The BLACKLUX Party is headed into 2018! What are you looking forward to in 2018? Let me know and you could win a prize!
What Are You Looking Forward To?
New Year's resolutions seem so serious. This is a party, after all! And it's been going for 13 days by now -- 13 days! So we are all a little punchy after so much fun, day after day. So there's no pressure with any New Years resolutions here at the BLACKLUX Party.
Nope -- let's do those New Years resolutions one better! Let's have some Blue Sky Thinking -- where you can let your imagination and dreams run free, without being limited by the time or cost or effort to make those dreams real. The BLACKLUX Party is the place to think big!
What are your Blue Sky ideas and hopes for yourself in 2018? Nobody is going to hold you to what you say -- we've been partying for a long time, after all! But just stretching to say what you want can be powerful. Even putting practicality aside, saying what you want is the first step to things actually happening.
Let me know in the comments below, what your Blue Sky ideas and hopes are for yourself in 2018. Or if you made a post about your 2018 hopes and ideas, leave the link in the comments. I'll select 2 random winners of 2 SBD each. That's 4 SBD total. If you want your potential prize to go to @blacklux, let me know in the comments.
What am I looking forward to? Unconstrained by how I will make it happen?
OK, here goes! I want to grow 1000 pounds of food for my local food bank. I want to help 1000 people connect with their local wild plants, weeds, and mushrooms. I want to create an online foraging course that's not like anything out there now. It will have activities for people to do. And people will enjoy eating weeds when they finish the course, lol. I want to post on Steemit every single doggone day in 2018! I'll go one step further -- I want to make 1000 posts on Steemit in 2018. Not comments, but actual posts. Interesting and helpful posts. So there. That's my Blue Sky hopes and ideas for 2018, on my 13th day of partying! Let's hear yours! :D
Gift Some SBD To @blacklux and I'll Match It 1-For-1!
Thanks, @ecoinstant, @kalemandra, and @mariannewest, for your SBD gifts to @blacklux to help out with her hurricane recovery. I can still match 42 -- 42! - more SBD, so let me know when you've made a transfer to @blacklux! I make my 1-for-1 match as soon as you let me know you helped out!
If You Are New to the BLACKLUX Party
If you just arrived, that's just fine -- you're not too late! You can get your party started with some Holiday Music That Will Get You Moving! Then you can grab some Holiday Cookies or stop by the Hors D'ouevres and Snack Buffet. Then swing on over the Party Bar - the drinks are free! There's a big table for Making Holiday Cards, while you Share Your Holiday Memories. You can join a group to Sing Christmas Carols, too. And then head over to the makeshift stage to the Holiday Poetry Slam and tell jokes at the Laugh-Off. If you work up an appetite, there's some good food at the Holiday Potluck Dinner. After that great meal, we're getting more laid back, listing to mellow acoustic and folk music and sharing what we are grateful for in 2017.
Why We're Having a BLACKLUX Party
It's the season for holiday parties. Steemit needs a party! And hurricanes Irma and Maria devastated Puerto Rico. Our friend, @blacklux, is living through the mess -- still! You can read more about the party in the BLACKLUX Party Post No. 1. I hope you stop by @blacklux's blog, too, with some holiday cheer and upvotes!
Imagination run free?! My department! This year will be big, amazing, full of wonderful stuff aaaaaand no hurricanes haaaa

LOL! "Unconstrained by how I will make it happen?". Your dreams sound exciting and wish you the best!
These are my Blue Sky hopes:
I want to continue to build my brand on Steemit, Youtube and other social media sites.
I want to pay off our credit cards.
I want to sell our house and continue with our downsizing due to our age.
I want to buy a new car / truck.
I want to loose 25 pounds.
I want to become more active in our community...going to town meetings, festivals and charity events.
I believe these are realistic for me and ALL achieveable. I will put in my Faith, mind, passion and determination and give it my absolute ALL. I am excited for 2018.

Those all seem achievable, for sure, with a plan, determination, and consistency! I'm excited to see your progress on the first one -- on Steemit, YouTube, and other platforms -- in 2018! Here's to every one of your Blue Sky hopes being realized in 2018! :D

I am looking forward to Steem hitting 1000. Then, we all will meet somewhere and vacation. @blacklux will make us laugh, @haphazard-hstead will feed us lots of wild food, I make everyone write and all of you who have partied on for 13 days bring all your talents too.
At home, my backyard foodforest will be producing so I can kiss the grocery store goodbye and feed the neighborhood as well.
The gardens and foodforest at the Sustainability center will be in full swing, lots of people come and learn and I don't care if I make any money there - because Steemit made me a millionaire.
Whey stop there. Let's be billionaires and create sustainable eco villages for refugees abroad and for the many homeless here.
Let's make sure that each kid in the US not only eats but has healthy food options and medical care for all.
And I have more on my list. Better make a post to earn another million to pay for it all :)

Now that's some big dreaming! : ) If even a fraction of that happens, you are going to have a wonderful 2018, with some great impact on other people, too. Here's to lots of fun and production in your gardens and foodforest, and lots of people having fun with your FreeWrite project! Enjoy your Steem wealth, too! :D

You're right. I was busy getting ice for the party bar! BLACKLUX Party Post #14 - the last of the series and the first of 2018 - just went up! Party on for one more day! Thanks for that additional gift to @blacklux, too! I've matched it -- only 41 SBD to go, lol! :D

I'm looking forward to my troubles and worries being significantly lessened, knowing I control a majority of the outcome. I'm eager for Spring so I can plant flowers and play in the dirt. In May, my youngest child graduates from high school and he will be going to away to college (I will miss him terribly)! As quickly as 2017 went by, I want to savor each day of 2018.

Those are all wonderful hopes and dreams, @ninahaskin! You have some changes coming with your youngest heading out from home -- playing in the dirt will be good for helping to adjust! Here's to every day in 2018 being a good one worth savoring -- and you ending every day with a smile and good feeling! Happy New Year!

Big Blue Sky Wish No. 1: I'm hoping people keep tossing their used-up Christmas trees all over the place in my town again this next year. Then I will have more things to post about. The gift that keeps on giving. And giving and giving and giving and giving.

haha! - I have really liked your Christmas tree series over the months, @ddschteinn! I like how you keep on a story and really let it develop over time! You see so much of what other people miss in this funny world. Here's to many more astute observations in 2018! :D

I'm not sure these things will ever quit. And if not, " No worries, I'll be there, to bring it all to those of you out in Steemville". It's the least I can do.
Thanks muchly, so glad you enjoy this series. And the nice compliment. It is a hoot to do these...so many different, humorous trees all over the place, in the oddest of places. As you say, it's what makes the world go round.

I've always liked your shoe shot series, too. Maybe there will be more of those sometime! : )

Like the trees, there is endless supply of footwear. I've found some more 'missing' shoes. So stay tuned. Glad you enjoy the view of our feets from above, it is kind of differently fascinating.

The world is so full of fascinating things, especially when people mix with the outdoors and what they leave there. I once found a gigantic, absolutely gigantic pair of men's underwear briefs -- in the middle of nowhere in the Everglades swamps. Why was it there? How did it get there? So many questions! ; )

In 2018 I am wishing for lots of blue skies and sunny days! And a full year of no MS exacerbations!

Here's to all that happening in 2018. With enough rain for the crops and flowers -- but at night! ; ) Here's to your good health through 2018, @melinda010100!
