Squidoo set a task for its many Squidoo Angels today. Bless 20 lenses on Valentine's Day. Each lens blessed would receive extra "Cupid Kisses" points, and the Angel could even find themselves being rewarded at the end. I spent about 6 hours today looking at and for bless-worthy Reiki lenses, and when I exhausted that topic, I looked elsewhere for other spiritual-related lenses.My same high

Let's talk about Joan4, AKA Joan Adams, Moonvine, and SquidJoan. As I started to look at the work Joan has done around Squidoo for herself and for others I was immediately struck by how much Joan personifies the connections and networking we can create there with other people. I was continually amazed by the work she is doing. Why does Squidoo work? It works because of people like Joan Adams.

It's been months since I updated, and so much has happened.I decided to go for the Giant 100 club at Squidoo. At the end of September, I had over 120 lenses.I was absolutely thrilled to find that I'd made it. I'd been selected. It is indeed a great honour to find out from others that they too think I have over 100 spectacular lenses. I work hard on every lens I write to make sure it it good.In

I am absolutely thrilled! I made it. I am now a Giant Squid.I don't think I could have done it if I had not been part of the RocketMom program. I cannot begin to tell you how much help and support and encouragement I got from all the women there.Not to mention the lens ideas and the urgings to step a bit outside of my comfort zones when it come to writing.All my thanks to the Giant Squid

I am very hopeful that I will be granted Giant status, but of course I won't know for certain until I receive that email saying aye or nay.These past 3 months I have been on a lens-building frenzy.

I cannot thank enough all of the people who have helped me to achieve this high ranking. This lens is now sitting at a ranking of 278 of all the lenses on Squidoo, and at number 4 for all non-profit and volunteer lenses.Any time someone spends time looking at Make a Breakthrough in Breast Cancer Research or buys any product being sold through Make a Breakthrough in Breast Cancer Research, they

I have an idea for a long series of lenses. And A to Zed of herbs. Are there any herbs that start with Z? I'll have to check.I also want to continue my Women I Admire series. I've asked me mate Tina if I can feature her on one of these. So will get that sorted as well this week.Lens 51 was completed yesterday - 'Achiote-roasted pork with pickled red onions'.We served this dish last Yule when we

GreekGeekThis gal is a whiz when it comes to creating CSS and HTML code. I couldn't even tell you what the difference is between the two, but she has got it down! It is thanks to this gal my lenses are becoming as good as they are today.I especially love her lens: Make a Fancy Table of Contents. I refer to it any time I make a new lens these days. Not only for the TOC information, but for the

In my quest to become a giant squid I have done it. I have now published 50 lenses that I think are all really good.Not that I'm done creating, but it feels so good to have passed that milestone.http://www.squidoo.com/apple-dessertsHere, I have spotlighted 3 apple desserts that I like to make. An Old English Apple Pie - that is more of a cake, an apple crumble, and a deep-dish apple pie.I've also

The Giant Squids are a special group over atSquidoo. These are the people who have created at least 50 quality lenses.Giant Squids have shown themselves to be dedicated to writing good lenses and this is a way of rewarding them.When I learned about the program I knew that I too wanted to achieve this goal and wear that giant Squid badge. New Giants are chosen 4 times a year and I knew I would be
