Publicly,
I've kept my name and my face off of Steemit since joining. It's been kind fun to just be a Steemit handle for this long. There is something kinda freeing about being able to write, speak and meet people through JUST my words/voice.
It kinda reminded me of writing letters back and forth to pen pals... being able to be yourself without having to worry about putting on makeup or doing your hair - you know - kinda sticking with the heart-to-heart.
Had I not brought Spunkee Monkee to light, I might have stayed in the shadows ;) It was getting pretty cozy there!
But - if you're trying to bring a project that involves families to a little higher level, then anonymity isn't really a luxury that you can afford anymore. Moms and dads like to know who is the person BEHIND the site, blog, project.
And so... it's time ๐
I don't imagine that too many people will be too curious - BUT - if you are... Here I am ๐ (also.... I am leaning into another semi-anonymous Steemian in the picture... but he's cut out since I don't have his permission to post him! Can anyone guess who???) hehe
I'll be trying to do vlog updates on what's happening with Spunkee Monkee from now on. Will try to keep them under 5 minutes when I post - so you don't get too sick of seeing my silly face. LOLOL
I'll try to upload to dtube AND youtube from now on - but sometimes dtube gives me such a hard time and I end up wasting hours trying to get it uploaded! Hopefully that's fixed now? I'll try soon!

Posted using Partiko Android
OMG, you are as beautiful as you sound!!! Gorgeous lady!!! ๐ And what's more, you have one of the most upbeat, beautiful hearts on the platform!!! ๐๐๐
I agree with you @thekittygirl.
@dreemsteem looks like such a beautiful & gorgeous female and she sounds with a so upbeat, inviting and beautiful heart, that now I'm almost tempted to reveal the anonymous me to show to everyone here her gorgeous male counterpart in the entire steem blockchain. LoL
hahahahahaha do it!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL
thank you for the compliment :) and thanks for the visit!!! :)
My pleasure babe. You are indeed a radiant girl. }:)
As for do it... I suspect it still is gonna take a couple of years more!! ;)
hehehehe well i'll wait with anticipation for those couple of years! :) and thank you for the compliment :)
thank you my sweet friend! its been fun being anonymous for this long - but... who knew a reveal could be this fun too! hehehehe
hopefully this will be the beginning of me posting my real posts again :)
Welcome beautiful!
I too at first preferred not to show my face because I want readers to connect with me via my content first instead of my face.
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes ... It's so important to connect with hearts and minds, don't you think??? I do!
But now the time has come to connect the giant, ridiculous, never-ending smile with the voice and writing!!! Hehhee
Now people can see I really laugh a lot ๐๐๐โบ๏ธ
Hahaha... I am sure you will have even more fans now!
Posted using Partiko Android
Lolol I don't know..we will see! You never know what makes people grow on the chain or even in real life...
But I'm trying not to focus on that.. (trying really hard cuz everyone wants their project to grow, right??)
but... I just want to have fun with my kids and my monkees and enjoy the process hehehee
(Which is very very hard for me.... Cuz I'm a planner!!! Lol)
Sometimes you just need to let your hair down.
I totally understand what you mean about wanting to plan on everything.
Fortunately I am not a very good follow up person on plans sometimes haha.
Posted using Partiko Android
hehehehe well i have this convention coming up in a month - and that is driving me to stay on top of everything and keep moving! so that's a good thing hehehe
I'm gonna guess Blue?
you guessed right :)
anyone who knew you for like five minutes knew the smart and talented part .. now we get to see the inside and out beauty .. nice going lady.
thanks my dear friend! i still giggle that you noticed me from the very beginning and then we officially met a year later!!!! and the rest - is history! hehehehe
think this will be a fun ride???? i sure hope so!
You look exactly like what I expected -- hair color, eyes, style, everything. (Sometimes the hit is just right on -- like this ... and that always feels great. I didn't used to be so good at it.)
Hahahaha really??? Well you should be a detective!!! Lol
It's so funny when you can match a face to a voice but I totally know what you mean! Sometimes you can... And sometimes wayyyy off! Hahahaha
Fun being seen now ๐
Googling blues shoulder, found it on the national security watchlist....
hahahahahahaha well why didn't you tell me BEFORE he came to my house!!! LOL
So Proud of You Dreem <3
Perfect Vlog
Perfect YOU!!!!
thank you @snook!!! i hope we get to see BEYOND the screen soon... shhhhhhhhhh hehehehe
i have a few more videos done... hopefully i'll get these to be consistent and fun! i'm not trying to stress myself out - just focus on the fun and the love!
thank you for the encouragement from the Queen of the Vlogs! (you!!!) hehehe
just be YOU <3
i can do that! :) night my sweet friend!
I love the video!!!
Very nice to see you.
Every bit as lovely as I imagined.
well you have a good imagination for someone who has seen me with his own eyes! LOLOL
happy you like the video - your voice is in the next one hehe

I'm learning to take my time and enjoy the ride. no need to rush or stress. I just want to have fun with this and see what happens organically and naturally!

