I wish to thank and give appreciation to the Steemit community and all of my followers. I especially want to thank @luzcypher for showing me this most wondrous platform known as Steemit.

I signed up in September of 2016 but didn't post until December of the same year. There have been many changes and forks to Steemit since my arrival. One thing that has remained a constant is that Steemit is becoming better and better.


My belief in Steem and crypto currency has led me to live in one of the most beautiful places on Earth.

I rode the waves of doubt and speculation and even took a 3 month hiatus from this platform and found myself marveling at how I've grown along with Steemit. I powered down unfortunately but that was also part of my personal test to Steemit. When I left I had 700+ followers now I have 1000+.


Tonight I shall be celebrating a birthday @donnaincancun and my own. More importantly it coincides with my third Steemit meetup and that just proves how much of a positive impact it's had on my life.

Team Cancun has been born and greater achievements are yet to come. I shall be posting about tonight's Steemit meetup and look forward to meeting our newest members. 😁

So once again I thank @ned and everyone in this magnificent community for making a monumental change in my life.
