My Blessings as a SquidAngel & Beyond

Here is the lensography of the January 11 to February 10, 2010 SquidAngel blessings by ShamanicShift -- that will expand into a universal blessing and angel lens afterwards.

What a privilege and honor it was for me to receive SquidAngel wings for this first assignment!

I like the blue sky and shifting clouds in this picture, but I am not putting myself on a pedestal.

Of course, the topics of blessed lenses hint at what I count as blessings my life -- what I am grateful for, what I desire more of, even what I need most. This notion centers around the conviction that my needs and wants will naturally, cosmically (and, occasionally, comically) draw me to those lenses.

Living day by day, I find my main strategy of "blessing, no matter what," is a magic key that opens many happy successes. Another simple yet powerful boost is asking angels for help with anything -- in the moment, for the future and even for beings and situations in the past -- has brought many natural miracles to pass.

If I do my job, there will be at lease five new "blessed by SquidAngel-me" lenses to add here every day for a month or so. Except for the first day, when I received my wings in the evening and got a late start and any extra-full days that challenge me, I hope to SquidAngel-bless more.

I am having fun here, because blessing is one sure way to restore fun to any situation and angels are always present to help bless anything.

Do Angels Wonder?

Maybe an angel is wondering when someone will ask for help!

Raphael's wondering angel is set against a sky blue background in an antiqued silvertone metal and accented with two simulated light-sapphires and one marquee shaped simulated dark-sapphire crystal.

Be A Blessing Angel

1. Imagine your WINGS...

2. Stretch out a hand to receive blessings from the Source...

3. Stretch out the other hand & beam blessings...

4. Rotate full circle, beaming...

5. Spiral the blessing hand above & below, too!

This is one way, for whenever.

Amid a crowd? Secretly, imagine this.
