Today marks my 100th day on Steemit! Time to celebrate!
What better way to celebrate than to show my appreciation to all those I have connected with. I have been wanting to write this for a long time and today is the day.
So I start with @earthmother
She is the person that brought me to this platform. She would share her blogs to facebook and I would take the time to read them every once in a while, not taking the thought of what this place is. She talked to me about Steemit from time to time. Told me of how good of a place this is and how we can really connect with people. She said it is nothing like facebook. So I signed up. She taught me the things I needed to know and just said start blogging away. I had no idea what kind of things to write about. So I just wrote and as I did I met some really interesting people.
Through @earthmother, I met @amymya. I enjoyed what she talked about and loved her energy. So I followed her a bit like a secret stalker. Nah, not really lol but I did follow her. Connected some and that brought me to the Crypto Empire.
That opened doors to a whole new universe. At first I really didn't know what the heck I was doing. I was nervous and feeling lost, so when I saw @amymya there, I was stoked to see her. Someone I know! Woohoo! I was able to connect with some people on there, some more than others. Everyone in the Empire is so amazing. They took the time to teach me about cryptocurrency, bitcoin and a few things here and there about Steemit. And I thank the Empire for that. I really grew on this platform with the knowledge you have all given me.
The people that stood out to me in the Empire are @maverickinvictus, @derrangedvision, @eaglespirit, @eonwarped, @jan23com and @spiritualmax and @amymya.
To @maverickinvictus. A man who follows is heart and speaks with it is a being that I am honored to know. Your heartfelt posts have given me much to think about and the emotions have brought me as well as others on rollercoaster rides. I want to thank you for being who you are and continuing to be here on Steemit. Even though I seem like I disappear every now and then, know that I am still around and following. I amy not always have the time to read some of your posts and I apologize for that. It does not show great showmanship on my side and makes me seem less of a friend. I will make it up to you in due time and know that I support you and always will. I am lucky to have met you and would be saddened to lose you as a friend. Keep growing and doing what you do. The next person you will mentor will see how great of an asset your are xx
To @derrangedvision. Many people see you as a great photographer, filmmaker, and have that artistic touch that many would love to acquire. But never will I forget to see you as a father, a great husband to your wife, a hard worker, a man who has been through much, a man for the people and a human being behind the lense. Your life's journey made the person you are today and that is something to be proud of. An honor to have met you and call you my friend. I stand behind you and support you and your wife through this Steemit journey and I applaud you for what you have brought to this community. Through the photo contests to being supportive to those who suffer from depression and PTSD. Stand tall and be proud of who you are and what you have done xx.
To @eaglespirit. Woman, you are so much fun to be with! You make me laugh and come up with the funniest things to say. And I must say this. What pulled me towards you, is your connections to the earth and spirits. Your First Nations heritage and what you share with the people catches me and draws me in. When you talk of wise tales like the weasel in your posts, I am right there and wanting to know more. But I must be patient. Keep up with the good work. I look forward to your Monday card readings. I can apply them for my experience in Steemit but as well as in my personal life. Strange it is but cool nonetheless. Thank you for pairing up with me on the zombie contest. I had great fun with that xx.
To @eonwarped. I have see you change lately. You taught me some about bots and how things work as well. Explained to me things about cryptocurrency and answered many of my questions to help solve these puzzles. I must say that I love your humor and personality. When I read your posts on your trip to Iceland, I had much fun like if I was there. When you pop up in the Empire discord, the energy of the room seems to change and becomes more uplifted. I still have more to learn from you as I know you have insight on a lot of different things with the platform and all, so I thank you for this and helping me. I think the Empire still needs you as the taxman (humming the tune of scatman right now lol). It's always fun when you are around.
To @jan23com. Your Irish charm is hard to walk away from :p You always have the right things to say when it is needed. You know how to make a person laugh and in the most awesome ways. You have great wisdom and I am amazed by it. I know I have thanked you many times in our chats on discord but what can I say other than thank you once more? I know I still owe you that cookie. I have to find a way to send some to you all the way to Ireland without it going bad. You have given me great ideas on posts for my baking and I am still trying to come up with the courage to do a video and also the how to to make it look good. Once I can make up my mind on how I can do it where it feels right, I am coming back to you for more. I am excited and really looking forward to your new discord group when it happens. In the meantime, I look forward to chatting with you more :D Thank you from the bottom of my heart for everything you do. You are an invaluable person and I am privileged to have you as a friend xx.
