Not Just Another Blog - How to Make Money on Squidoo

In February last year, a good friend of mine sent me information about Squidoo. I signed up and looked at what I thought was just another blog. Then 15 months later, I took another look at it. I discovered that it is not just another blog at all. It is an amazing free community of Lensmasters who create quality content on a lot of interesting subjects. The most energizing aspect of the Squidoo Culture is the founder's pledge to contribute to charity. You can find out more about this amazing quest by going to the site and investigate for yourself.

You Can Contribute To A Better World!

One way you can contribute to a better world is to support those who are dedicated to doing that. Give them a cheer and let them know that what they are doing is important to you.

Another way is to speak out for yourself. Share your story, your knowledge, and promote the things that are important to you.

Find a lens that is talking about what you are passionate about. Find a lens that is contributing to your favorite charity. Or, simply find a lens that you really like and support them. Countless Lensmasters are continuously contributing to the Squidoo Charities and your support will help them to do that.

Create your own lens. You are the expert, and you know what you are passionate about. Build into the lens what you want to say, how your passion can make a difference in the world, and then tell people about it. squidoo is an amazing FREE resource that can help you to help charity

The follow is an example of just a few lenses I have created on Squidoo.
Visit my Home Page to see all of the topics in several topic categories including Spiritual Journey, The Arts and Creativity, Motivational People, Fitness, Business, and more.

Lensmaster Lensography - GypsyOwl's Homepage on Squidoo is NOW OPEN!

The community at Squidoo was so welcoming and helped me to find everything I needed to get started. My website traffic increased by 4 times what it had been at for over two years. All I did differently was spend a little time creating lenses about the things that I am interested in.

I wrote about what I wanted to write about, learned the best way to present my work (from the generosity of experienced lensmasters), and before I knew it, I have 10 lenses published and doing very well! I also have two more in drafting and will release them early next week.

Lensmaster Lensography - GypsyOwl's Homepage on Squidoo

This is my lens preview, there are many more lenses in drafting that will be released soon. Visit often for updates to current lenses and brand new lenses. This may be the last link you will ever need to find GypsyOwl. I have caught the squidoo addiction.

Here are a few of the topics that I started writing about for my squidoo lenses. I found out that it isn't as unusual as I thought to have so many different interests. What ever your interest is, you have something to share about it. You are the expert!

I would love to hear what you think of the lenses I have created so far, please drop by the guest books on each lense and let me know if you enjoyed the lens, if there is something you would like to see added or improved upon.

GypsyOwl is publishing at Squidoo

I am writing for Squidoo and have a few articles submitted. The term for article is 'lens' and I am learning a lot about online publishing! Please read on for links to my new work.

I do not know how to say

THANK YOU

enough!

Thank you all for your encouragement and nurturing of my artistic side over the past three years. It has been the inspiration of EVERYONE that allowed me to 'grow up' in my creativity.

A Very Special Thank You to SARK ,

SARK friends, Family, Co-Workers,

and honestly if you are reading this then this Thank You is for YOU.

How this came about: (the short version)
I attended a seminar last weekend about butterfly gardens. The experience of learning how to create a butterfly garden was such a spiritual journey, I simply did not come away with a real butterfly garden plan idea. My focus was on the life cycles of butterflies and how that relates to my spiritual journey. However, I was inspired to write and I submitted to Squidoo. Now I have a handful of lenses published! When you visit, please leave a note for me in the quest books that are on each page, and, if you have a moment to give me your STAR rating that would be wonderful.

Create A Butterfly Garden

You can visit this lens at

http://www.squidoo.com/createbutterflygarden

Since I didn't remember the actual 'how to create' the garden, I linked to some very good articles about it by other writers who I admire. My spiritual interpretations were leading me and inspiring me.

"Going With The Flow vs. Be In Your Flow"

and you can visit this lens at

http://www.squidoo.com/yourflow

I finished the last edit todayBoth of the articles are already receiving very good responses and lots of traffic. I am a bit overwhelmed but, very delighted!

I believe I have learned what I want to do when I grow up.

What do you think? If you really like it, would you please link to it from your blog or other places that you post ?
Please pass this on to anyone who you feel would welcome the invitation to visit my 'lens' pages.

Catching up about me:

I realize I haven't kept in touch - so here is a short blurb about what I have been up to.

I am going to be writing for Squidoo twice a week (on average). I am continuing my education which is my full time occupation until I am finished (BBA Degree -Graduation planned for January 2010), have a part time position -on/call ( office management - internship), and am enjoying creating artwork for my online gift shops. I also volunteer for the SBN a few hours a week. I believe that everything I am doing has prepared me for this monumental new opportunity. I cannot express how 'fun' it is to write, and then to have people 'like' it is the icing on the cake. I finally had the courage to move forward.

