My main motivation for being sooo immersed lately in Steemit has been the ability I was blessed with to help others, without the voting power I can't do much of that beyond words which unfortunately the reality is I can do that much more effectively on facebook with my following on there. Most y'all here know whats up and that makes this a haven for me for sure. I understand that many on Steemit are motivated to make an income doing what they love and that's super awesome but it's not something that is a motivator for me. I get by with what I have and don't need extra money beyond a desire to give. Though I was able to to fund a superior generator that makes it so I spend less on gas from the baby goat post that @blocktrades so generously upvoted. Thankyou!!!
I will still play here as I deeply value the connections I've made, though I do suspect they will be better made now that I don't have as much influence and for that I am thankful as it will show who is actually here to form relationships with me. However, I was unhealthily spending 5+ hours on here nearly every single day and right when I was about to take a break from facebooking to learn piano and read some books over the winter. So this is a much needed break but I'm not leaving, I just really need to spend some time away from the computer. I love you all & Steemit very much and look forward continuing to learn from and grow with you so we can smash paradigms and change the world! <3

Thank you @fulltimegeek for all you do for this wonderful community, it is helping so many lives and that is extremely uplifting for me and that is the main reason I love Steemit so much. And a big thankyou for granting me the ability to help too by involving me in Stewards of Gondor, it means a lot being a hermit who rarely leaves the house to be able to make change & touch others from home beyond just words.
Despite being ostracized and the hurt I feel as a result, I want to give a big thank you to @wwf for my time in Stewards of Terra Mater. You helped me significantly in building up my own influence and I am very grateful. I would like to believe I am still a part of the group in spirit.
A big thankyou to @lyndsaybowes for the delegation in these times of turbulence and giving me back the slider bar!! I will use it wisely and with great joy!!! <3
