Ravijojla's Entry in the Contest: 2000 SP Delegated For the Month of December

Stepping in the Welcome Wagon community spot today, I was pleased to meet @xcountytravelers - Ren Bad Cranbry, who managed to brighten my day on a couple of occasions. You see, she is on a quest to find her Christmas spirit as she is sitting still recovering from an illness. I wish I was in Tulsa at that point...yet, from the comfort of my settee I was hugging myself in her comforting cinnamon story, when she popped up again bringing this time a cookie box with the scent of most generous contest, powered up by @mountainjewel. A couple of minutes later I was caught making my third post for the day...

Following the narrow paths, I will start from the beginning. In my b.s. (before Steemit) era I was occupied in raising up and recovering cross-border regions, by implying firm community efforts to achieve cohesion. Approached by @crazybgadventure one evening, I woke up the other day a Steemit content creator. My most delightful achievement back in those lazy summer days was getting involved in the Welcome Wagon, one of the most supportive Steemit communities. I was formatting raised by @zen-art and @awakentolife and went to miss @dreemsteem's community life master classes.

The autumn, as we are keen to call it here, fell with a dumb sound of the first frozen mist and I was hit with an idea to widen the scope of my contribution. The marvelous host of the #Rambleradio - @ShaddowsPub approved to have a Friendly Friday light talk show, which is commonly popular as the Friday wafer with an @enginewitty's #WordswithWitty fill. Cut the suspense down. I am exceptionally delighted to be the idea holder, concept creator and one of the hosts of the Barbarella light-talk show, live streaming on Fridays, 3 pm and 8 pm UTC on Ramble Radio. The programme is looking to affirm the models and working practices that add up to good quality content produce on the platform, and also to set the added value standards in the community for many to follow. Barbarella is a one-hour show that covers four info panels: The Steemit Trends, The Author of the week, News of the World and The Big Fish. Last week Barbarella live show Enjoy!

During the past two months my dear co-host @anutu and I managed to provide wider public exposure for some of the new projects on the platform including dStors, Crowdmind and the Review Me initiative Among the talented content creators, we covered are @dunsky, @princessmewmew, @jungwatercolor, @deearchi, @lifesacircus, @mandelsage - all of them of various backgrounds. Barbarella is bringing you closer to the people you like featuring the ones who are constantly making impact on the platform, starring at our Big Fish, we introduced @dreemsteem, @c0ff33a / Deranged [Witness], @enginewitty [Witness], @Snook and @ShaddowsPub. Their clever approaches, hints, tips and advice for the community is a part of the compilation we make, known publicly as The Steemit Book of Wisdom.

Another community occupying my concerns is @Banat. All efforts there are dedicated to recover a disadvantaged wide region in SouthEastern Europe. The tools we use is promoting self-employment, social entrepreneurship and supporting start-ups during the earlier stages of their business life. Currently situated @thealliance's front foyer and looking back at the end of the day...it all started with me becoming a part of the one of the most active and supportive Steemit communities - @welcomewagon.

An experience far beyond the words implied here, I'm aware and yet - worth starting my day with. For all mentioned above, it is clearly seen that low markets, Black Friday absences and other similar disgraces are trifles to jump over in the deliberate intention to make the community relations stronger and the content provided of even better quality. My reputation on the platform is 52. It took me 172 days, huge support and insane quantities of comments to reach that point without using paid votes.

Finally, I still have the strange feeling that I receive more than I'm able to give to the community that has welcomed me in a warmest manner. I was at the edge of disappointment a couple of times seeing low levels of my Voting Power, which was effecting badly my overall activity and performance on the platform. Hopefully, a delegation as generous, as the one you offer will change massively the case. I am convinced that your support will enable me to offer wider exposure of the good quality content published on the platform by setting a Hall of Fame for our authors of the week and get the Steemit Book of Wisdom published as a manual for future reference many newbies could use. In this quest I see a valuable added value for the community to benefit from.
