In the Company of Angels~All About Squid Angels
One of my first lenses on Squidoo was Angelica. For as long as I can remember I have been interested in celestial beings...and I have had many angelic encounters.
Not very long after I made my Angelica lens, I was "blessed by an angel" which was my introduction to the beings here on Squidoo known as Squid Angels. From that minute on, I knew I wanted to be one. Giant Squid was a goal, and I was truly excited to receive that honor, but my most important goal on Squidoo was to be a Squid Angel.
On October 13th, 2009 I woke up to the announcement that I had been blessed to become a Squid Angel so my ultimate Squidoo dream had been fulfilled!
So this is my lens on the experience of being a Squid Angel. It is also a lens dedicated to the charity known as Soldiers' Angels, a wonderful charity founded to help the soldiers and families of soldiers who have done so much for our country. Both of my parents were in the military so the proceeds of this lens go to support Soldiers' Angels, a charity I am sure they would have supported.

Our women and men and families in the service of our nation need your support. Please help our citizens who have given so much have a better life!
Soldiers' Angels is a volunteer-led nonprofit that encompasses over 20 different teams and programs. They send letters, care packages, and comfort items to deployed American service members, and we support their families here at home.
What Does it Mean to be a Squid Angel?
Squid Angelica
The word angel means messenger.In the context of Squidoo this means helping Squidoo bring the very best lenses to the attention of the community and other online users because better quality helps all of us for many reasons.
And it means recognizing lensmasters for quality lenses to encourage them to make more quality lenses. This in turn helps us all too.
So for me that means any lens that I wish I could give more than 5 stars gets a blessing. Some lenses just stand out in one way or another and 5 stars doesn't seem like enough recognition.
Great lenses are a joy to read! And I have the joy of spreading the good news of their creation. Yes, I like my job!

Who Do I Get to Bless?
I have an artistic background, and beauty really matters to me, so first of all, a lens has to be aesthetically pleasing. I like lots of illustration, with posters, photos, large pictures. I also think it helps if the style of the images is uniform or complimentary. For example, if you use Vintage Posters in the beginning, it will look jarring to add in modern.I look for lenses where there is an interesting mix of modules and a flow to the story the lens is telling. Even sales lenses can have interesting content, and that matters!
If a lens is just a few modules with no pictures, I will move on. And if it is pure sales with no content, again, I move on. If I just want a sales page, I could go to Amazon!
I love lenses with video music at the top so I can listen while I look too! And if you make me laugh, your chances of a blessing go up! Also any lens about angels or chocolate gets a headstart just due to the subject matter...
For a Blessing, Make an Amazing Lens...

There are so many helpful lensmasters and lenses, that all your questions can get answered right in the community itself.I am listing some of the ones I have found extremely helpful for beginners on squidoo or the internet in general. All are by Squid Angels or former Squid Angels or lensmasters extraordinaires.

I stopped counting and keeping track of all the Squid Angels and their blessings on my lenses because as a Squid Angel I don't have a lot of time to keep track. I'm too busy finding and blessing lenses. But they all make my day whenever they visit and bless!

Amazing Lensmasters and Human Beings
The Squid Angel program has been redesigned, and now Angels watch over their own neighborhoods of lenses...that is lenses in a certain category, as well as fly by other ones and randomly bestow blessings. I am honored to serve in the company of angels who make some of the most wonderful lenses on Squidoo...and give of themselves freely to the community of Squidoo to make it a better place.

- I love the SquidAngel blessings, because I believe it inspires us to strive to better our lenses. The "pat on the back" is a wonderful ego boost too! Thanks for sharing this lens...it makes perfect sense to me.
