I'm just a minnow that dreams of growing up to be a whale some day. I have always loved whales and swam with whale sharks in Hol Box, Mexico and humpbacks off the Pacific. Whales are amazing creatures and very curious.
I keep feeding on Steem and growing up to someday be a dolphin, then an orca and then...
Things are looking good on Steemit. I just wanted to jot down a few cool things that I have found and curated on the platform and share my progress on the site. I have been on Steemit for 6 weeks now and feel like I'm making some progress, reading some amazing content and meeting some inspiring Steemians.
Personal Milestones
Some of my posts are getting a little whale love and getting featured on other blogs here.

I'm a growing minnow too, but I've never considered myself a minnow - more like a whale-in-training. The work, hours, and love we put here will get noticed, and the best thing we can do is just keep doing what we do. :)
