i loved reading this! i love that you're here and that that wonderful synchronicity led you here.. i am a true believer in them myself :) all along i wasn't sure if we had met or something at a gathering in our past shared state, haha but alas it all comes together!

and i feel SO the same way.. i took part in a contest today, too! to try to win a delegation of 500 sp and it felt weird to talk myself up. i think i was raised very similarly, to always be humble and let OTHERS talk you up!

Well, @suesa, if you're listening, i will talk @schoonercreek up ... she most undoubtedly deserves your delegation. She posts 100% quality content all the time (just so happens to also be about stuff i love and find interesting too ;)), and I know she'll use it to create a strong account and better the community. And further her awesome work she does in the world, which is at the root of it all <3

Good luck!
