Stewards of Terra Mater - Still growing strong after 4 months!

in ungrip •  7 years ago 

Tomorrow marks 4 months that the Stewards of Terra Mater have been going.  I added two more stewards today and I wanted to introduce them to you.  @yogajill is working on her spiritual growth, is deeply involved with yoga and healing.  @foxyspirit is a mom, bakes beautiful pieces of art and also trains in the martial arts.  What I like about these two ladies is the peaceful approach to life that they decided to walk and the support that they show people with their posts and interactions with others.  Their actions speak volumes and it is top notch.  They express their beautiful spirits in their writings and spirit moved me to support their efforts here on steem.  So if you want a couple people to follow and interact with, I would recommend any of the stewards that are part of the Stewards of Terra Mater.

I started the Stewards of Terra Mater as a way to pay it forward, support new users and encourage participation within the steem blockchain community.  @taskmaster4450 stepped up and delegated steem to help me continue my efforts to empower others by giving and paying it forward.  For his generosity I am grateful!  Strong community is what I desire and only by helping others rather than tearing them down can we accomplish that goal.  I chose peace, not war.  I chose prosperity, not scarcity.  I chose gifting, sharing and cooperation, not greed or competition.  

@cheneats and @yagoub  have both received delegations in the past and as such I consider them honourary members.  The current list of Stewards include:

@earthmother
@skycae
@carey-page
@harvardhomestead
@realtreebivvy
@salmanbukhari54
@mistermercury
@borrowedearth
@yogajill
@foxyspirit

To help the stewards, I've been keeping track of their progress and @earthmother has been doing a spectacular job with her blog over the past few weeks.  In fact, she has done so well, I expect her to be a minnow in a few weeks.  Fantastic job to you @earthmother.

I suspect the group has lost some momentum with the price of steem.  No worries, there are days where I have felt the same.  However, keep writing, participating and forging ahead.  It is determination and a strong desire to succeed that will help establish healthy prosperity within this community.  For me, it is not about the money but instead is about the community, sharing ideas and influencing peace to prosper in our world.  

One of the stewards wrote a nice blog for new users.  I agree with what he wrote.  Nice job @mistermercury!

I've written some posts during my rise to become a dolphin on this platform.  If you are new to steem, here are my thoughts on how you can increase your success on this platform:

Until next time, I encourage the team to keep working on their blog, interacting with one another, helping others and paying it forward.  That is how we build strong communities.  If we can do it here, then we can do it out 'there' as well!  

May Creator bless you all with peace, freedom, prosperity, joy and love.

WHAT a great member to add to the group!!!

They are both wonderful! <3 I'm glad you stopped by to comment. I do miss interacting with you. I struggle to visit everyone now that spring is here and I've been working on helping people heal. Takes me away from here as I can no longer spend 8+ hours a day here. I'm glad you and your Golden Ambassadors are doing well. <3

SAME HERE! I've been doing more curation and some behind the scenes things on steemit the last few weeks. I still do comment as much as time allows; and now hubby is back on 12 hours-7 days a week starting yesterday. Makes me sad... it does allow more time on steemit and Discord but... I sure will miss that guy A LOT starting today.

Helping people heal and recognize the source of pain (emotional, mental and spiritual) can be time-consuming.. but so much relief, recovery and self-love can come from it.

12 hours x 7 days a week, that sounds like slave work. He does not get any time off? 84 hours a week sounds excessive. I pray for you both. Let's work hard to bring value to steem so that he no longer has to work! <3

Yes, helping with the healing process takes a tremendous amount of energy. But the rewards are soooooo worth the effort. No better feeling that to witness somebody break through their barriers and find joy, peace and love in their life again. It is spectacular!

He had a few days off right before and during Easter. He works this schedule usually two weeks a month then switches to 1/2 day Saturdays and no Sundays. We're used to it... but I miss the ol' guy when he's gone so much.

Plus when he works these extra hours we either sock the money away, pay off another medical bill or incidental thing. One more step towards that final freedom and being debt-free 100% and having our property for retirement.

That is a great sacrifice that he is doing. Bravo to the two of you for doing everything you can to be free. Debt is one of the most evil slave instruments in use today. You have my support and encouragement as you both venture towards freedom. <3

I love BOTH of these women!!! I am so grateful for all that they share.
Thank you so much for all your help, it is hard to believe that 4 months has gone by so quickly!!! So many great friendships, such a great supportive community.

Strong community is what I desire and only by helping others rather than tearing them down can we accomplish that goal. I chose peace, not war. I chose prosperity, not scarcity. I chose gifting, sharing and cooperation, not greed or competition.

I cannot thank you enough. It is my hope to pay it forward. Keeping momentum with what has been created here.
Have an amazing day everyone!!

Good job! You are doing an amazing job and I love what you share. Your Monday blogs, even though you said it helps you categorize and be organized, it is giving me input that I can write down too. I learn from you everyday!

You are doing great my friend. We do this together, not apart. Friendships are what makes it all work. <3

I have to be honest, I did not expect to be introduced, and to my surprise I am! I am touched with what you wrote.
I love how you support everyone, how you speak/write is unique and uplifting. Very positive and heartfelt.
I am pleased to meet everyone and I am currently working on reading some of their blogs. This will take me some time. I look forward to it all.
Thank you for adding me to the group. I am most grateful to be a part of it.
Much love and respect!

You are welcome. You have done beautiful work in the past and it is the least I can do to support and encourage your work. May you continue to bless people with your beautiful posts, encouragement and support! Keep up the great work!

Thank you ^_^ I will do my best
