"When buyers judge a book by its cover you will have what it takes to make the sale." In this age of transition, as we awaken to our inate abilities and our interdependance with each other, we have discovered that now more than ever it is important to share our knowledge.

While Squidoo has the best page creators (notice this debate is on a squidoo page), RedGage has the best revenue sharing opportunities (not including the royalties that can be earned on Squidoo). Is RedGage Just a bookmarking site, or is it also a content aggregation platform? While Squidoo has RSS and other syndication modules, RedGage allows you to add a link (title, link, and a summary) and you still have the shared revenue opportunity that you get on Squidoo but, you have only 5 minutes invested. Could you ever get away with creating one line with a link and call it a lens? Bottom Line... Squidoo VS RedGage - Passive Revenue Showdown Take Sides! :) Sun, 23 Aug 2009 01:02:44 -0700 seo http://www.squidoo.com/gimptemplatedownloads November 1st 2008 UPDATE: Added GOColorFive.zip (Three more coloring pages to download).

I have included the screen shots to help you manuver through tasks in the program. I have also included some template downloads (by request) to help you get started on some graphics for your lenses (website, blog, etc.).

So, I have decided to write a showcase lens that will help you find the best shows (my personal favorites) to listen to while you build your lenses. My favorites are motivational, transformative, inspiring, and will give you information, insight, and personal development all bundled into anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. And the best part is, it is radio, so open a new browser and listen while you work, make dinner, put your feet up, or any number of activities. And, if you are compelled to get involved, you can call in and talk to the hosts. This is a dynamic medium that surprisingly I have not discovered until now. Hopefully this lens will help you to discover it as well.

Forget anything you thought you knew about the Mayan End of Time, about evolution, and about human-beings. Science and Religion combine to bring us the 'to do' list for us to move past our illusions and integrate into the awakening. We can create a rainbow around the Earth. Visualize, manifest, cultivate, evolve, learn, unite, ... "forget everything we know, including our names" Let Us Unify and be at Peace "Someday, after mastering the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity, we shall harness for God the energies of love, and then, for a second time in the history of the world, man will have discovered fire."~Teilhard de Chardin Sat, 25 Jul 2009 04:17:54 -0700 religion http://www.squidoo.com/womenswildfirerally This incredible event is going to provide you with top of the line leaders in the business women's world.

Carrie Wilkerson is an extraordinary person in so many ways. She has redefined what it means to work from home and has created an industry that will serve 'work at home' women in ways beyond success in their business. I first discovered her while we were watching Alejandro Reyes, on his weekly show about social media and I noticed her vibrant energy right away. She is inspiring, talented, brilliant, and so personable I wanted to create this lens to share with you about this extraordinary business women who is evidently positioned to lead a new era of executive women into a professional living right from the home front. When I noticed Carrie, I rushed to follow her on Twitter @barefoot_exec and she corresponded with me to thank me for following her. Since then she has been the highlight of my work day. Having a conversation with her, you feel as if you are the only person that matters to her. That is an extraordinary attribute in itself but, did I mention she has over 1200 followers on twitter alone? How anyone takes time to nurture a personal relationship with such a vast following is nothing short of a miracle and evidence of a genuine passion for her dedication to provide the new remote workforce with exceptional leadership.

This is just a beginning of the Best of Fundraising on Twitter List. During this past week I became aware of the power of Twitter on a larger scale than I had ever realized before.

At a time when she should be allowed to sit by his side and comfort him, she is instead wrapped up in the red tape of finding him adequate care. What he is receiving (IV Medications) is a short term solution that isn't working. Eric De La Cruz needs a heart transplant. He needs this now. And this lens will show you how you can help (letters, donations, prayers, and social media awareness).

She was talking about the book "Caught Between A Dream and A Job"by Delatorro McNeal II I was inspired to write about how to find your passion, to live your dreams, and to discover how to live in your flow. In this lens you will find an exploration process and definition of what it means to "Be In Your Flow", guidelines to discovering your passion(s), ways to practice activities that will nurture your journey toward living in your flow, and applicable steps to enjoy every minute of it. As I was creating this lens, I discovered an opportunity to celebrate people who are living the 'Be In Your Flow' way of life. It is easy to find them all around us. I will celebrate them here, so return often to meet them in the "Be In Your Flow - Exemplar" sections. Previous Exemplars are featured in the Archive Lens I have also included numerous resources for more indepth study of principles of passion, creativity, and spiritual growth.

Workshop information - How To Use GIMP for more than just artwork. Resources for artists and more. My artwork is a combination of photography and my love of nature. I am a phtographer, and an artist.

