Share the Love! Challenge for December 2017 - 20 Steem or More for our Winner
Hi Steemunity!
Welcome to our second Share the Love! challenge. We had some awesome shares the last time around and I'm looking forward to seeing some more love.
Tis the season!
Let's Get To It!
The rules are simple, it's all about appreciation. You know those people in your feed that you love to see everyday and add value to your world? We want to acknowledge them!
Write a comment on this post about another Steem member that has made this platform an enjoyable place for you. They may consistently deliver good content, they may have helped you with something, or you may have a story about them. Whatever it is, I want you to tell us how they've made Steemit a better place.
Resteem this post to Share the Love!
That's all there is to it and you'll be entered to win.
Of course we hope that you participate too, so come back often and upvote those comments that you like the best! It'll help in deciding who the final winners will be.
Judging & Rewards
Entries are accepted up until the post payout date. When this post pays out the contest will be considered done and @coruscate and I will judge the top vote getters and make an ultimate decision on the winner.
The reward will be 20 Steem or the total liquid SBD payout of this post whichever is greater! That amount will be split between the person with the best comment and the Steem member that the comment is about.
That's It! So Let's See It Steemit, Share the Love!
@captaincanary have been the guy on steemit that's just there no matter what. From one of my first posts and up to now it feels like he was on my whole trip. Although he have been a bit inactive lately I still enjoy his presence from time to time. Also we have this funny non-verbal agreement that we 100% upvote each others comment, just because we can. Haha. We have not talked about doing it we just do it cause we supported each other from the very start. We are like partners in crime.
Great share, I'll have to give him a follow. Cool that you guys have been supporting each other like that. I think it helps to stay engaged with the platform when you have those circle of friends that you can consistently count on to throw some support your way.
My shout out this month is to @steemmatt. If you guys haven't followed him yet you definitely should.
He's just a straight up cool dude who brings a ton of value to the platform. His posts and comments are always well written and thoughtful and his personality and perspective are well conveyed.
If you haven't checked out his post about using Steem to help those in need, you totally should. He's also got a great sense of humor and can put down the beats.
Hello @raised2b, I second @steemmatt after reading that link you shared. What a noble effort from him. My two thumbs up!. Have started following him also. Thanks and Have a nice day!
Woah! I just saw this when randomly browsing your posts. Thanks a million for your kind words and recognizing the effort we all put forth. I'm not good with compliments, but I think Thank You should suffice for now.
It sure does, glad to have you around here. How else would I have seen that awesome ethereum gif :)
I like to give a shout out to @dswigle
Denise is a community builder if I have ever seen one. She started the #marketfriday challenge and sends a tip to all participants. Not only one, but two. One on their post where she also leaves a long and thoughtful comment.
and another one on the link dropped in the comments of her post - accompanied by another comment.
I have a feeling she even buys steem to be able to be so generous with the community. Because her generosity doesn't stop with supporting people who participate in her challenge. You can find her on many different blogs commenting and giving upvoting love and tips. And her comments are long and thoughtful and encouraging.
She also is one of the founding members of steemusa and a member of the alliance.
Lots of her time is spent supporting others and helping to make this platform great!
I haven't had much interaction with @dswigle, but from what I have heard about her, I'll have to second you @mariannewest. She does seem like a great person!
She really is, Sharon. Are you part of the allianace?
Yes I am :)
Hello @mariannewest! Oh, my! You could have knocked me over with a feather! I am so flattered that you think I add value to anyone's world! Thank you, thank you. That is such a wonderful honor for me to even be nominated. Win or no win, I feel like you have awarded me the biggest prize of all.
I is a huge honor to be a part of #steemusa and #thealliance. I will be Steemin on now!
Thank you again! xoxo
How can you even think otherwise for one second!! You are supporting and nurturing and helping so many people on this platform. I really do appreciate you and all you do!!
xoxo
I give you my vote too. First, I thought I just need to upvote your comment to show my support. Also @raised2b, can I upvote someone else's nomination if I have given my own?
thank you Sharoon. I supported you too :)
All votes and comments go to helping us decide on the winners and you can vote on as many nominations as you'd like :)
Thanks for sharing :) It sounds like she's definitely been a model of a great Steemian.
She is. So, I need to have people come here and say vote in a comment, right?
Yeah, the more folks you have upvote your comment about her, the better the chances of you both winning :)
Here's a vote!
thank you!!!
I support this nomination!!
I absolutely support this nomination Denise is without a doubt one of the most supportive and kind people I know on Steemit
Her thoughtful comments are or should be legendary
Supported! Go @dswigle .. asap I'll check your great profile, for what I read from my friend Marianne, this community needs more people like you 😉
I would love to give a shout out to @ecoinstant. He is one of the coolest and most compassionate people I know of on Steemit. He is always supporting others and appreciating their work with kind words, meaningful comments, upvotes and treeplanter upvotes. Also, he has a very positive vibe to himself that is infectious. What I love most about him is his creativity and the ability to see things from different perspectives. Also, he is a big believer in keeping the environment green and is trying his best to help out lots of people in the community. I have lots of other people I love on Steemit but since we were asked to name one, my pick is Alex @ecoinstant.
Great comment! Thanks a lot for stopping by and letting us know about him. I'm glad I'll get to follow him going forward :)
You are welcome and thank you for this great curriculum. It is a great way to shine light on the so many amazing people here on Steemit that not everyone knows of.
lovely pick, YES!
Thank you and @eco-alex, you deserve a mention here too for all the support you are showing to everyone and helping the community become more pleasant with the help of @ecotrain.
thank you dear! you have a good heart!! a very good heart!
