Poem and One of My Faves

Go placidly amid the noise and the haste,
and remember what peace there may be in silence.

As far as possible, without surrender,
be on good terms with all persons.
Speak your truth quietly and clearly;
and listen to others,
even to the dull and the ignorant;
they too have their story.
Avoid loud and aggressive persons;
they are vexatious to the spirit.

If you compare yourself with others,
you may become vain or bitter,
for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself.
Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans.
Keep interested in your own career, however humble;
it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time.

Exercise caution in your business affairs,
for the world is full of trickery.
But let this not blind you to what virtue there is;
many persons strive for high ideals,
and everywhere life is full of heroism.
Be yourself. Especially do not feign affection.
Neither be cynical about love,
for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment,
it is as perennial as the grass.

Take kindly the counsel of the years,
gracefully surrendering the things of youth.
Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune.
But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings.
Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness.

Beyond a wholesome discipline,
be gentle with yourself.
You are a child of the universe
no less than the trees and the stars;
you have a right to be here.
And whether or not it is clear to you,
no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should.

Therefore be at peace with God,
whatever you conceive Him to be.
And whatever your labors and aspirations,
in the noisy confusion of life,
keep peace in your soul.

With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams,
it is still a beautiful world.
Be cheerful. Strive to be happy.

My Animal Lenses 

I Love Animals

Iwrote my Lens about my gorgeous dog Goldie as a memorial lens for his lovely Life. He means so much to me, we still miss him all the time. There is nothing quite like the bond in a trusted friendship. I confess I laughed and cried all my way through making this lens...

My "Chicken" lens came about as a woman at work who was retiring told me she was going to buy some rescue chickens to look after. I started asking around and still surprised that people did not always understand about the battery farming system and the conditions many chickens live in. Also noone else I knew had heard about the organisations who do a legal careful and considered rescue of chickens, working with the farmers. So with a little research this ens was born. I have to confess I shed tears here too!

My Love For Animals, Birds And Nature 

Nature is wonderful

Goldie

Lens Of The Day!! WOW!! 

Lens Of The Day Tribute To Goldie.

On October 28th 2008 Goldies Lens was given the honour of being chosen Lens of the Day!

Goldie And Me. Life With A Golden Retriever

I am deeply honoured by this and touched and a little overwhelmed by the sincere and heartfelt comments that poured onto this lens and I want everyone to know how much I appreciate you taking the time and in many cases sharing your experiences.

I am gradually vsiting all who congratulated Goldie on Lens of the day and who left lovely messages and their own stories of the love of their furry friends. My thoughts are with everyone who is going through the time of difficult decisions and then grieving for a loved animal friend and I am glad for those of you whom this lens helped a little.

Sincerley THANK YOU.

Dog Charity in UK 

Dogs Trust

Dogs that need a safe haven...
DOGS TRUST
At Dogs Trust in the UK they never put a healthy dog down.

While many dogs do find good new homes some dogs are unable to be rehomed due to the the abuse and neglect they suffered in previous homes.

I sponsor a little dog there who cannot be rehomed due to the way he was treated by his previous owners. He will have a home for life at Dogs Trust.

If you are interested in sponsoring a dog there just click on the link for more information.

My Seasons lenses 

Matters of Health 

Wisdom teeth and Cystitis

Wisdom Teeth! I just have the one lens about Wisdom teeth! It was a cathartic experience to do this lens as I had just been through a difficult operation for my wizzies! So instead of getting phobic about wizzie ops I got educated and hoped it might help others.

Having suffered from my own inner Cystitis and learned a lot about it I just wanted to share some information, prevention methods and possible solutions with you.

Help For Interviews 

Succeeding at Interview

Hints and tips, suggestions, advice on body language, questions you may be asked and how to answer difficult questions and what to do after the interview.
I often interview as part of my job and hope this information will help somebody who perhaps is new to interviews or has not attended interviews for a while.

Wishing you success!

    Hi Jasmine Anne! You're right! Doing squidoo is very addictive although I don't have any finished lenses yet! it seems I can't make up my mind what to write first! lol! Have so many things in my mind. I want to write first about how I got into home staging business but later on, I change my mind and instead write something about my friend's site loaded with lots of dog checks from Doberman checks to Labrador Retriever checks . Then, one day, I would like to write how I got into Billiards and more and more and more! Anyway, your lens have given a idea what to start! Thanks for sharing!