The effort that I put into it results in beautiful work as well. I love to paint, draw, color, take photos, create digital art, and I also take my creativity into other areas such as cooking, sewing, writing, and teaching others how to nurture their creativity.

Mon, 04 May 2009 16:38:43 -0700 shopping http://www.squidoo.com/savehandmade If you have ever heard the saying, "they don't make them like they used to," then you have experienced evidence of the growing need to promote and support good old fashion craftsmanship. Many skills are lost over time primarily because something comes along that is 'quicker' and at times this is a good thing. However, when our technilogical advances cause the extinction of handmade quality, pride of craftsmanship, preservation of heritage, and those moments between mother and daughter, father and son, where a skill is passed on to a new generation... well, let me just say I learned a lot more than how to crochet from my Grandmother as a result of our time together as she patiently showed me how to hold the yarn and weave a tiny 'granny square.' There are several ways that YOU can support and preserve the handmade industry. This lens will explore a few of them. * Buy Handmade * Promote Handmade * Educate Handmade * Network Handmade Note: To review archives (Handmade Product Safety Links and Information - Scroll down To the "Change.Org Archive" section) Sun, 05 Apr 2009 06:52:55 -0700 newsandpolitics http://www.squidoo.com/5000TWEETS This Tribute has transformed into a #followfriday Lens.

But, there was a time when I had no idea what it was or how I would grow to adore the connections, the friends, and the joy of a simple 140 character communication... a tweet that begins to develop a friendship over time. Friendships that will last throughout time. I deeply appreciate you! This lens is an attempt to introduce you to all of my friends on Twitter. My only concern throughout this process is that I will leave someone out.

I will share some of the research I have found and share my experience to help you choose the right balance ball for you. There are dozens of exercise routines for the Balance Ball. Workouts ranging from 10 minutes to an hour or more. Sometimes we are great at keeping our appointment for the workout, and at other times... well, if you are like me you know how this important appointment can be put on hold for 'work'. So why not combine the two and improve your health while you work? Have you ever thought of using the balance ball to sit on while watching TV, folding laundry, crafting, painting, or sitting in front of the computer? Restore energy, balance, and flexibility while you are working, watching television, or other sitting activities. This started out when I was working at a new office and I sat in front of a computer for 3 1/2 hours on a balance ball. The time went by effortlessly. I felt better than I ever have before after working at a desk. Instinctively, I was stretching, breathing deeper, working the abs and legs. And, the next morning I was up early and ready to take on the day. Today, as I write this review, I am sitting on a balance ball, posture better than ever in front of a computer, and I am comfortable. Not to mention the peace of mind knowing that I am going to feel 'good' afterward. If you spend time in front of a computer, or at an activity that is primarily sitting down, this idea just may be what you have been looking for. I will share some of the research I have found and share my experience to help you choose the right balance ball for you.

Here's the link to my Zazzle Gallery. Head on over and look around. http://www.zazzle.com/GypsyOwl Fri, 09 Jan 2009 19:24:52 -0800 animals http://www.squidoo.com/gypsyowl-squidoo-marketing While many marketers know about the power of Twitter, Digg, Stumble, Delicious, Reddit, Facebook, MySpace, AddsYou, Posterous, Blogger, Wordpress, Ning, and other popular ways to get backlinks; And some know about Bazooka Buzz, DZone, Lipstick, Google, Sphinn, and the dynamics of blogs, feeds, listbuilding, and email marketing; Few (until now) have caught on to the extraordinary results generated by Squidoo. While many have signed up on Squidoo they have not fully optimized the countless opportunities that exist (and are continuously being added) to the platfore. Squidoo is Web 2.0 at its best! And you do not need to be a webpage guru to learn to use it. The only thing (to my knowledge) that isn't forgiving (that you can not change) is your URL for each Squidoo Lens (page), other than that, you can change anything later. My Tip for you...consider this; Why not Begin with Squidoo as your springboard for any or all of the rest? Sign up for New Squid Class Emails (free), Get involved in the SquidU forum, take a look at the Squidoo Answer Deck (hundreds of lenses that show you How To Squidoo), and allow yourself to grow as you go. Squidoo is free, fun, dynamic, powerful, multi-dimensional, continuously developing and expanding to add even more options for stategic expansion, and most importantly generates results. This lens will highlight some of the ways you can use Squidoo to create your own backlink empire. You can create a Cash Flow (using the dynamic integration of marketing your business, blog, or online galleries), Promote fund raisers for Charity, or a combination of both. For even more information be sure to opt in for the New Squid Class Emails (free).

