Join the #ShoutOutSaturdays movement!

@crazybgadventure created a fantastic new project #shoutoutsaturdays.

This is all about meeting new people on Steemit and bringing communities together! Communication and networking are crucial to a thriving steemit blog and what better way to solidify a new connect than by raving about how cool they are and how much you've enjoyed meeting them!

If you haven't seen the posts around check out @crazybgadventure's post The Purpose of the ShoutOutSaturdays tag

Since I've got A LOT going on here on Steemit I have committed to this project but on a Monthly Basis instead of weekly - I will still highlight 3 new members that I have recently met on here. No harm if this doesn't put me in the running for the contest - I think it's still a great premise and what's better than recognizing the new people you connect with on here?

If you ARE interested in being a part of @crazybgadnventure's weekly contest here are the rules - but but sure to check out the orinigal post! (link above)

Rules
You need to meet and engage with three people you have not spoken to before, you need to engage with them as much as you can this week.

  • Create a post shouting out about who you met and why they are so awesome, and put in the following two tags shoutoutsaturdays and steemitcommentchallenge.
  • Post you link below this post with your contest entry.
  • Only one entry per person please, any additional entries will not be accounted for.
  • Only posts included in the comments will be considered.
  • The key word in this is Saturday so wait till Saturday to post it, remember we are doing this as a group so if you post up before your post will not count.

My New Friends!


1. @Article61 aka PeaceSeekingMissle


I just bumped into @article61 recently when he entered my #MinnowMondays challenge on friendship last week. He wrote a crazy/fun post about acid trips in his teens and I was immediately a fan! He also wrote an awesome poem about his daughter which showed me the versatility of his writing. He showed interest in the #newbieresteemday initiative and we chatted a bit on discord. I can tell he is doing big things on here and I'm so happy to have made a new friend! We've had a ton of nice comment conversations and he even took the time out to listen to my newest dsound experiment!

Please head over to his blog and check out all his amazing work in music, poetry, politics and more!

His latest project: @simgirl & @snook Bad Karaoke Challenge Week 1 - Chaka Demus & Pliers(Also includes other entries) So head over and give his song a listen and an upvote!

2. @sultnpapper


I was actually referred to this blog by my good friend @bifilarcoil who saw similarities between @sultnpapper's post Why is it that so many people are in prison in the USA? I’m glad you asked My interest was peaked with this one blog. I liked the upfront, no BS style of his writing. I left a nice comment comparing my recent Prison Industrial Series article and he kindly replied he had actually read it and wanted to chat more. We had a lengthy, exciting conversation and he offered me a ton of priceless judicial advice - which I am so grateful for!

He writes a Daily Dose of Sultnpapper each and every day so head over to his blog and check out what he's writing about today!

His latest dose:So there are some low flying helicopters … big deal.

I just saw you included me in your first #shououtsaturday post! since I started this the other day I figured I'd leave you in mine! Hey, synchronicity is a beautiful thing :-)

I officially met @magicalmoonlight when she DM'ed me and kindly asked if she could do her #newbieresteemday post on Monday's along side my #MinnowMondays post. I thought it was such a nice thing to do. She now puts out Magical Monday's which is a must read for anyone who wants to know what has been happening in the #newbieresteemday world over the passed week! She found interest in my Tarot Tuesdays posts and I even got to do a personal reading via discord for her. She is a wonderful new addition to the Newbie Resteem Day Initiative and now I'm even seeing her in a bunch of other awesome communities across Steemit!

She wrote an exceptional post on the value of Steemit here in Steemit Is More Than Just Money and a great post about women, Here's To Strong Women!. Both of these posts are still live so be sure to head over there and give her an upvote!

Oldies but Goodies


In light of the spirit of this new project I wanted to quickly thank 3 Steemians that are not new connections for me but I value our friendship very much!

I have met so many amazing people on here and I plan to do one of these sections at the bottom of each and every Shout out Saturday post

@lynncoyle1 you are an amazing woman is real life and such a kind spirit here on the platform. I am so glad we have you on our team and a part of the ABC's of Curation. Your comments always put a smile on my face! If you haven't had the chance to meet @lynncoyle1 yet check out here Love it or Shove It post to learn all about her!
@simon62 speaking of comments putting a smile on my face - I can't begin to list the amount of interesting new things I've learn thanks to you! I love how I get to chat, learn from and get to know someone literally on the other side of the world from me - it is so cool. So much respect to you for your mission to spread the old school knowledge. And on the topic of old school knowledge - if you're into crystals check out his post on Lithotherapy.
@tryskele is kind of a newer connection for me but I value your support so much! You have written so many kind comments on my posts and take part in my challenges - I appreciate it all and wanted to say thank you I do notice your votes and resteems - you're doing a great job! Everyone should head over and learn about the Freedom Challenge going on right now!

