WOW! Finally Back On Steemit! So Much Has Happened In 8 Months, I Am Stoked To Recap and Reconnect!

in #introduceyourself7 years ago (edited)


WOW!


I am finally back on Steemit! After writing an average of almost a post a day for 4 months and 2,500 comments in that time, it has now been 8 months since my last post!



Amazing how time flies…..SOOO much has transpired in my life since my last post and I am grateful to see that upgrades for a healthy Steemit economy have transpired here as well!



When I first joined Steemit, the potential was awesome but it was right as all the easy multi hundred dollar and multi thousand dollar trending posts were starting to disappear. The value of steem was dropping and lots of people were complaining about the low value of posts and the constant dropping of $Steem. 


When I stopped posting, it was because I went on a very long adventure to South America to look into building a New Eco Village there (for anyone not aware I founded www.intothegardenofeden.com and we are in preparations for expansion!). We also gave birth to our third child, first boy and now a duel citizen with duel passports! We did all this in a third world country that we don't speak the language, without hospitals, doctors our own vehicle or access to almost any resources we are used to having here in the States. What an experience that was!


I always believed in Steemit, from when I first started researching it and even when the value of $Steem was down to under 10 cents, sometimes as low as 3 cents, I was using writing articles and getting $1 or even less for a post. Here is my first post ever of which clearly communicated the powerful potential of Steemit! Why Steemit is so important and even REVOLUTIONARY


The truth is that Steemit is on the Blockchain. We Steemians actually have the power to take Steemit into our own hands and make it whatever we want. The potential is endless and the foundation is quite strong. I am stoked to see that the value of Steam is the highest it has been in a year and that we have more active users than ever! This is a great testament to the dedicated participants in this community! 



This is just proof that we have the power and MORE incentive to invest our time and knowledge into this platform instead of some corporate slave machine like FB. In truth once I started using Steemit I declared I would no longer make posts on FB besides posting my Steemit Articles! hahahahaha and I have lived up to that very well. In the year since I joined I have basically only shared other FB posts and spent almost no time on FB whatsoever besides answering some messages and sharing Steemit articles!


We have also turned on hundreds of people to the potential of Steemit and even wore our Steemit Gear, here is our PeerHub account where you can get EPIC Steemit Gear for $Steem! (can see one of many posts of my Steemit Fashion Line here)  to festivals, fairs and shows around the country.  We have hosted Steemit Meetups (post about that here), been a part of Steemit conference calls and much more. 



So I have A LOT of awesome posts to share as I intend to get back into posting on Steemit. I will continue on with my Steemit Fashion line, and feeding people free sustainable meals, housing people and educating people with the proceeds! 



For this post I mostly wanted to catch back up a little bit, communicating how awesome this community is, that I always believed in and am ready to keep contributing to the health and wealth of this thriving platform!


I have thousands of photos from my travels in South America, lots of cultural interest as well as my growing children and family to post about! In a post tonight or tomorrow I will write a brief recap of the last 8 months and then will write more in depth posts about any facets of that time that YOU request. 



@gardenofeden is of course still posting awesome posts, so be sure to follow them if you don’t already. 


I am super happy to be back and as always welcome questions and comments from my fellow Steemians. 

I want to give a shout out to some users who have been a very valuable part of this community and who I am excited to re connect with again as I get back into the SteemVortex!

@papa-pepper one of the most prolific and helpful Steemians we have EVER had here on Steemit!

@theprophet0 the youngest witness to ever be here on Steemit and has contributed lots of Steem to @gardenofeden of which is a truly noble cause feeding tens of thousands of FREE meals a year!

@kevinwong a smart and honest guy who has contributed SOO much to this steemit community an accurate list is almost impossible!

@acidyo someone who I have gotten along with, had some good conversations with and who has made a lot of posts with real value even if controversial, that helps set the standard for what posts of value have here in this community. 

@steemrollin the founder of PeerHub of which has so much potential to not only help the Steemit economy and value of $steem but to shift the economy of the world as a whole. Regardless of if PeerHub is the platform to do it or not the idea is sound and has the potential for  such power. 

@tuck-fheman haven't had many personal conversations with the infamous account but there are very few if any who have stirred things up more here in Steemit and who have a piercing intelligence of which is very difficult to challenge. 