For a very long time we have attempted to reduce the amount of mail we receive and that hasn't been very successful. The time has come to put a stop to the senseless slaughter of the trees on our planet who are our main source of the very air we breath. Do you want to be the one to tell our grand children the reason there are no more trees? _________________________________ FEATURED ON Giving Squids a Helping Hand December 28, 2008 "oh, I'm so sorry Billy, but, We had to send tons and tons of unwanted mail everyday for decades and eventually it took its toll on our planet's trees. So that is why you have to wear that oxygen mask all the time. But, not to worry, in about a hundred years we will have re-grown at least enough to allow for people to breath on their own again...well that is if we don't start cutting any of them down again." Well Billy... If I were you I would write to all of the Direct Marketers Now. You get their address' everytime you open the mail box. Some of them even include those self addressed no postage required envelopes. This lens is going to highlight ways we can turn this insanity around once and for all. The more people join this celebration of trees and give people who need to know some easy to follow ideas, we have a chance to make the world a better place NOW.

Mon, 29 Dec 2008 20:12:51 -0800 people http://www.squidoo.com/gypsyowl_optimization This lens will show you an easy way to update content on your lens by using the RSS Feed module. You can update multiple lenses all with one blog post. Great for content that will be changing (such as the YEAR 2008 in your CopyRight sections will change to 2009 soon for example). Remember: This kind of update will not be detected by Squidoo's Check list for lens rank. So it should not be used as a replacement for freshening up a lens. It is for LONG Term modules such as the copyright notices, perhaps a Holiday Greeting (you can update the greeting seasonally), or to suggest a new lens to direct your readers to (you might use it to announce your new lenses). I will discuss specific ways I am going to implement this tip and would love for you to add any more ideas you have or new ideas this lens sparks for you.

Fri, 07 Nov 2008 15:35:24 -0800 philanthropy http://www.squidoo.com/tinman Tin Man (a remake of the classic Wizard of Oz) is the source of this spiritual growth metaphor. We are born with gifts, hide them (or have them hidden for us) as children, and spend much of our adult years seeking, uncovering, and rediscovering them. In the 'Tin Man', DG's mother whispers the secret, of how to find the emerald, into DG's ear and uses magic to hide it there. Sometimes our light is hidden for us by our protectors when we are children, sometimes we hide our gifts on purpose to avoid the chastisment of unbelieving people. In DG's case, the emerald held the key to empowerment and it was hidden so that it would not be used for self interest. Are we to find that hidden place 'somewhere over the rainbow', or are we to stay where we are and look within ourselves for the answers? Thu, 06 Nov 2008 16:24:32 -0800 moviesandtv http://www.squidoo.com/artactivity I couldn't pass up this opportunity to share my passion for the concept of art as a very powerful nurturing activity. Be it coloring or oil painting (or anything in between), sculpting, cooking, and the list goes on; Artistic creativity is a transformational experience. Be sure to nurture your creativity every day and share this practice with your whole family, your classroom, or any group that you are part of.

Mon, 03 Nov 2008 07:58:22 -0800 education http://www.squidoo.com/createbutterflygarden How our spiritual growth is similar to the stages of a butterflies lifecycle and how understanding this can enhance our journey. Create a butterfly garden to enhance your outdoor experience, to balance the ecosystem around your home, and for the pure enjoyment of it. This article will summarize the primary steps and will provide resources for further study. The primary focus is on the relationship between the butterfly lifecycle and the human experience. There is a rise in the practices of green living that I have not experienced since the days when the flower children brought to the attention of the masses the need to protect the future of our planet. It is refreshing to see a constant growth in green living practices in daily life as well as business culture. We have been historically a planet that put profit before eco systems, yet, we are coming into a new era, and the planet is shaping up to prepare for the next generation who will inherit the earth. On that note, we can play a small yet very important part in the process by taking notice of our surroundings and learning simple ways to do our part. One way is to create a butterfly habitat. There are several aspects to creating an environment that will attract and sustain butterflies in every cycle of their life.

Nurturing your creativity starts by nurturing your self concept or maybe it is the other way around. When self concept is blocking you from reaching for your creative dream, then you may want to approach the situation from this vantage point. Mon, 13 Oct 2008 13:10:39 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/chooseyourmedia The beauty of feeding your desktop is that you choose what you want to feed it. This in turn becomes your primary source of news and updates about the things you care about. The first news you see when you turn on your computer...could be GOOD NEWS, Funny News, Travel News, Business News,...whatever you choose. The beauty of RSS FEED (Real Simple Syndication) is that we choose what we want to read on our time when we are ready before we are bombarded with information that other people want us to know about. This daily practice helps me to remember what is important to me in my life and allows me to be attentive to others without running the risk of absorbing an imbalanced perspective.

