Michelle's Got Moxie

Michelle (a_willow) has MOXIE. What is MOXIE? Well according to Michelle's blog, "Moxie is self possessed confidence. An attitude of fearlessness in everyday circumstances. The capacity to stand alone in favor of an unpopular opinion or course of action with a casual demeanor." I don't know about you, but it sounds like Michelle (a_willow) to me. Do you know Michelle (a_willow)?

Moxie - It's OK to STAND OUT! by Willowdesign

Michelle (a_willow)

A Moxie Girl!

Michelle is a remarkable person. She has a full time job, a husband, a little girl, she's a Squid Angel, a Giant Greeter, and Fearless leader of the Fresh Squid Group. She deals with all of this and still finds time to blog, make lenses, and create designs for her Zazzle Store.

Michelle always has time to help others and is so very kind to everyone. She's a wonderful person to get to know. If you don't know her, I urge you to visit her lensmaster page and her lenses. She is an amazing lensmaster and a very good friend.

Oh yeah, English isn't her native language, she's from Croatia, but you wouldn't know it.

Open Letters For Michelle

"Michelle,
I have always appreciated and respected you. You grabbed me up as a Fresh Squid and have continued to support me on my journey here on Squidoo. I have been in your group for the Giant Squid Challenge for two deadlines now and I am always amazed by the wonderful job you do. You always set such a good example and always set the bar high.Thank you for everything Squid Friend."
~Crystal (luvmyludwig) :)

"Wow... I've only just met Michelle but her warmth and kindness shines through her messages! Looking forward to getting to know you better, Michelle!"
~theraggededge

"Michelle,
I really enjoyed being on the Wiwon team with you. You had a new challenge or insightful post everyday. Not only did you get us to rally around each other, you inspired us with your honest words and unexpected comments of enouragement. Thank you for helping so many squids reach for Giant status. You are truly an icon here at Squidoo."
-Jessica (j_barnhart4)

"I have been so grateful for all the encouragement both Michelle and Katherine have given to the WiWon Team and also to myself. I feel like I have learned so much about lens building and html that I would never otherwise have even dreamed of. I know there is still a great deal more to learn here on Squidoo but with this encouragement and guidance we have all benefited so much! Thank you both!
~Lisa :)"

"Michelle is one of a kind. There is no doubt about that. She is a go-getter that doesn't let anything stand in her way. GO MICHELLE!"
~ Veronica Bright

"Michelle, if it hadn't been for your persistence and friendship this run for Giant may have never happened for me. Thanks to you, in ways you may never even know, my life has changed for the better and I think I am on the right path now."
~ Holley

"Thank you for everything Michelle! I made giant, and then three months later Giant 100 both under your care. Just think of all of the new giants you have mentored into this world, and I know you will lead many more.
Thank you for guiding us through!"
~Boshie

"To Michelle:
In a world full of followers those with true leadership skills are rare indeed. Michelle positioned herself as our fearless leader through two Giant challenges now, and she has proven over and over that she has what it takes.
She has encouraged us, and even gave us a little push when it was needed most. When I have faced personal problems she was the one I turned to, and she always had an encouraging word for me.
Michelle even introduced me to Crystal with the prediction that we would make wonderful friends, and her matchmaking paid off in one of my nearest and dearest friends.
Thank you for everything you have done for us Michelle, We may be giants... but you are the reason we are here!!!"
~Ayngel

"I'm going to reiterate a message that I sent to Michelle earlier today.
Michelle,
As we wind down this challenge, I wanted to take this time to send you a note to say "Thanks". I feel safe in saying that I wouldn't have made giant if not for all the help and guidance you gave to me - and everyone - who participated.
You are one of the shining stars around here!"
~Thanks again,
Tam

"Thanks for your encouragement and support, Willow."
~ Kirt Baab

"Michelle has been a phenomenal leader and mentor. It's amazing how she is able to juggle so many things in her life. Bringing people together to create WiWon was another amazing feat. She knows how to spot good people bring 'em together to work towards to common goal. I've learned a lot from Michelle and being part of the WiWon team. I'm grateful to Michelle and the WiWon team! All the best to you Michelle and thanks from the bottom of my heart! :)"
~Anthony Godinho

"Michelle,

You are an inspiration! You somehow found a few of my lenses even before I discovered the WiWon Team. Thank you for being such a generous person and taking time to encourage the lensmasters of Squidoo. I will truly miss being on the WiWon team--you gave me a reason to visit my email to see what was up with Willow's Wonders.
Thank you so very much."
~Mickie G

"Michelle,
You are one of the smartest, kindest, outgoing, and determined women I have ever met on Squidoo or anywhere! You give of your self and it shows in all the wonderful things you do! Thank you for being an inspiration to me and the WiWon team! :)"
~Shannon (shajo)

"WOO HOO! Moxie indeed :oD Thank you, Michelle for all you did to ensure the success of the WiWon Team...you were awesome, gilr!"
~Jen

"This is a great tribute! I would like to share that I was on Team One during the last Giant Squid Challenge and Michelle somehow found the time to visit some of my lenses and leave comments! She is awesome!"
~Cynthia V.

"According to hrworld.com the 10 qualities of a leader are vision, integrity, dedication, magnanimity, openness, humility, creativity, fairness, assertiveness, and a sense of humor. Michelle Willow embodies every single one of these qualities. I have learned so much from her. She is one amazing woman!"
~Kim Ort

"Beautiful lens Crystal, for a beautiful lady."
~MiMi GrowWear

"This is a wonderful lens. It's a great idea to feature someone like this. And, yes, you're right about the moxie!"
~Leanne Chesser

"What a wonderful tribute to one of our most beloved lensmasters. Angel Blessings to you"
~Alison Meacham

"Michelle- I could never adequately put into words how much your guidance has inspired me. I am eternally grateful for everything!"
~Kathy McGraw

"Michelle definitely has Moxie! She is a lensmaster that we all look up to. Great tribute to a wonderful person!"
~Bev Owens

"There are so many wonderful people on Sqiudoo who helped me as I got started - but one took me by the hand, opened doors for me, introduced me to people who gave me great opportunities. Her name was Michelle and I admired her immediately.
When I joined Squidoo, I was searching for something. At the time, I didn't know what that might be. Now, I do. Because of Michelle's selflessness, her unfailing support of those she tutors, and her ability to lead large groups of people in a common direction, I've been blessed with knowledge, new friends, and a path online that keeps me enchanted every single day.
I'll never be able to thank her enough. She'll never truly understand how much she's helped because it would take a novel to outline all the many ways she made a difference in my online experience but I do hope she knows that no matter how far I might roam online, I'll always consider Squidoo my virtual home because of her. Thank you, Michelle!!"
~Erica Stone

"Michelle, you are one of a kind and truly an inspiration to us all. It has been an honour to be part of the WiWon team and to meet so many great lensmasters as they made their journey to Giant and Giant 100. The team got me to 100 and I am indebted to you for the opportunity to help others to their goals."
~Katherine CaringtonSmith

"Michelle,
You made me feel welcome in the group. Thanks to you, Crystal and everyone else on the Squid team I made it this far and I plan to keep going."
~Gloria