@infovore u have helped so many people get exposure and brought the community together while being generous and humble. I know because u have treated me that way and have seen u treat many others this way too. I hope to reconnect with you and help make this Steemit Community better than ever!

@ausbitbank hope ur still keeping it real, challenging what needs to be challenging and bring sound logic and research to Steemit! Appreciate so much that u have done for holding high standards for this community. 

@pfunk though u remain infamous your actions have shown how much you care and live to your ideals. Your contributions to the growth and enjoyment of this community is great and I hope to interact with what you have going on now that I am back!

@benjojo hope ur still making those cool and unique comics and bringing the best out in other artists as well. 

@kus-knee looking forward to some love from my "old dog" friend hahaha

@roelandp Thank you SO much for getting the first SteemFest together, I heard it was amazing! Hope To make it this year and experience the awesomeness first hand!

@gandalf u have one of the best names EVER! hahahahaha

@richardcrill thank you for all you have done to support not just me but @gardenofeden @shelliesmith and of course Steemit as a whole. U have brought so much value to this community. Not just in good content but a real genuine care for this community. I hope to be able help you make Steemit even better than ever!

@gardenofeden has been a big time contributor to the Steemit economy with not just a lot of valuable posts, but I also started a “Sustainable Steemit Fashion Line”, which we make available on PeerHub for steem. We also have many other items from our sustainable community available for steem!

@saramiller has been rocking Steemit with Epic Steemit Gear, Yoga Wisdom and supporting the expansion and well being of The Garden of Eden here on Steemit for almost a year now!

@everlove the biggest supporter in my life thus far and who has contributed so much friendship, joy and creativity to Steemit with all her art collaborations, photography and peaceful healthy wisdom!

I am super grateful for all the support I have gotten in the past every up vote helps even without comments or interactions. I have also read lots of valuable posts from users who I have not interacted with and that is another thing I love about this community. We need not be friends or even communicate to exchange value

Welcome Back

Thanks for the support!
Good luck on Steemit!

Welcome!

Thanks so much!
I appreciate the support and hope to be able to create content of real value and worth your valuable time!

Welcome back. I just came back to my home country after traveling and hitchhiking around South America for 2 years. I didn't know how to start over and how to get back on my feet again. Then this week, I just started writing about my travel experiences and my spiritual journey. The good and bad experiences, the hardships and danger I have encountered. I started getting upvotes for some reason, even though I don't totally understand the system yet lol. My friend doubted me, he said it is too good be true. Easy money.

What I have been through wasn't easy actually. To those who believe, thank you!

Let us read your fresh stories from South America!

Wow what a great story!
Congrats on ur success with Steemit! Not everyone succeeds but there sure is a lot of potential here!
Hope to see you around and write articles worth ur time!

Thanks, I 'm happy. Check out my lessons learned from South America!

As usual, even a basic download from you is full of profound gems like the following:

We need not be friends or even communicate to exchange value

What an important observation about human connection! You are certainly the epitome of community, and I'm really excited to see you back in the digital realm. You're a huge inspiration for me, and I'm glad more people are going to get some exposure to that power

I'm looking forward to pictures and stories from Ecuador, especially the one about having your baby at the bus station 🚍

I like how you are seeing the gems in "even a basic article". Life is truly gem of profound potential and the facets infinite. I appreciate your support and feel fulfillment in seeing you evolve and your perception honed. Great to see how much success u have had here on Steemit since beginning almost a year ago. I may have brought you to Steemit but now i have to catch up ;-)> hahaha

LOL--It's amusing and inspiring that even though you've been out of the Steemit loop for awhile, you still have valuable perspective and insight to share with me about it that enhances my game! Thanks for sharing potential! Thanks for generosity! Thanks for guidance and perspective! Thanks for your awesome self!!!!

Hahahahahahaha all of life is energy, all of our experience based on consciousness. When living an energized and conscious life then one brings energy and consciousness to any situation. I appreciate that you are aware and open enough to see and fine tune!
Life can keep getting better and better~*~

Although my name was not in the list I am super excited to see you back where your light shines for the world. Everyday, multiple times, I give you thanks in my heart for the upgrades my life now has thanks to your support and believing in me for so many years.

You set the bar high and show the world what is possible. Today I am on top of the world and it is greatly accredited to you.

