Always Striving To Improve

Working Hard At Getting Better Every Day

Hey y'all! I was recently given the Steemian prestige and honor of being crowned Dlive Star for campaign period #9. Firstly, I would like to say that I am extremely thankful for this opportunity and very grateful also. Thank you Steemit & Dlive!

Constantly trying to improve!


In this video I talk a lot about how this platform has really helped me evolve as a creator. If you would have told me a few months ago that I would be editing/filming and being so comfortable in front of the camera, simply, I would not have believed you. Without trying to toot my own horn too much, I just want to put it out there that I feel like I have really expanded and grown in my creation skills and comfort in front of the camera...I eventually want to do a livestream but I gotta admit I'm still a little nervous about that. It will happen though!!!

Anyways, I wanted to reflect on my journey here since I started pretty much 4-5 months ago. I started off blogging and it was never really my "strongpoint" so I just kinda moved on to video. In fact, this is my first attempt at actually using some legit "markdown" commands here. Another point in which I am trying to expand and get better at. I'm always looking new ways to expand my creativity, learning from others and trying to advance in my video making skills, (and now blog posts). Still can't figure out how to indent a paragraph though...any help?

What I'm excited about


One of the biggest things I'm excited about here on Steemit is the fact that we are all early adopters....Of course, nobody knows the future...but I think there is a bright future ahead for this platform. I think that because we are early adopters we have a good chance going forward just like any company when your an early investor. I'm also excited about the fact that I can actually learn about cryptos. Before getting on Steemit, I didn't really know much about cryptos so this platform helped me expand my crypto world knowledge exponentially. Coming from a non crypto world, I never expected that to happen. So I'm excited for others to learn more about cryptos and I think this is a great place to be able to do just that all the while, get rewarded for it!

My Steem Cooking Show:


I also want to take this opportunity to "showcase" my new intro for the "Steem Cooking Show" that I post here on Steemit 3-4 times a week, depending on how I feel...(I really should come up with a schedule). Now, you'll have to watch the video for that one...I'm really proud of it and also open to suggestions on how to make it better because I am, after all trying to improve every day.I also threw in a "cinematic" intro? If you can call it that...haha and a semi/ behind the scenes food shopping vlog in the video...

My Inspiration:


OK, I'm going the cliche route here...but I'm inspired to share my cooking here because its my passion, and who doesn't want to share their passion with others? I get comments here and there that say things like you are a great chef or I wish I could do that...And I always respond something along the lines of, "you can!"One of my mottos here is: " I hope to help inspire others to make homemade food. It's not as difficult as many would think and much more delicious than anything you would buy pre-made! "

The secret Ingredient:


OK, I'm gonna go the cliche route here, AGAIN. But I truly believe the secret ingredient to all food is love. Food is something that most people can relate to. I mean, we all need to eat right? So why not make it taste good? Good food can help create stronger bonds and relationships but I truly believe that good food can only be made with "love." Quality over quantity... Since most households are not the size or restaurants, it's not too hard to stick to the quality over quantity rule. So the secret "love" ingredient is easier to instill into your foods...

As always, enjoy the vlog, enjoy the food!

Thanks again y'all!

...all things cooking, decentralized!

For your information, a scammer just followed you. If an account named Operation Curation Bot or an other account with the ocd logo writes you on steemit.chat don't reply him or send him any mones, he is a scammer.

Amazing, I will be the next dlive star, I hope to interview you someday, happy to see you on dlive as well. ☺

I hope you will too! Good luck, I'm sure you will get the interview one day. 😀

I watched your "jealous" video on Dtube very interesting keep it it up.
