1 Year on Steemit - Time sure flies! Cake Celebration!

Hello Steemit!

So.. yesterday ( yes.. I am missing the post by one day ) my Steemd account feed had a little cake on it .. and since cake can only mean good things .. it turned out it was my Steemit birthday! ..or steemversary?? ...mmm.. however you would like to call that one... but yeah.. I have now been around here for a full year of craziness!

I actually celebrated by making me some patacones.. if you don't know what these are.. you are missing out!

Crazy to believe that this whole year just started with @meno insisting me to get an account , to which I refused to do until he bought one and told me ''you owe me the money I paid for the account'' ... oh yes.. the brotherly ways.. but since the day I made my first post I have been posting almost every day for now 365 days... crazy now to look back and see all the writing that has happened :) .

From joining @openmic of the first time , getting my first @curie and learning about the world of Discord... I have made so many friends and gained a lot of experience around here .. oh.. and .. did you know that by posting I raised the money for my first album?

So , I thought I would celebrate this by giving out a shout out to all the communities and the peeps around them ( I know I can't name them all or this post would be too long.. but you know who you are! ).

• @openmic , @luzcypher, @krystle, @soundlegion , @verbal-d and @passion-ground .. this is where it all started for me and I can't thank the Open Mic family enough .. my first music submission got received with such a nice welcoming I just had to continue.. and well.. a year later I'm still close to this musical family ( will make another Open Mic soon ;) .. been overwhelmed with work lately.... but I'm around! )

• @Minnowsupport , the whole MSP family , PAL network and Msp-waves .. the first place i popped in on discord.. I remember popping up first to one of my now discord parents @isaria and @swelker101 music shows and had a great time there .. a year later I'm still popping up to most of their shows sharing my top notch drawings and Pop Tart recipes! Also , big shoutout to the whole OPs team and specially @globocop and @r0nd0n who trained me to help run the radio , happy to be in the team . Of course I need to mention @aggroed and @crimsonclad in my shoutouts :D . All lovely people!

• @comedyopenmic .. also one of the great communities I'm very active in .. the craziest peeps hang around here and they sure are like one big family ... originally kidnapped by @diebitch .. then blackmailed by @dj123 .. but I'm still around :D .. the COM family is one of the great ones to be around ( no .. they did not pay me to say this....maybe )

• @talentclub being Ecuadorian myself I am a big supporter of Hispanic authors and curators and to me @dresden and his Talent Club are doing the best job out there helping all of the spanish speaking authors in the platform .. so of course I have to give big shout out to that community :D

• @helpie last but not least is our own little crazy nut family .. the helpienauts ... @helpie is also about to be a year old since @meno started with just a simple idea of a name and the idea to help others.. the account sat for a while until with @ankapolo and myself we found a way to start it.. we set up a little discord , delegated a bit to it .. and did our first trivia... and... from that point to where it is now is just unbelievable ! I can't go without saying thanks to each and everyone that has joined the family and helped us grow little by little. If I start tagging I would never end this post.

Also .. yesterday was the first time every I talked longer on a @helpie meeting ... @meno is out of town and he usually runs the meetings but yesterday and with the help of @llfarms , @carrieallen and @eonwarped we had some fun time and discussed where we are at now with the project . It took 4 of us to do what usually @meno does by himself hahaha.. but... GO TEAM!... you all get cookies!

Helpienaut Monday Meeting

Well... that's it for me today :D ! It's been a crazy ride and I hope to be here one year from now writing about my second year and how this whole adventure has continued!

Cake for all!
Much Love