I really appreciate the comment. It means a lot to me. I am grateful that you are living it up "on top of the world" and I am very grateful that even now "on top of the world" that you are giving me credit appreciation and even a "photo on top of the world, accredited to me"
I hope ur life gets better and better. I hope that one day we will be together again "In Eden" feasting and laughing.
Bless~*~

Awesome to have you back!

So awesome to have your support! Hope to be able to make posts worth your valuable time!

Hey I remember you from back in the day :) Welcome back earthling !

p.s. you spelled papa-pepper's name wrong in your mention of him

Hey!
Great to be back! It was a bit tough getting the steemit post together hahaha forgot how many elements there are to composing a good post! I will go in and edit for sure!
Thanks for the heads up and welcome back!

My pleasure @quinneaker. I've gotta get back into posting more soundpoems myself. I've just been curating and commenting and generally lurking. Congrats on the new little earthling :)

Thanks! There is nothing wrong with just "lurking" especially if u are voting and commenting. These are also potentially very valuable contributions to the community!
Hope to be seeing you around!

I fixed it and just fyi you spelled it wrong too haha ;-)>

ha! I just fixed mine :)

hahahahaha

Welcome back! @saramiller @everlove and @gardenofeden are some of my favourite accounts. Your work is inspirational! Thanks for sharing and looking forward to reading your future posts. Upvoted and followed ✨

Greetings!
So great to hear you have been following and supporting those accounts! They are some of my favorite too ;-)>
I am truly grateful that you find my work inspirational as that is my intention. I figured out how to live a very free and abundant life long ago and have dedicated my life for over a decade to inspiring and providing viable solutions for others to improve life. Hope to continue to do so and see you along the way!
Bless~*~

For someone like me it is inspirational to say the least. I'm trying to be as brave and bold in my life so I may help others along the way too, but baby steps! Have a wonderful day ✨

Small or large progress is progress. I often say if every day we progress even a little bit it ads up to a LOT. Especially when compared to most people who are quite stuck, stagnant, scared, in debt etc etc. Focus and strive but don't stress!

Focus and strive but don't stress, I like that!

Exactly~*~

Followed! Welcome back! Is there a link to your Steemit clothing line? I'd love that shirt that you have on in some of these pics!

I will put the link to our account here from which u can check. However if there is ANY Steemit clothing item u want I can have it made!
So not sure what shirt ur talking about. Do u have a PeerHub account? If so u can check a lot of our items here https://www.peerhub.com/items/6888-epic-shreds-steemit-t also be sure to check out our web site www.intothegardenofeden.com and then as I said any steemit gear u want just let me know and I will get it to u.
Be in touch~

Welcome back to Steemit! Where can I get one of those Steemit shirts?

Great question!
U can send a steemit message/comment with a link to any of the gear u have seen and liked, u can check out our peer hub store or request a custom piece the way u want it!
They are are super cool and super sustainable and will surely improve ur payouts here on Steemit!

Welcome back brother! Full of energy as always xD

BAM!
Its great to be back, I have a lot of life flowing and I hope to be able to spread some of that around here on Steemit! I have had so much going on for many months I couldn't make SteemFest and haven't posted on here for 8 months hahahaha wow how time flys!
Maybe see u there this year?!?!

I, for one, am extremely excited that you are infusing some energy back into Steemit @quinneaker. I feel Steemit is the digital version of the @gardenofeden, such complimentary values and opportunities for building community. It will be awesome for Steemians to tune into the awareness you have to share and the potent perspective that has proven to change the lives of thousands and thousands. May you continue your humanitarian efforts that put unconditional love back into the equation and may Steemians be inspired by the example you set through simply living. The world is a waaaayyyy better place because you're in it. I'm grateful that you continue to share such potent, infinite possibility. Steemit is in for a blessing. <3 Thank you for being..<3

As always EverLove I appreciate your support and all that you do for the world!

You're the type of person I want to follow, you have a huge heart for the community of Steemit and humanity as a whole.

You and I and a long with many others here on Steemit want to create a better and fairer world, where even the smallest voices can be heard and rewarded for their thoughts and passions.

I wish to upload more and really start getting involved with the community, because it is only right for everyone to be allowed freedom for their imagination and creativity.

You have inspired me, and look forward to reading more of your posts.

Thank you and Welcome back!!!