How are you? I'd love to hear from you!

GypsyOwl Is Zazzling

GypsyOwl's Zazzle Gallery is Open!

New artwork designs, new gift ideas, and you are going to love the posters, handbags, and the newest idea 'the tie belt.' I know it isn't a 'new' idea. I remember wearing ties as headbands and belts with I was in High School. But, what is new is the ability to make a personalized tie belt design that will be 'Just You.'

Visit the gallery today and check it out!

How about making a handbag & a tie belt to wear together?

There are a lot of ideas at my Easy Designs... lens.

Happy May Day

History of May Day

When I think of May Day, I think of baskets, of flowers, and of the little jingle
"April showers, bring, May flowers."

I think of the May Pole (children dancing with long streamers of silk string or ribbon), and after the dancing is done.. ohhhh look at the pretty designs that have appeared on the pole. Loving flowers, and abstract art, this day really brings to me a lot of creativity energy.

This is one of the things I recall from childhood (school days), we must have celebrated this . I remember making paper flowers and making cones from construction paper to make paper vases.

I have thought about the baskets of flowers on doorsteps. I wonder where I heard about this (it seems that I have tought about it all of my life , so perhaps it was in early childhood at school). I think we had a May Pole at school.

Please tell me about your May Day traditions, activities, and any other thing you would like to share about May, May Day , or About Solstice and or Equinox , about baskets of flowers on doorsteps, and/or any May Day or other similar holiday tradition topics are very welcome.

I would now like to dance around a May Pole wearing a long silk gown and singing.

May you have a delightful May Day, and may spring bring you joy, celebration, and new beginnings.

Somewhere Over the Rainbow

Somewhere over the Rainbow by GypsyOwl

I grew up watching The Wizard of Oz at least once a year since I was a little girl. This year I watched Tin Man (an original Sci-Fi Channel mini-series released in December 2007). I have watched it about three times this year and hope to have an opportunity to see it again, read the screenplay, and to nourish this thirst that I have for the deeper meaning that is hidden within this story.

If you have ever believed that everything would be better; if only you were in a different place, with different people, in different circumstances, you are not alone; perhaps you have also heard that ‘where ever we go, there we are’ which brings me to wonder if we are suppose to find that hidden place ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ or are we ‘suppose’ to stay where we are no matter what?

I have learned that we each have a ‘light’ hidden within us, waiting for the chance to brighten up every dark place, everywhere, no matter where we are. It is waiting for us to find it, to allow it to guide us through whatever our circumstance is at the moment or to guide us to wherever we are going on our path (our journey, our calling). We do not need to find the place ‘somewhere over the rainbow’ in order to use this light. DG’s mother said “The secret to finding it now lives inside you”. She had purposely hidden DG’s light so skillfully that even DG couldn’t see it herself. The light was hidden, the secrets were hidden, and the strength to walk through the darkness was hidden from her.

I realized that we are all like this; we have a light that flows through us. I wondered why our light was hidden; how it became this way, and when do we learn to let this light shine (or ‘flow through us’) to assist us in our lives right where we are or to guide us to where we are suppose to be?

Why is our light hidden? There are several possibilities for this; here are a couple of them.
1. Sometimes our light is hidden for us by our protectors when we are children. In the ‘Tin Man’, DG’s mother whispers the secret of how to find the emerald into her ear and uses magic to hide it there. In everyday life, the magic at work is love. Loving adults find ways to help children hide their light because they are protecting them from the darkness, allowing their light to grow strong before having to confront the things that they are called to transform. These efforts are well meaning. Yet we find a time in our lives when the protections that we needed as children are standing in the way of us reaching our goals as adults. In some cases, these obstacles actually affect our health and well being. We must find a way to let our light shine, to let it flow through us now.

2. Sometimes we hide our light from the world and from ourselves. I am sure there are hundreds of reasons for this. We may feel overwhelmed by the darkness (not always evil. Sometimes a circumstance that is more challenging than we are prepared to handle. Sometimes, the challenges that we are hiding from are not our own. Sometimes they belong to our elders and we protect ourselves from them while we are children) “Remember what it felt like, when you were a little girl, to have the light flow through you”~Ahamo, The Seeker (DG’s father)

We can dream of that special place ‘somewhere over the rainbow’, we can romanticize what it will be like once we get there, and we can ‘feel’ better when we are thinking about it. However, when we find out that the light that flows through us must find a way to brighten the place that we are at, or that the light will guide us to where we are suppose to be, then suddenly we are able to transform anyplace into the vision of that dream place that lies ‘somewhere’ else.
I believe that each one of us has a ‘light’ that is within us, that at some point may be hidden or we have found it and are learning to use it in our daily lives. My fondest wish is that each of us find and learn to use the light so that we will be better prepared to walk through our journey’s with courage, love, and wisdom.

