I am still on my personal crusade to pay-it-forward and assist new steemians and assist my fellow homesteaders.

So in this post not only I am reminding people about the contest that ends Sunday, but I also wanted to let everyone in on some new challenges and surprises I am working on with the help of @fulltimegeek's SOG delegation.

Healthy2018 Tag & Challenge

What Does It Mean To Be healthy2018?

---

It is whatever you want it to be.
See my original post here explaining it doesn't necessarily mean weight loss or dieting. It could be financial freedom, a new career, less stress, etc.

Here is the post for this week's contest- Healthy2018 contest.

So I posted the challenge for people to make a post about what they honestly want, need or have to change in their life to be a healthier you in 2018. AND the posts and responses came in!!

What's Next For This SOG?

---

Over the last few days I have thinking... deeply... and following my instinct on some things I want to do, how I want to keep up the momentum and how I will share the joy.

Some of the events, challenges and I am considering:

---

• Delegating my own SP to a homesteading steemian (yeah, yeah... been there done that... but this time, I WILL SUCCEED and know I did the delegation correctly)
• After realizing, and remembering, how important having extra SP helped boost my own steemit account, SP, visibility and reputation, I have decided to make a second delegation
  (I will be handing the first delegation this weekend, even after my snafu the other day; while the second person I choose will be receiving his or hers within the next few days. shhh, they don't even know it yet!
• I will be having another @qurator membership contest coming in the next week- so watch for it
• I will be doing a special January thaw- details coming next week
• I have plans to expand my portion of the homesteadersonline seed exchange
• I will be continuing to do my weekly Holler Out Tuesday post with some more and exciting twists
• We all know I am EMBRACING a homesteading steemian every Sunday... well, I am also going to be adopting a gardener starting Monday- watch for the post coming

Who is it?

---

I wasn't going to mention the name of my SP delegation, but after speaking with her... yes, her... she said I could mention her name.

@karenfoster

---

I am on my HIGH search mode right now and have narrowed down my second person. I just need to work out a few details.

So congratulations @karenfoster... Ready for some exciting times on steemit?