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 18:00:52 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/walkinyourdestiny This Lens is my conversation with myself relating to the things I have learned and the discussion I heard one day (the day I created this lens). This is Part 1: (Part 2 came much much later and got to the heart of the matter - My journey in recovery). This lens is A very personal walk through a belief system transformation... from survivor to conqueror. Have you ever been called a survivor? Did you know that there is a 'survivor syndrome', I will call it, that keeps us blocked from moving forward after a crisis? This lens is about moving past being a survivor, striving for our good, and moving forward as a conqueror "walking in our destiny."

Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:18:07 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/readingactivity Here are great ways to teach family members about the joy of reading while also helping children stay sharp during the summer break or over weekends and holidays. Whenever classes are taking a recess. This is for all ages. Sun, 12 Oct 2008 17:03:42 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/gameactivity The possibilities for this activity are endless. The primary goal is to involve everyone in the spirit of 'play', not so much competition, however, this would be a good time to address any values you have to share about competitive atributes with your children, (group, or classroom). The Greatest Gift you can give your children and your family is TIME. Whatever activity you choose to share, you are creating memories and opportunities to share yourself and your love with each other. Share your values, show your family what is important to you. A game is simply a vehicle to creating a space in time that will be remembered for years to come. Sun, 12 Oct 2008 16:59:21 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/withtheheart Included in this lens: The Movie and The Book (Thank You YOUTUBE). Listen to this heart felt story about the Little Prince again today. As I ponder dialog, symbolism, and so much more contained within the classic story "Little Prince", I realize that it is simply the most tender and human story I have ever read. I will share how this story and the quotes from the book have become so important to my everyday life and share insights in this treasured classic.

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 13:03:43 -0700 people http://www.squidoo.com/sanctuary_news Update 2: The Sci Fi Channel is airing the show again ... started at 11PM EST. This Lens is now subject to Spoilers so BEWARE. Update: ONE HOUR until the Show begins. Friday October 3, 2008 at 9PM EST! ON SCI FI Channel. Drop on by this lens after the show and tell us what you thought of it. Synopsis by Kamil Trzebiatowski The revolutionary and cutting edge new project. Citing the website of the show's production company Stage 3 Media: "Each webisode of Sanctuary follows the exploits of Dr. Helen Magnus as she seeks out all manner of terrifying and monstrous creatures. She is aided in her quest by her reluctant protégé Will Zimmerman and her intrepid, if somewhat reckless, daughter Ashley. Together they will be drawn into a frightening and mysterious world populated by beings that defy explanation." The series is intensely dark and gothic in style and boasts great many visual effects - in fact, most of what is not actors and most basic props is visual effects and is heavily CGI. Already hailed by many as the next step for sci fi visual storytelling, this project is most definitely worth a closer look.

Thu, 02 Oct 2008 12:39:10 -0700 food http://www.squidoo.com/gypsyowl_music This lens is focused on the Easy Rock of the 70's and one brilliant YouTube Channel that has creatively put together a few of the most memorable compositions of the time. I have subscribed and added a quick shopping list in case you hear something that you have been searching for. Enjoy the music and please join me in a celebration of the Easy Rock Music of the 70's. It seems to me that the 1970's was all about the music. Music touched out lives, spoke our minds, held our hand during difficult times, celebrated life, and even helped us to understand it when things were a bit confusing. The music tells a tale of people and the complexities of being human in a world that often forgets how precious life is.