May each of us have a Light Filled Christmas!

Healing Broken Hearts Group

New Group! Join today!
When my father died, it was very helpful for me to discuss my grief with others. Over the past year, I have become interested in providing a place where people can come together and offer support to each other.
Loss of a loved one who has died, or has left our lives in a number of other ways, can be devastating. When the feelings of loss are shared, we find that we are better able to cope and to learn to move on. If this sounds like you, please join the new group as we begin the journey to healing together.

My New Favorite Movie

The Lake House

~"This would be a great Valentine's Day Movie to watch together"~GypsyOwl

Actors: Keanu Reeves, Sandra Bullock, Shohreh Aghdashloo, Christopher Plummer, Ebon Moss-Bachrach
Directors: Alejandro Agresti

Amazon.com Review by Bret Fetzer

Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock pair up again in what could be described as the anti-Speed: The Lake House, a sweet, relaxed-paced, whimsical romance. When Alex Wyler (Reeves, The Matrix) moves into an unusual glass house on stilts over a lake, he discovers a note from the previous tenant in the mailbox--but no one's lived in the house for years. He replies and soon discovers that he's corresponding with a doctor named Kate Forster (Bullock, Miss Congeniality) who's writing from two years in the future. Their correspondence turns romantic and their paths cross in unexpected ways, but when they try to truly connect, danger looms. Though the plot of The Lake House sounds potentially static, the movie is skillfully structured and, despite some truly awful dialogue, will exert an emotional pull on anyone willing to embrace the device of the time-travelling mailbox. What the movie really demonstrates, though, is the genuine rapport between Bullock and Reeves; Reeves, though handsome, has a wooden presence--but in his few scenes with Bullock, his stiffness transforms into a palpable yearning. On-screen chemistry is slippery and hard to define, but these two have it. --Bret Fetzer

Product Description: The Lake House on DVD

A lonely doctor (Sandra Bullock) who once occupied an unusual lakeside home begins exchanging love letters with its newest resident, a frustrated architect (Keanu Reeves). When they discover that they're actually living two years apart, they must try to unravel the mystery behind their extraordinary romance before it's too late.

Favorite Movies

I am thinking about my favorite movies this morning and I have gathered some information on a few of them. Something about chilly days and long nights that makes me think about a good movie and a large bowl of popcorn. When the days are longer, a good book sounds great as well. These days as the winter sets in, I am leaning more and more toward big pillows, throws and an evening of movies with a friend.

One of my all time favorite movies is this one:

Today I found this one on DVD.

Creator
One of my favorite aspects of this movie is the music. A very beautiful instrumental. I have been unable to find the soundtrack information but, I will add that here when I receive the DVD (if it is available on the packaging).

Mariel Hemingway,Virginia Madsen, Vincent Spano co-star with Peter O'Toole along with many other supporting roles played by Ellen Geer, Karen Kopins, Rance Howard and Elsa Raven.

More information about Peter O'Toole can be found at:

Theatre, Musicals & Actors Web - Peter O'Toole
http://www.tmaw.co.uk/peterot.html

Another favorite of mine is Made In Heaven with Timothy Hutton, Kelly McGillis & Mare Winningham (to name only a few).

Made in Heaven – Timothy Hutton & Kelly McGillis
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0093467/

I was able to find it on DVD however it is a bit expensive for an older movie. I'll wait for more options to aquire this one.

A List of 80's great romantic movies (both comedy and drama) wouldn't be complete without mentioning

"An Officer and a Gentlemen" Richard Gere

"The Heavenly Kid" Lewis Smith

"Mystic Pizza" Annabeth Gish, Julia Roberts

And, not to leave out the aventure movies like "Indiana Jones" which were very entertaining... or the "Back to the Future" trilogy. How about "The Goonies" ? That was a fun movie and I loved the music.

I could go on and on about the 80's movies... The Princess Bride, Willow and so many more.

"Mrs Winterborne" ~ Shirley MacLaine, Ricki Lake, Brendan Fraser...

Some of my other favorite movies are more on the Classic side.

"Miracle on 34th Street" Mareen O'Hara, John Payne, Edmund Gwenn and Gene Lockhart.

"Much ado about Nothing" and so many more...

I did continue to watch movies after the 80's. LOL There was a large block of time that I didn't see anything new for awhile. Some of my new found movie favorites are

"Serenity", "Babylon5" (the movies and the series), "Stargate Atlanis" (and any of the Stargate movies and series). Now I am going more toward my Science Fiction favorites so I will save some of those for a future list.

I enjoy a romantic comedy...or a good science fiction movie.

What are your favoite movies (past, present, any genre favorites?)

Please post a comment and share your favorites.

INJOY,

GypsyOwl
