We have a  blessed opportunity to honor someone we find great appreciation for,
and to put it on the blockchain for all time!

#ThankYouForBeing is becoming a very contagious game
that amplifies the juicy feelings of gratitude we feel,
while also giving energy to the positive side of building community
here on Steemit.

I invite you to join in on the "Thank You For Being" game.
This is my fifth "Thank You For Being" post.
See my other post links below.

I dedicate this post to @noki-power!!!

I have so amazing photographs of Noki.  
She really is one of those beings that is so indescribably wise and cute,
and truly an exceptional human being,
that every moment with her is worth remembering. 

These are photographs I have taken of her at different stages of her life
since the day she blessed us with her presence on this planet!!

Noki was born at the @gardenofeden in the bathtub -
a peaceful, graceful birth - true to her nature.

Noki is now 4 years old, and may be the youngest person here on Steemit.
@noki-power's introduction post.

Her amazing life as a child raised in freedom
is being a shared through an account dedicated to her
as an investment in her future,
created in trust and managed by her father, @quinneaker.

Get a taste of @quinneaker's perspective on parenting and education
(which is, of course, the foundation for Noki's amazing life).

When you tune into the profound implications of the childhood that Noki lives,
you’ll see the potent and important ramifications of this quote:

“I believe that all problems in the world begin with parenting,
and thus all solutions lie in New Paradigm Parenting.”... @quinneaker

Dearest, most beautiful, kind, loving, wise
SWEEEET, SWEEEET, SWEEEEEEEET Nature Girl Noki!!!

You're raising my standards and challenging me to become
the being of unconditional love I wish to be.

You are the cream of my BFFs.  Juicy love just drips off of you, as you are more noble, sweet and tender hearted than anyone I know.  You always take the high road, even when others are showing their most devious, annoying or ugly side.   You are indeed a shining light in the darkness, and you do it with such ease and eloquence, because that's who you are!!

Giving gifts from her nature-found treasure basket.

You are a lover of nature like I am, spending  hours on end playing outside on the @gardenofeden land
alone with your  ponies, sticks, flowers and dirt.  

I've never known another child (except your sister, @qiqi-power) to be so aware of and familiar with the herbs, vegetables and plants grown straight from the earth as you are.  I love that you share with others what is edible and inedible, what the sprouts look like, and even what the plants/herbs are used for.   Your connection with nature is really astounding!

It's beautiful to witness how comfortable you are in your own skin.  Whether you are naked, donning layers of earth, or dancing in your sparkly gowns, you always wear your own expressive, personal, authentic style.

You engage life in such a simple and down-to-earth fashion.  It's beautiful that you need nothing to be happy, in fact making sure that others have their first pick of things, looking out for the well-being of others, their physical and emotional needs, meanwhile you're so satisfied and fulfilled through your own generous presence.

Seeing your adorable face everyday sets my heart on fire.

I wish I had recordings of all the wisdom you drop so casually,
as if everyone already understood the ways of divinity!
You're an incredibly wise child,
seeing and knowing things that are way beyond the experience
of most humans I have ever known.

Thank you for all the solutions, for being the one to take up the slack,
for showing people there is another way, and for living true to yourself.

Thank you for always being real, for always telling the truth,
for being an example of presence and unconditional love.

Thank you for dong the Noki Poki with me, for jumping with the bouncy stuffed Hello Kitty on the tramp with me, for sharing your food, your treasures, your feelings, and your heart with me.

I am eternally blessed to know you, to be best friends with you, to have my days light up with the joy that you exude, and to know that through your example, there is hope for the world through the expansion of true love.

Noki in her element - playing alone for hours at a time amongst the plants, bugs and birds.

You have changed the way I view the world, the way I look at myself, the way I look at children, and the way I look at humanity.  You're such a divine creature...I don't know how I will every repay you for the constant blessing you are in my life.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart, @noki-power.
Thank you for coming into my life and being all that you are!

Thank you for simply BEing!!
