Lensography: Mary Sullivan

Hard to believe it's been only a few short months since I started messing around with Squidoo. I stumbled on the Squidiverse through Zazzle, where I collaborate on a shop, Karate Kat Graphics, with my 3 kids--ages 10, 10, and 12. At first I thought it would just be an avenue to promote Zazzle products, and that's certainly a legitimate purpose. But I soon discovered that was just the tip of the tip of the iceberg that is Squidoo.

Listening to more experienced lensmasters, as well as the SquidTeam, it seems a few key messages come up again and again. Write what you know, write what you love, write what you're passionate about. My lenses don't always have a ton of bells and whistles, and some are--by design--pretty compact. But they all relate to things I care deeply about, in one way or another, or things that make life more manageable and more fun. If you take time to browse the lenses below--and in that case, heartfelt thanks!--I hope you'll find a common thread of balance, intuition & common sense, with a little nerdy mischief thrown in for good measure.

Oh--and for the record, I'm crazy about sea turtles. A lens (or 10) on them is surely in my future :)