That's if for this month! Thanks for stopping by!

What a beautiful post @amariespeaks!!! I love that you're doing it monthly, because let's face it, a week flies by in the blink of an eye, and I know your like me on Saturday, shocked, saying "*WHAT??? it's Saturday again!!!"

I really like how @crazybgadventure made meeting new people a thing in his contest! It kinda forces people to 'get out there', which I really love! Thank you so much for including me in your post @amariespeaks and for all the exceptionally kind things you had to say; it makes my heart warm knowing I can put a smile on that pretty lil' face of yours ;)

Brian just wrote the most amazing thing to me here, so I'm switching up my shoutoutsaturday post as we speak, to be about that!! Thanks again @amariespeaks...I love this <3

thank you @lynncoyle1 !! I saw the post - it is SO sweet! I almost edited this and added it in (started this post yesterday lol) but I'm in a bit of a time crunch, cause face it we all are! LOL, so I kept it as is ;-) Can't wait to check out yours!

haha time crunch for sure!

I'm still trying to write mine lol There's always so many distractions on steemit; I'm like a golden retriever puppy chasing butterfly's, simply running in 50 different directions at once and really going no where ;)

...but so dang happy!

btw, do you mind if I copy/paste some details about the contest from your post?

lol I know I hop around like crazy! I can't help it, especially when discord is open haha

Go right ahead! Use whatever you'd like my dear!

haha I hear ya!

I just finished my post, but ended up focusing on Brian, but I did get you in there to ;)

aww you're so sweet! Going over there now :)

Thats pretty awesome that we included each other! ❤ thank you for this. I agree with @lynncoyle1 a week flies by so fast! Its great to see you still joining in on this and using time managment (something I need to work on). The users you included sound awesome and I'm so intrigued to check them out just by what you said about them and their recent post. Once my little one falls asleep I am going to check them out.

cool! I hope you love everyone as much as I do!! <3

I am leaving this comment and an upvote on several #shoutoutsaturdays posts because there are so many. There is only so much one feline mustelid can do in a day.

I had planned to acknowledge all you who are shouting out today, and all those you are shouting out to. I may still do that, but for now, the best I can do is say "Bless you for taking part. I hope you return next week and every week."

Trust me, I'm a doctor.

thank you for stopping @catweasel :) you're awesome for showing the love on #shoutoutsaturdays !

That’s a great shoutout! 👍 I’m impressed by all the wonderful posts.

I just want to clarify that #shoutoutsaturdays is @crazybgadventure’s idea, as you wrote above that we had teamed up. It is 100% his idea and I should have no credit for it. I only featured his post in my comment challenge. Thanks!

oohh I must have misread his original post! Oh - I'm sorry I'll edit it! thank you for clearing it up @danielsaori :) thank you for checking out my post!

Nice post...i have seen your post and upvote u...
please u follow and upvote me..??

@taalash - this is a highly spam driven comment. I hope you are a not a bot, in case you're real please don't leave comments like this - are you new to Steemit? I have a bunch of links to tons of content that will explain how important meaningful communication is on this platform. If you are interested in reading them please reply and I will drop the links for you.

If you want to succeed here I suggest you never randomly drop unwarranted spam-bombs into someone's comments section and leave a generic message that:

A.) clearly states you did not read the post
and
B.) asks for upvote/follow/f4f

BTW : continuously spammish comments like this will end up getting flagged which will result in the loss of sbd/steem so if for no other reason do it for the money

I decided to resteem this booster rocket to keep my dear friend @amariespeaks in orbit.

Don't bump into sattelites with your Starfighter!

Now let everyone think about thisone LOL

LOL thank you @bifilarcoil :-D I really appreciate the booster!

Only just picked up on this :( Sorry, it has been a very busy time on here, lately. Thanks so much for the mention, that is too kind of you. Hope you are doing OK. Will have to speak soon. Loving the work you do. :)

thank you @article61 :) no worries! Everything is good - hope all is well on your end too ! Keep Steemin!

Will do! And I think I may use you as an example at my steemit event tonight. You do some really great work and would be good to show my appreciation for you putting me into @steembasicincome
That was a really big boost, so thank you.

You're welcome! and thank you I would be honored if you use me as an example :)
