101 STEEM STORIES!

HAPPY FRIDAY FANTABULOUS PEOPLE!!

❤❤❤

In my opinion... Fridays are for good news, good vibes and good times - and I have been waiting the week out to see just how many reasons I would have to feel on top of the world today - and there are plenty - 101 to be exact!

Just over a week ago, a handful of us (25 to be precise) from my Power House Creatives community, kicked off the #mysteemstory initiative. When conceptualising a community initiative that would make some waves on Steem and create positive attention and exposure to the outside world, I really did not foresee just how much momentum it would gain... and it was a LOT! In one week, we have had exactly 101 participants and that number can only ever grow. I had decided on Wednesday already that I would save this post for Friday (today) and having finished the post count at 101 - it just seems like there is something magical about the fact that it happened to reside on that number today!

Some of you may recall the two @theycallmedan dpoll competitions that he ran about a year ago - the Steem feed was absolutely swamped with thumbnails from the various teams appealing for votes. As much as it was incredibly competitive it was also one of the most unifying experiences that Steemians had encountered in a very long time. It REALLY brought the community together! The positive energy and excitement during both dpolls could be felt throughout the entire blockchain. It was amazing! I wanted my PHC community to create something similar - I wanted the hype, the excitement, the re-ignition of passion, connecting of individuals and an overall sense of standing together as a unit.

We scheduled our posts so that they would all hit the blockchain at precisely the same time and when they did people immediately began jumping on board. The blue "My Steem Story" thumbnail was literally EVERYWHERE - Steem, Twitter, FB - you name it!! People from ALL over the world were joining in and everyone was sharing it!

Like I said in the intro on the original initiative post - everyone has a story and people like to hear other people's stories - it gives them "first hand" guidance and "salt of the earth" knowledge.

Not only has this initiative connected many people who are already on the Steem blockchain but it has also created an instant resource for outsiders and newcomers that contains a wealth of information, knowledge and guidance. One hashtag can now direct people to first hand stories that cultivate peace of mind and offer reassurance to those less familiar with this space. How amazing is that!

101 STEEM STORIES

forever growing

and that is definitely worthy of a happy dance!


THANKS GIPHY

I would like to say a VERY SPECIAL thank you to the first 101 Steemians that played a part in creating the eternal resource that is...

Such a fabulous initiative @jaynie! So many amazing stories :) Love it!

There really were!!! It was wonderful to read each and every one! Have a great weekend @birdsinparadise!

This was so much fun, not only creating a story and being a part of the initiative, but reading everyone else's stories. We all came from such different backgrounds yet come together here on Steem!

I felt so excited the moment all our stories jumped into Steemit, it was a unique and unforgettable experience from every point of view. This is more than just a chain of blocks, it's a chain of hearts. Thanks to #powerhousecreatives @steemitbloggers, a beautiful community from every point of view, with immense human quality and of which I feel honored and very proud to belong. A thousand thanks, dear @jaynie for making me relive this emotion once again. This way we will continue, bringing the best from my heart to a special and unique family. A big hug for everyone!

What a beautiful comment and testament to the amazing people we have in the PHC server @marybellrg! Thank you! We are blessed to have you with us now too and I look forward to enjoying MANY more experiences like that together as a team!

WOW!! We are a lot!!
Was really fun!
Excellent contest and participation! 👏👏👏💯

It was indeed a LOT of fun!!! I am thrilled with the initial turnout and I hope that many more people get involved in the time to come :)

That was really wow!. The publishing chain was a rewarding and adrenaline filled challenge for the excitement of publishing at the same time. On top of that, the fact of establishing differences and similarities between the publications in terms of each story. The common thread was that no start was easy.

It really was incredible, wasn't it! And yes, I could not agree more!!!! The meeting new people, hearing their stories and everything else made it really special!!!

I enjoyed going down memory lane. Great stuff ♥️

hehe yes! It was fun! Have a super weekend!

It is very nice to tell our beginnings in steemit, the friends we have done, the activities we share on this great platform. I love reading a lot, responding to friends and leaving messages gives them the feeling that they were read and understood. @jaynie

It turned out to be such a fabulous initiative! I am so happy that it was so well received by so many people!

I love to participate and support the project @jaynie

and I really appreciate that, thank you!

I CONGRATULATE them in capital letters. I have read several stories that have moved me, happy and flooded with multiple feelings. I have met people from different parts of the world and their stories are fascinating. Receive my cordial hug to the entire PHC team

There have been some fantastic stories that have come out of this as well as so many new friendships formed! Thank you so much for the positive feedback!
