Today's 5

Today's 5 New Steemians you should get to know include a small town girl who promises her blog will be "like a box of chocolates", a young man with a bit of a stutter who wants to learn eternally, a girl with the nickname Jschwag who likes her snapchat filter, a couch surfing hockey lover from Pennsylvania, and the adventure junky boyfriend of one of our Daily Five from two days ago.


So Let's get to it!





Our first New Steemian of the day is just a small town girl who had an opportunity to be an elite level gymnast but ended up pursuing other interests. @chelseajo gives a brilliant synopsis of her intents on Steem:

I plan to take you on this beautiful,messy, less than perfect, but perfect in my eyes, journey of what has been my life up to this point and beyond. This blog will hopefully be "like a box of chocolates" in that you never know what the next days blog will bring, you just know it'll be good :)

She's an adventure seeking model, wife of an older man battling cancer, and mother who is here to entrap us with her stories. Head on over and give her a warm welcome!





Next up today we meet a young man who Doesn't stutter when writing. Meet @dedicatedguy, coming to us from Venezuela. This is a young man who is well in tune with the current events in his country, and wants to do something to change it. He loves European Soccer, movies, books, and is getting in to politics. I love that he put on his verification post "Eternal Learner"! Shouldn't we all strive to be learning every day? Go on over and give him a welcome. He is bilingual English & Spanish, so welcome him in either language!






Is it possible for a total newbie to kill me? Maybe if that newbie created her account back in June, before I got here, but only got around to posting today! In Oh hai Mark!. We get to know @jshwag, who does share a picture without the Snapchat filter, which might be why she would try to kill me for choosing this picture for the digest. The odd thing about her post is, she doesn't tell us who the "Mark" from the title is.... Her name is Julieanne, being an adult is hard, and she is working on changing climate, with an effort to get her city of Hoboken carbon neutral by 2027. Head on over to her post and say hi. Just make sure you take wine with you, she has the glass ready!






Today's fourth introduction brings us to Chapter 1. Meet @lookupattheskyxx who has a passion for making hand made cards. She is in the process of creating her own Etsy page on which she hopes to spread the message of People Who Believe in Love. She is from Pennsylvania, and spent part of 2013 Couchsurfing around Europe. She loves watching Hockey (Flyers or Penguins?) and has a gorgeous Siberian Husky named Zoe. Wander over and give her a warm greeting, and maybe offer to share a couch!





Finally today, I'm doing something new. Which I guess isn't all that much of a stretch considering I've only been at this for a few days, but today I am introducing the other half of a couple I introduced previously. We looked in on @sarahjeanette, now meet her other half, @ralph101 in The choices we make, not the chances we take determine our destiny. His one goal is to make the most of every day, and based on the pictures in this post, he's up for a lot of adventure! He hasn't met a sport he didn't like, in fact he has been a college tennis coach. This is a really meaty introduction post, and I have only scratched the surface, so head over and take a look!


That's our list for December 7th. As a reminder, This is by no means an exhaustive list! There are loads of new Steemians who deserve to be checked out in the introduction posts. I encourage everyone to go and check some of the entries in this tag out for yourselves!

Thank you for the warm welcome! (Penguins, by the way!)

Good Girl!

I grew up a Penguins Fan... was watching them in the 90s when Mario and Jaromir won back to backs.... Now that I live in Nashville, it is a little tougher, but as long as they aren't playing each other in the Finals I can root for both.

Oh... wait... Damn that just happened didn't it? ;-) Happy for the Pens, but would have liked to have seen the Preds get their first.

Muahaha, yes, yes it did!! My fave thing about the Preds last season was beating the shit out of the Hawks in the first round! Also, they put up a better fight than the Sharks did in their first attempt the year before. (also, James Neal...) My least fave thing was Smashville getting country musicians to sing anthems. Gosh, that was atrocious (no offense :p)

Anyways, here's to the start of a beautiful friendship. LGP stands for both ;)

Thanks for featuring me! Really appreciate it!

You are very welcome! Looking forward to seeing you producing great content!

I just made a new post about recognizing intelectual work more often. Check it out if you like it! Thanks!

hahaha. It all suddenly becomes clear!

Welcome!

Wow, you're really doing this!
Great introductions, thank you!

Doing the best I can with the tools I have at my disposal. I have to admit I am pondering a rest day tomorrow.... But we'll see if I can summon the power to delve once again into the abyss of introduceyourself posts. hahha

Nice work once again young @mikepm74 - I was actually going to introduce one of those new Steemits in an 'ians' post... but I see I'm going to have to get up pretty early in the am to beat you in the pm.

Brilliant job once again, and I love that we're seeing links between new new Steemians and old new Steemians.

Well I suppose I should let you get to them first, If they are great steemians I am going to includethem regardless. hahaha

Hahaha, sounds fair. Let's see who the first new great steemian gets the double love.

Thank you for taking your time and creating this great post! There are so many interesting people here on Steemit and you make it easier to get to know them. Really helpful, as always! I don't fully get the Discord yet, but I will try to join Promo Steem server. There's still lot I've got to learn haha :) for example I tried to add you Mike on Discord as a friend but I don't know if I actually did it and you got the invitation, and if you got it, if it was alright with you :) I sure hope to meet you on Promo Steem! ;)

I did get the invite and accepted. But Discord is a little tough to understand sometimes. To Direct Message (DM) people you have to click the icon in the top left with three silhouettes in it, which will then open up your "People I've chatted with" List. Then you click "Friends" and you can view your actual friends list and click on people to talk to.

I channel hop... a LOT... but you can type @mikepm74 in a discord channel and if I am in that chat server it will alert me that I was beckoned. hahaha
