choogirl (64) · 7 years ago

Thank you. Yes, you need some kind of plan if you don't want your crypto to be lost. If you use this link, we should both get one month free. https://lastpass.com/f?41004482

Well, this is the best post I've read on steemit in a long time. I would hate to scroll back to Day Zero (June-ish) to read how noobish I was then (and then I'd be sad by how noobish I still am now).

Still, it's a great exercise to do it, to highlight the journey and people and things you did around the context of steemit. Lest you forget. And lest everyone else forgets about the 10k bitcoin promise that is still owed.

Happy birthday!

choogirl (64) · 7 years ago

Thanks Neg. Yeah, it took some work to go through everything. I'd been jotting stuff down that I'd remembered for a few weeks, but I used http://steemworld.org to see the order of things. Since all my TA recruitment updates are dated, that made it easier to see what month I'd done stuff.

Yeah, thanks to you I chose Panamá over Belize. Belize was recommended to me by people who, well, are no longer friends. Go figure. Your advice and connections definately made the move etc. a walk in the park compared to what it could have been.

Thanks Choo!

What a journey. i'm bookmarking this so I can come back and read all those other posts! I love everything you write. Wow with Ben Lee, haha - I was pretty excited when he followed me :) I didn't quite realise you were a yogagirl? So many people to get to know properly! I'd like to get more involved with communities, but have no real idea where to start. Oh - and it's always Vegemite. My husband is marmite but I never buy it for him in horrified protest, and I buy giant jars so I has to finish them before buying marmite, but then I sneak in - bam - with another jar, and I think it's going on a year or two since we've had that rubbish in our home. xx

choogirl (64) · 7 years ago

Yes, I've been doing yoga for about 17 years now. Mostly Ashtanga but I stray every now and again depending on what teachers are around. I'm doing my own practice at the moment though so I've probably slipped into a bunch of bad habits again.

Well, you're already in the best community--Team Australia! I guess you would need to look around to see if there's other ones that take your fancy.

Lol, I don't hate Marmite, but Vegemite is obviously the superior product of the two.

I'm going to have to be way more exciting so that I have something to talk about in my own... I've only got 7 months to make something convo-worthy to happen! Yikes!

Thanks coach! Yeah I know you're in TA. I remember doing your intro and I see your stuff/comments all the time. Thanks for the invite. Malaysia is a bit of a stretch at the moment.

Steemit has been a fun and unexpected journey so far. I joined in thinking it was just a blog site, but it's so much more. I am extremely grateful for the relationships I have built both on and offline. I really respect and care about the people I talk to on a regular basis and I am very happy that they have all come into my life. I am involved in several amazing projects that I never imagined a year ago that literally took me to places I didn't expect.

wow I think it's been a fabulous year! your growth was quite good and fast, in one year you had the experiences that you have not had in any social network and now you are part of a stimulus that we have to think that wonderful things can happen to us in this platform, I see that your portfolio of friends grew in abundance and that they can always reach out to you, we do not always have that close, I really wish that your experiences continue to grow here and that you give us all that enthusiasm to continue.