I know who the mystery person next to you is and he's such an amazing guy ๐
I loove that picture of you and your smile is just out of this world sis ๐ I love you so much ๐ค๐
Now your face is on the blockchain baby ๐ lol
Posted using Partiko Android
Wait... who is it?
You know, @saffisara?
Tell us, who???
My sapphire friend blue-amazing -fin ๐ loves oil baths and are always looking out for us... You know him? โค๏ธ
Posted using Partiko Android
i am blockchain known! hahahahaha
hi sis!!! :) yep - he is amazing! and i love that picture of us too!!! i wish that i could post it hehehe but at least i got to share it privately with the Sapphire team and a few more luckies! hehehehe
Yes you are and a beautiful one ๐ I love your smile so much and your personality is such a fresh air. Big heart โค๏ธ
I'm so glad you and blue got to meet and spend some time together. I know he loved the beautiful environment and I belive him as you showed me pictures at one point and it's like a dream place ๐
I'm so lucky to have you in my life my firefly ๐ค๐โค๏ธ Love you!
Posted using Partiko Android
yes... now COME SEE ME!
hahahaha you're next lady! get your buns over here to hang out with me :)
@mariannewest is coming to see me on Tuesday - i'm so excited!
then - SAPPHIRE
you, @eveningart and @bluefinstudios! hehehehe
YES.. I love to come se you and I can't wait ๐ค๐
I know it will happen and then you in for a MONSTER HUUUG๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค๐ค
My buns? Sounds like something butt ish ๐ and coming from you I know it totally can be ๐๐ hahaha
Butt hug sister!
That's so awesome that you get to meet @mariannewest ๐ she's just amazing, and you have met her before right? Have a memory of that happening... Was a tree involved? ๐๐ Hahaha
๐คโค๏ธYOU โค๏ธ๐ค
Posted using Partiko Android
of course the buns !!!! hahahahahahaa
and yes - there was a tree - you have a good memory LOLOLOL
Hmmm @dreemsteem, I didn't think you'd give in, it's fun to remain behind the scenes, but I agree with your logic, dealing with the parents, all the moms and dads out there, it's way better that they see who is teaching their children, and with that FACE? That has to be the most trustworthy face on the face of the Earth! And one of the most beautiful! Coupled with the extreme heart you have just rocks!
Glad you came out!
hehehehe yep - gotta be safe with the kiddles :)
and thank you!!!! Your vote of confidence means so much to me!! It was fun being anonymous - but so far - its fun being - non-anonymous hahahahaha
This post is a great example of #whysteem? As in why steem is great? Anonymity, its not like that on Facebook, instagram or even youtube, cause you always have to link Google, and so someone always knows... Not necessarily here.
I did a post today about, #whysteem, and your post made me think of that.
P.s. i agree dtube can be really finicky
Posted using Partiko Android
yeah i was able to stay anonymous for over 2 years! and it wasn't hard to do at all :)
i did share with a handful of people - but only on my terms.
I agree about dtube - hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out soon! nice to meet you! :)
Finally a face to that dreamy voice that I always hear in discord!!!
Glad that I dropped by today and I am so proud of you!!
Will look forward to seeing this project might make me go back to Steem more often!
hehehehe thanks mav!!!! oh my goodness - how time flies! how have you been??? i think we all have needed a little break for a bit - just to recharge hehehe
i hope you're doing well and thriving!!! anything exciting going on with you?? :)
Hey, nice to see the person behind the handle! So, we should expect you to glam up from now on?
i don't really like glam. but i try to at least throw on a little lipstick now and then LOLOL
but be ready for "just woke up. no makeup. hair is crazy" dreemie too ;)
This looks like me the other day.... Except the blue was all on my tongue lolol
I had a blue.raspberry slushie and it gave me a massive brain freeze
And chest freeze
And blue tongue
Well there you are! Beautiful post, I would expect nothing less. I am so excited for your Spunkee Monkee project. I hope that it takes off for the moon!
I might mention you look very much like one of my nieces, it is uncanny. She is a school teacher up here in Pennsylvania, but it isn't you though!
maybe i AM her! hahahaha you know i used to live in Pennsylvania! hehehe
and i love the monkee bitmoji hehehehe
and thank you for always being so supportive and positive when it concerns me and the Monkees :)
sending you lots of love!
OMG

You are lovely, my sweet friend @deemsteem!!! And a beautiful heart to match! What a great gift that you revealed yourself here! I remember the very first time we met here, and I told you that I wanted to send you a token of friendship, and I recall sensing how very protective you are of your identification. That was a year ago! Have a fantastic day today, my friend. Take care.
yes!!!! I remember that well myself! hehehehe but the time has come to give Spunkee Monkee a chance! :)
thank you for visiting - its been too long since i have been away. (i have been posting actifits to keep me a bit engaged... but i actually forgot some of the code to write my regular posts hehehehe)

You are so pretty and talented! I love your drive.
I remember you showing us a picture of yourself back in WW training, but I still need time to connect everything and process it.
Stay awesome, do you.
So excited for you, IdeeaLeeah.

hahahahahah this is why you are amazing ;)
thanks @blind-spot!! I happen to think you have some pretty amazing drive yourself! hehehee
And she's finally out ๐๐๐
Wow, ma'am you are quite a beauty to behold. Your voice had always just been enough, listening to you on discord and hearing the smile and kindness in your voice.
Now that we have a face to attach to all that, the picture is finally complete.
๐น
thank you so much @klynic! I love that you got to appreciate my heart by just listening to me in shows! hehehe I appreciate you coming to visit me :)
Good to meet you Leah ๐
Looking forward to hearing about the next stage of Spunkee Monkees.
Thank you @Pennsif! I am happy to have fun with this and not take myself SOOOOO super seriously ;)
that helps with enjoying the process i think! hehe
Finally, the face that launched a thousand monkees....wait no that sounds wrong.
The face behind the spunkee......oh god no thatโs worse.
Well I hope your project continues to grow, and explode all over the internet now your true identity has been revealed!