To @spiritualmax. You have given me great opportunity on here and gave me a bigger chance at growing. I've learned many things from you. Your posts of teachings on the platform, of crypto and more have helped me grow as well. So much to learn and I hope that with your knowledge, I can pass it down once I have learned all that I can. I truly hope that I have not disappointed you, as your delegation is greatly appreciated, I feel like I have a lot to live up to. Thank you for all that you have done. You have given so much to the people in ways that makes them think and learn. I feel that even with what I have learned up to today I can still go back to your older posts and continue to learn from them. They are great tools for advancement and have proven very useful. Thank you once more. I hope that you get the wedding you have always hoped for as the great man you are deserves just as much as you have given.
To @amymya. Thank you for bringing me to the crypto Empire without even knowing it. You leave many trails behind you that bring people to new adventures. I hope people can see this too. You have so much to offer, from you videos of gardening and showing off the scenery where you live, to your posts and discord channel to help families with their children. You live and lead a great life. Many people could follow in your footsteps and they would be such great steps to take :)
I would also like to thank @nathankaye. Your songs have blown me away and showed me great guidance within my myself. Your guidance that helped me realizing how I can accomplish my work has been most positive and I am forever grateful. You are a spiritual being with so much to share. I wish I could just hug you and say thank you for being you. So much you have done that I lack the words to say it all properly. You have permitted me to heal from the inside and it gave me a chance to prosper. Thank you so much!
To @wwf. I want to personally thank you. My deepest gratitude for what you have done and been doing. How you help people, @earthmother especially as I am connected to her and her daughter. When you share about being a spiritual being, I look to learn more about that. It goes against most of what the outside is teaching us and yet it is what it feels most true. I must look inwards and find ways to heal on personal levels and in this I can learn from you. I want to show you gratitude as well for your delegation. I was surprised to see so much support from someone I had just met, amazed at how people I do not know is so willing to help. Complete amazement. I pour myself in this gratitude I send towards you. Your wisdom and sharings are beyond this material world.
To @earthmother. Holy man I have never imagined how this place would have been if I never came here. Honestly when you said how good it was, I never pictured it to be this good. Thank you so much for bringing me here. Through you I have met everyone and through you I have grown. A friend you are, a spirit sister forever, an earth mother so great - to me you are as well. Where would I be without you in my life? I am hooked on Steemit, I am hooked on everything you have shown me. Can you tell? You teach me about gardening, homeopathics and healing plants, spiritual guidance and so much more and,well, look at how we've grown! As a family together, my kids, my marriage, myself. When are we going to celebrate this entire .... state of being? Cheers to...everything! OMG I am at a lack of words right now lol. Love you so much!
To @mistermercury, @papacrusher, @anjkara, @lynncoyle1, @davemccoy, I am grateful to have met you and given the chance to connect. I want to thank you for all your support and I want to say that I would like to continue to connect more with you given the chance and when the time is right. You are all great beings and special people that I do not want to miss out on. I would like to know more about you all and with Steemit, I am grateful to know that I can. Cheers to many more days of connecting with each other and many many blessings to you all! XX.
So to finish this post I would like to thank Steemit for the opportunity to grow as a person, for the knowledge, for the people, for everything! So much to say, so little time. This post has already taken so much time to write up and I need to get baking! Times wasting! Thank you everyone! So much love and respect to you all!
Update! I have to apologize to someone. I have been a bit in a hurry this morning. I have a tall baking order to make with a time limit. My poor planning has done so that I have forgotten to mention someone even though I planned to add this person here. Lesson learned to make notes first, making sure I cover everything and everyone that I originally plan to do. And so my dear friend @aloha-creations. I give you my most sincere apology. I have brought you to this platform and you have supported me since you started from the beginning. And for this I feel shamed.
I am at a loss of words to express how sorry I am, and I should have done better by you.
My dear friend, you have been there through my pregnancies even though we live at far. You have been part of my wedding when I wore your amazing hair pieces you have made. You have even been with me at christmas hanging on my tree through the masks you made. My dear friend Crystal, it would hurt me to hurt you in any way. Please accept my apology. <3 xx
My dear spiritual sister, we make out of life what we put into it. No matter where we look we can find darkness, but there is also a lot of great things going on, even here on the steem blockchain.
I am grateful that you found a community that you feel welcomed and supported. @earthmother is a powerful spiritual being and I'm grateful that she was able to influence you to join us all here. You have accomplished more than most people already, so keep up the great work. We forge relationships through our interactions and it is an honour to be in your circle. May Creator continue to bless you with peace, freedom, prosperity, joy and love as you explore a whole new paradigm on how we can enrich our lives by paying it forward to enrich other peoples lives. I tall comes back to us magnified through our capacity to create and give. That is how we bring prosperity to Mother Earth and all life here. May your journey be blessed even more than mine has been.