Tue, 30 Sep 2008 12:37:17 -0700 business http://www.squidoo.com/gypsyowl_100 It has been 5 months since I began writing on Squidoo and the journey has been filled with delight, amazement, countless learning experiences, and most of all the joy the people of this community have brought into my life. This lens is my 100th Featured Lens. I would like to dedicate it to Squidoo and to all of the Squidoo LensMasters who have touched my life along the way. This milestone is possible because of you. Your wisdom, compassion, interaction, tips & advice have made the experience fun and exciting right from the start. While this lens may sound like it is 'about me', I have categorized it in the 'people' category because it would not have been possible without you. Here is YOUR lens! IN~JOY Brightest Blessings, GypsyOwl Tue, 30 Sep 2008 00:13:46 -0700 people http://www.squidoo.com/cakeorcandles The discussion continues regarding the concept that, as Rabbi Daniel Lapin, author and scholar, says "Money is Spiritual, not physical." He continues "...making money is like lighting a candle from other candles that are already lit around us..." We do not take away from anyone else. He says "...you do not get friends as a result of getting money, you get money as a result of having friends." He continues to add "...we serve, wealth returns as an exchange, we are rewarded with prosperity for serving others." This lens will introduce you to Rabbi Daniel Lapin, share insights about The Cake or Candles Principle and how to change our thinking about wealth and prosperity. Rabbi Daniel Lapin's book "Thou Shall Prosper: 10 Commandments for Making Money" is filled with the secrets of ancient hebrew principles that will prove there is dignity and morality in living a purposeful prosperous life.

I tried to put this out of my mind and throughout the morning I was still feeling abducted by 8s. So, I decided to make this lens. The mind swimming subsided as soon as I created the artwork for 08-08-08 @08:08 ... hope you enjoy this as much as I have. Well, AFTER it was done, I have enjoyed it very much. :D One moment in time (repeated around the globe - in every time zone), will mark a vortex in time that will be remembered and talked about for any where between 8 minutes, 8 days, 8 weeks, or 8 months. And if the moment is even more brilliant, we will be talking about it for 8 years or 800 years maybe! This fun lens is about 8's (eights). It is also about creating a moment of pure unity all around our planet. So, mark your calendars and pass this around, let us all join together in one minute of brilliant unity.

Please support GypsyOwl's work. This lens will share how you can contribute and will house multiple topics. This may be the least focused lens I have. * Every day I am on a search for great resources, websites, products, services, great books, music, and more. If it inspires me, I'm going to recommend it. In This Lens... most of my recommendations will fall into the major 5 or 6 topic areas, that I write about the most. When I first find them, I will be dropping them into this lens, and then, perhaps duplicating them on other lenses when it is appropriate and on the topic. So, this lens is basically going to be less focused than most of my other lenses. * This may be considered as the Long Commercial but, you do not have to sit through the whole thing. You may fast forward to the programming by visiting my Top 100 Lens List . But, before you do, I would like to share a bit about the purpose of this commercial break and how you can help.

Wed, 27 Aug 2008 13:53:57 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/three_women Three Women - SARK - Donna Eden - Catherine Ponder - A Healing Journey of Mind, Body, & Spirit. Three women who have changed my life by teaching me how to think in new ways, take actions that make me feel more confident, to heal the past, and instill hope for today. They can show you how to heal your life as well. I wanted simple straight forward answers and I wanted them to transform my life. I wanted to know why I didn't feel like getting out of bed, why I kept picking partners who were not emotionally available, why I had attacks of unworthiness. I wondered why I couldn't let go of past hurts, why I would give up on goals and dreams that I was passionate about, right when it appeared I was so close to achieving them. I was a student ready for a teacher who could make sense of my life and could heal the years of pain that had started to paralyze me. What I found was release from the past, hope for the future, and passion for today. I found what is important to me and how to learn to manifest it in my life. I received moments of peace, followed by hours of peace of mind, and slowly this peace of mind became a consistent companion. Those first moments of silence were terrifying! I had never experienced peace of mind before, so, at first the experience caused a state of panic. I discovered that thoughts, emotions, and actions were interdependent, like gears working in the back of my mind, they guided me into every decision and every situation. I discovered that I had the capability to change my thoughts, balance my emotions, and take control of my choices and my actions. I discovered my authentic self. That is how I am living my dreams today. I would like to share with you the three women I consider to be the most instrumental teachers in my transformation. I would like to introduce you to SARK, Donna Eden, and Catherine Ponder. Three women who changed my life; Three women who can heal your life as well.

Fri, 18 Jul 2008 06:59:39 -0700 education http://www.squidoo.com/walkinyourdestiny_Part2 This has been a challenging lens to create. I found myself getting too busy to work on it on purpose. Recently I was reading a fellow lensmaster's story, and realized that the only thing that has been holding me back is fear. So, I have made a decision to create this lens about my journey in recovery from alcoholism. I share this story with humility and hope that if even one person finds the way out of active addiction for even one day, it will have been worth the relative slight emotional discomfort. Remember that we can accomplish any task for one day. Each morning we make a decision again. The simple one day at a time concept, as modeled in the 12 step recovery method, is the beginning of a journey that will set us free. photo credit:Amazon.com Sun, 13 Jul 2008 12:33:05 -0700 education
