THANK YOU STEEMIT!

......

Hi peeps :)

Well, It is the first day of March and I am SOOOOO excited
to share this news with all of you....

......

As many of you will know,
In January this year, I made the decision
to close my design and print business of 11 years
and blog full time on Steemit.

It was an exceptionally emotional decision to make,
but the stress was literally killing me,
and I knew that I simply could not go on like that!

I was heading towards a heart attack...
and that was not very appealing to me lol!

When joining Steemit approx. 8 months ago,
I honestly did NOT think it would change my life
the way it has, in such a short space of time.

I am truly happy for the first time in years!
and as of midnight last night...

my earnings on this amazing platform
have officially paid all my bills!!!

And ALL without ANY stress in my life!!!

YAYNESS!!!!!

I am so ETERNALLY grateful to the Steemit platform,
and to EVERYONE here
that has made this new life of mine possible!

I FEEL SO ENORMOUSLY BLESSED!!!

......

Yes, I have poured my blood, sweat and tears into the platform
since I started here in June 2017 -
but I KNEW it was worth its weight...
and I truly hope that me sharing this news
with everyone here, inspires and motivates those
that are new to the platform!

STEEMIT ROCKS!!!!!

And it changed my life!

True Story!!!

I am so, so, sooooooo grateful!
MWAH!

Until next time...

Much Love from Cape Town, South Africa xxx

Steemit...touching lives since 2016! I can relate to your excitement Jaynie. You have no idea how much of debts and things i have been able to achieve via steemit. Just at the right time. I know it will still help me more because i really do need it more.
Congratulations dear...

I am very glad that you are so happy - you worked hard and deserve it - one day I want to also do a post like this ☺☺☺

Thank you @anneke 💜 you have been here since I was still very much wet behind the ears and I value your kind words greatly. Thank you love 🤗

I feel your joy. I felt the same way about being able to get repairs on my small car done with what I won here on Steemit.
I had used my knowledge of American football and was able to win two pools worth approximately $600 last fall.
Now if only I can find the time to write more, I think I would see even more success here.

Thank you @tonygreene113 and I have NO doubt about that!!! ;) x

Thank you @jaynie, as always, for your inspiration and support!

Congratulations! I can't say that I'm surprised, because you obviously work your butt off, put in the time AND pour your heart and soul into this new career of yours! Way to go!

I can NOT wait for this day myself! It will be so good to take the pressure off of my husband, who has been the breadwinner for the last 25 years while I stayed home with the kids. I love that this platform gives us new avenues to work from home.

Thanks hon! And yes, this platform opens SO many doors for everyone!!! I only hope that everyone makes good use of this opportunity.

You are most welcome!

I envy you dear... I pray i become like you one day.

It is as simple as hard work @slayingdutch xxx

wow, thanks for giving us the newbies hope that we can actually make it here on steemit. I am looking forwards to a day where i will be able to say the same for myself. Dear #steeemit god, please hear my prayers and grant my wishes

hahaha @yourboynexydoor Thank you and as for the "steemit God" - focus a lot less on that and a lot more on working hard, then you will most certainly reap the rewards :) All the best on your Steemit journey!

Wow, those are very big news for everyone who is also willing to take this path. I feel that some of people will be encouraged by you. Keep it up! :)

Thank you... I certainly do hope that it inspires others!

And thank you for the support dear :)

Thanks mom xxx

this great post I appreciate appreciate your motivation.. thanks for sharing..

Thanks for sharing this post, i appreciate this motivation.

Well I am sending a big fat hug and congratulations to you!!! That is incredible, and I know you've totally earned it! Way to go! You must be so excited...the giphy's prove that haha

I can see how the decision to close up a business that you've also put your heart, not to mention sweat and tears into, must have been very difficult. I've been there! But for this to happen now makes all of that worth it!

Congratulations again!

Thank you for sharing! I really hope to be able to make steemit full time! I love this platform and everyone in it. Followed! Keep up the good work! Love Lali xx

Thanks for sharing your testimony @jaynie! It is really true that Steemit can help make a difference in people's life in practical ways like yours! You inspire to write more! Haha. Thanks once again for your hard work and effort in Steemitbloggers these few months. Rejoicing and hopping in happiness together with you @jaynie! You deserve it!❤

This is amazing. I've been here for just a few weeks and I've been able to pay for some few thing too. Its amazing how Steemit transforms lives. We've been on many other social media platforms for years, still nothing to show for it. The future is here! The future is now! The future is Steem. You deserve this @jaynie over and over again. I love youuuuuuu

Wow! Jumped in with both feet! Very cool as you were one of the first three people I knew on Steemit!

good luck !

Congratulations - however I am not sure it is good to communicate this in general for newbies and if it is good to power down or convert Steem / SBD to Fiat for that reason. However I understand if people do it.

Lol realllly??!!! This entire platform is designed and aimed at freeing people from the rat race. How is sharing this not GOOD for newcomers?!!!! There are many people here that need a little reassurance as to what hard work and persistence have to offer here on steemit.... and how is the fact that I am utilising it to support my family and live a life which is fulfilling, not a good thing?!

What is YOUR purpose for being here @uwelang if not to change the quality of your own life and that of others too?

Hey @jaynie - that was not intended to offend you in any way - no worries. I just had last week a discussion with a lady that bid voted her obvious shit post to near 1,000$ by telling her success story, that steemit made her rich etc which was obviously was a lie - you provide great content, no doubt and everyone can support their family here. My message it was not good for community might have been in your case not appropriate as i know how hard you work here for the community, apologies. I was just fed up recently with a lot ranters that attacked all system and were never happy even they only took out there money by not helping anyone.

You are a good girl and I think you are not abusing, so all fine.

No problem :)

Awww... @jaynie permit me to add prefix to your name so i can call you inspirationaljaynie because honestly you inspire me.
Congratulations to your achievements in this community, i hope to write about my achievements just as you did soon. Please do walk by my site as it will encourage me alot

Oh, it's great @jaynie! Big handclaps for you!
You worked hard, so you deserve it!

Thanks hon xxx
