My Squidoo Revival
What do you do when you’re burned out? Take a few weeks off? Well, I took more like a few months off – really – most of this year. I focused on my own websites instead of Squidoo – but now I’m back!
I made some changes in my Squidoo life. I’ve deleted some old lenses I was never too happy with. I think more will be deleted as time goes by. I am so happy seeing them gone. They were trouble to keep updated and for no good reason. They were neer-do-well lenses. Now they’re gone. What a relief!
I’ve gone back to having multiple accounts. I have over 200 lenses – split between four accounts.
1. My main account is for literature, food, and whatever else comes to mind. LindaJM
2. My American Citizen account is for lenses that wax political in nature.
3. Geniyyah is a spiritual name I use, and so this account contains a variety of woo-woo type spirituality lenses.
4. The last account is for lenses about the Baha’i Faith: Baha’i Light.
This week I’ve been working on building up the last three accounts. I’d like for them all to become Giant Squid accounts. Fifty lenses, minimum, as I recall. I have a long way to go on that! Still it is fun to stretch my imagination and get into those topics. This week I wrote about how to define spirituality which was insightful, especially when I started watching the many youtube videos about what spirituality is. Everyone has such individualistic beliefs about spirituality.
On the Baha’i account I wrote about Allah-u-Abha – What does it mean? because someone signed my profile page with the word, Allah’u'Abha. I thought maybe everyone who sees that might like to know the meaning of it. Then this morning I decided to start the day by writing about Baha’i morning prayers. Another great experience, sharing what I know about the Baha’i Faith. I’ve been a member of that religion for 42 years now! Some years better than others!
Hmmm… and that’s what Squidoo is about. Writing about what you know. I know a whole lot about Baha’i, and I need to share that. So far the account has only three lenses. Two are new. One sat there for months – all alone – it was about ‘Abdu’l-Baha and how He used to give his coats to the poor people every winter where He lived, in ‘Akka, Palestine (now Israel).
I’ve also managed to make a few new lenses in my main account. I made a lensography for my Christmas lenses: Pictures of Christmas, and also finished a Christmas lens about classic holiday movies. Fun, fun, fun. I should probably make a lot more Christmas lenses.
One lens at a time. It is good to be back!