I feel as though I need to write a post just to say thank you for these comments! It is overwhelming! Thank you for your blessing and all you say here. You have me feeling like I belong here, which is a great feeling.
Soooo many great things happening on the blockchain. I often see myself catching up and curious as to what everyone is up to.
I hope that I can continue to give and pay it forward as much as it has been for me. Reason why I wanted @aloha-creations here. She is such a beautiful person and I wanted her to see "outside" of facebook, outside to a world within. I wanted to help her and show her a great place to be. Extremely happy that she has joined us and also be a Steward of Terra Matter. She is a gem!

What a beautiful post @foxyspirit!!! You have met some pretty amazing people for sure, and I too feel so fortunate to have met you <3 I love that you and I connected and we may go for a bit without communicating, but then, boom we're right back at it. I think of you like I do my long time friends in 'real life'...we may not talk regularly, but the connection is there, and we are able to just pick up where we last left off. You are really are a great spirit, and who knows, one day, we may actually get to meet in real life and enjoy a beer together. I need to extend that to @eaglespirit as well ...my other beer buddy here haha

The connection is definitely there. Thank you for your kindness, let's hope that the universe will be so kind to us to have us meet in real life ^_^ Cheers!

OMG FS thank you so much and I do not expect you to be commenting on all of my posts and most certainly nt demand engagement.
I love this line as it covers who I am and what I do on this platform.
You are awesome just the way you are and I love it when you talk about cake and your kids and life in general.
I always look forward to you saying good morning while you have that cup of coffee in the morning.

You are certainly in the company of many great people on Steemit! I know quite a few on your list but it seems like there are many more that I should get to know better :) It also seems like you gained so much more than just cryptocurrency on Steemit, and I hope that I will run into some of these fine Steemians soon!

These are great people and there are many more. I hope you do get to meet more of them, great people to connect with. And with these people, I am honored to just have the connections with them, worth much more than the currency that can be gained here. :)

What a beautiful explosion of gorgeous gratitude pouring forth from that golden heart of yours! I kind of want to say “how dare you be so beautifully giving, showing us mere mortals what gratitude is really about!”
Massive thank you, not just for the beautiful gratitude and compliments you bestowed upon me, but also the expression of gratitude and compliments you gave to every single person in your list here. Very inspiring!

Yes I am :) If you would like and have the time here is my number 5726. HEHE I just gave my number to someone famous :p I'm just being silly, don't mind me.
I am blown away by your comments. It is quite hard to reply to something like that, all I can tell you is how it makes me feel, and I feel great! Reading this comment this morning makes me feel like I can make flowers bloom.
It is so important to share gratitude. Being human, we often think that we do not have much to offer, when showing another person what we are thankful for, it shows that person how much more they are and brings in a different light of how they can see themselves. Sometimes being covered in a golden light is the best thing in the world :)
You made me smile big this morning. Thank you so much. I have that extra skip in my step. I will be dancing as I make an apple pie!
