Lewis Smile’s About Page
You can’t truly understand a person until you’ve walked a mile in their shoes.
But as I’m not going to lend you my shoes, this page is probably your next best thing.
Feedback is welcome, but if you’re going to say horrible things just keep your mouth shut. What would your mother say if she heard you talking like that?
I am an Internet Marketer
“So what do you do for a living exactly?”
If you ask anyone I know what I do for a living they would tell you, after much mumbling and confusion, that it is something to do with the internet. And they’re not wrong!
I build websites and blogs, and pages just like this one. I create downloadable products, offer various services , and I spend most of my work time scribbling onto paper in the hope that something good will come out.
You can see some of my main websites featured here: www.SmileWebCreations.com
I am a reader of books
I have been reading 1 book a week for the last 3 years, ever since a conversation with my good friend Christopher Scott. It is one of the best decisions I’ve made.
It’s sometimes good to spend time not staring at a slowly blinking cursor inside a Google search box, waiting for your next adventure to begin. Life is bigger than Google. There. I said it. LIFE IS BIGGER THAN GOOGLE!
For all you folk who have grown up with these internetty things, did you know there are something like at least 1000 books in the world? I know! Where do they hide them all that’s what I’m wondering!! It’s pretty crazy really.
In case you don’t know: books are just like the internet, but slower.
So take a trip back in time. Oh look. There’s Mr Gutenberg. What’s that in his hand?
I am a watcher of films
The kind of movies I like the best are ones based on a book that I’ve already read.
That’s all I have to say on the matter.
Hey – why don’t we start a movie/book club?
I am a writer
I write. Most days.
I’m like Bob Cratchit hunched over a desk. Cold, hungry, and alone.
I use a pen and paper now, and I’m thinking about buying a proper quill.
I’m most proud of the fact that every day I battle with a stack of blank sheets of paper, and at the end of the day produce something saleable.
Although sometimes I get distracted and don’t finish my
I am a Kiva Loaner
Kiva is a charity that will make you rethink your charitable giving.
Instead of just giving a charity some money, say £10 as a one time deal, you can direct it to a promising entrepreneur in a poorer country. When they have used your money to start or grow their business… you get it back! Bit by bit over about a year, but you get it out.
When you have your money back you are then able to lend it out to someone else. It’s just like recycling money, all around the world.
To get loaning just visit www.kiva.org

Do it. You’ll love it. I can tell, from that funny expression on your face right now. You look delighted!
I am a rider of elephants
Well. I only did it the once. And I clinged more than I rode.
But if riding means getting to your destination without falling off and dying, well then, yes I rode!
Have you ever been on the back of an elephant? Let me tell you, it’s weird. I was right there, almost on her head really.
You’re told to grab on, but they forget to tell you there’s nothing to grab onto but 2 big flappy ears. And I sure wouldn’t like giving someone a piggyback if they were holding on by my ears. Youch!
I thought about pulling out one of her wiry hairs too, to keep safe in my pocket. But I could easily imagine what a rampaging elephant would look like with me on her back screaming like a little girl.
OK. So what do I ride next? What could I ride that’s bigger than an elephant? A whale? Can you even ride a whale?
I am a climber of walls
Have you ever climbed a wall? Those indoor rock climbing ones, made out of coloured splodges of plastic instead of rock.
Here’s what’s odd about it: It’s fun, but you are never quite able to put your finger on why. You climb a wall, you climb down again, and rinse and repeat.
It’s a good challenge. That’s definitely an important element. And there is clear and measurable progression as you improve.
Well, there we are. It looks like I put my finger on it afterall.
