My Purple Star Awards & My Thanks to Their Squidoo Angels

Ranked #3,773 in Squidoo Community, #287,166 overall | Donates to Room to Read

Mainly, Squidoo Awards Result When Its Angels Recognize Them First

Sunshine is fine.

But, a Purple Star shining on one of my pages at Squidoo is sunshine in my hand!

I'd like to shine some light on Squidoo Angels whose visits and blessings have put my lenses in the limelight. Without them a Purple Star would not be shining brightly where I love to see them most.

My Newest Purple Star Awards Are My Latest Prizes for Squidoo Excellence

A small tribute to the bravery and fine character demonstrated by Egyptians in the events of 2011. And, my trip to see the New York Botanical Garden's Tribute to Emily Dickinson

Robin, aka rms, blessed these lenses. Voila!! Thank you, Robin. Please join me in visiting lenses by Robin, aka rms on Squidoo. Another Squidoo Angel blessing that helped catapult "Emily Dickinson's Flowers" to Purple Star status came from imolaK. Thank you, indeed.

Robin is a "permanent angel" whose job at Squidoo makes her "nod" an important one and helped alot when I applied for this purple star. Thanks for all you do, Robin.

    I wish I'd kept better records of blessings received. I always try to thank Squid Angels, but sometimes the activity stream gets so crowded I miss a few. Congratulations on your purple stars!

    What a good idea for a page, Purple star angels, I love it! I have a lensography of my 25 purple star lenses, but never got around to doing one about the squid angels who blessed me, and after 3 years of Squidoo angel blessings, I could never remember them all, so too late. Let's just say that many many purple star angels have blessed me!

    I am just now finding this great contest lens so have added it the Squidoo's Summer Sunshine Award Nominees even thought the contest ends today. It has been wonderful. I certainly agree that those Purple Stars and Angel Blessings keep us going and that is why I wanted to thank you so much for blessing my Pendleton Happenings lens.

Emily Dickinson ~ the Angel on My Shoulder 

Dickinson: Selected Poems and Commentaries

Amazon Price: $23.00 (as of 06/04/2012)Buy Now

Helen Vendler is a long-time literary commentator and professor at Harvard. When I went to see her recently for a talk about this book, the audience gathered to hear her sat within a stair-step of archives of Dickinson manuscripts and family belongings.

Perhaps this added a bit of magic to Prof Vendler's descriptions to the standing-only crowd of her "take" on the poems.

This book is easy to read and is quickly becoming a favorite among readers who want to soak up Dickinson poems.