Aww that's so kind of you to say that. <3
Good man!
@ecoinstant is a great guy!! and also super supportive in this community!! We need 2 prices!!! lol if Denise is the chosen one - my half can go to @ecoinstant.... And I gave a vote for him too :)
Awww @marianne aren't you just the kindest! Hugs.
This sounds like a great challenge!! I'd like to give a big shout out to my friend @icedrum: he was one of the first few people I connected with on Steemit when I joined. A really friendly guy, he helped me at the beginning with any Steemit related queries I had. His blog content is varied and interesting, he shares topics such as Space news, art and beautiful surf videos amongst many other things. You should all check him out! :D
Hadn't come across either of you yet. Thanks to both of you for stopping by and participating, just expanded my Steemit world a bit :)
Thank you so much magiccleatus!
It has been a real pleasure! - Your art and graphics are superb. Plus your knowledge of game play, and design is quite brilliant! I would strongly urge all artists and gamers to check out the @magiccleatus blog!
keep well :D
I’d like to share some love with @soykatonline. Not only is she a brilliant musician, but also a really engaged community member. I always see her giving thoughtful and encouraging feedback to those who participate in the open mic challenge - which is pretty impressive considering how many people enter every week!
Definitely head over to her page, listen to her music, and show her some love!
OMG! Thank you so much for such sweet words! you have made my night! i did not expect this at all!!
i am honored that you even thought of me! ♥
I Admire you so much! as a musician, as a writer , as a steemian, but mostly as a person.. for the little time that i have spent talking to you i have realized what nice, loving and kind person you are! so thanks a lot! ♥ (i don't even know if i was allowed to reply back to this but i did anyway because i needed to let you know how much this means to me.. you being the sweetest person ever)
i am guessing, since you are a judge here.. that i can't nominate you?? or can i? lol
Aww I’m so glad to hear my comment had such a positive impact on you! You are an amazing member of the Steemit community, and I hope this nomination helps more people find you! :-)
Since I am a judge, I would not be eligible to be entered, but thank you for thinking of me! If you think of someone else to nominate, you should totally do that! You guys could both win a little SBD. :-)
thank you sweetie! ♥
This is a really hard question for me because i have met so many great people on steemit in the past few months. Can i do more than 1? Lol
Gotta keep it to one. There's a new challenge every month though so you should be able to save them up and get to everyone eventually :)
Hy @raised2b and everyone, I'am from Indonesia and I'm join in the contest, Voted & Re-steemed
I want to share some love for my friend @xpilar in Norway, He is the father and generous for me as the newbie steemian, He is from Fredrikstad, One of the cities in Norway. Spend time in the mouth of the Glomma river Norway.
He is very helpful me in this platform to continue grow with the community, Although the distance between Indonesia and Norway is so far away, But our communication are always together in steemit, In fact we want to create a kind of contest together for the newbie steemian like me to keep growing together, He shares love with many people around the world, Many friends from various countries also love to talk with him, He is very wise. Even I'm immortalize my experience with him on this platform for three months I was joined here.

I announce everyone and take a walk through his blog. There is many things we can learn from.
Thank you so much, Regard from Indonesia :)
What a great share, thank you! Your comment embodies one of the things I love about this platform, it's a wonderful melting pot of people and cultures. I don't think I've ever experienced another place where people can connect from around the world the way they can here.
Yup I think so, This platform is Amazing, Thank you so much for anntention, I would come montly to this contest, And also will share love to some people in the world with this platform
Regard from Indonesia
I fully agree like I am in Malaysia and @dilimunanzar in Indonesia. Being me who is very much introvert, I could not even talk to him if we meet on street. And here we are, we just click through here. That's amazing right. All of us from different culture and background have friends beyond boundaries, just because we are here in Steemit. What a great place created using technology for humankind to kindly interact with each other. Kudos also to you for creating this great contest. Thumbs up @raised2b. Have resteemed, upvoted and followed.
That's a wonderful share as well! Very cool story. We are really one big family that finally has a cool place to hang out and connect :)
I support @dilimunanzar. Steemian @xpilar is a kind soul who has helped many newbies here. I have participated in one of his contest and saw hundreds of participations like everyone is united there and he kindly responded to everyone patiently. My vote with you. 😊
Oh my dear Bunda @ainie.kashif thank you so much bunda..Are you in the @xpilar contest for yesterday Bunda? Check it out..I want to read..I want to read.. :)
Okay ananda @dilimunanzar, bunda dengan segera akan ke sana and participate with everyone. See you there!
I am extremely grateful for @luzcypher who introduced Steemit to me two weeks ago.
I met him accidentally, as I was house sitting for one of my friends in Mexico and @luzcypher is the neighbor of my friend. We started talking and when he told me what he does for a living, it totally blowed my mind. I became so excited and registered immediately, because this is exaclty what I was looking for. I started posting healthy food recipes on Instagram and Facebook a couple of month ago, because I am very passionate about helping people heal their diseases, maximize their health, etc.. And once I heard about Steemit, I saw a huge potential in it immediatey. This is an awesome community where I can spread the word, and hopefully help thousands of people healing themselves or simply be healthy.
Anyway, I started working on Steemit immediately and @luzcypher shared my introduction post on his page, which was a huge help for me to get started. He also promised to me that he is going to transfer the SBD he earns with sharing my introduction post and guess what? I've just recieved it. He is such a grear, generous person, who has a big heart.
I am extremely grateful for @luzcypher for telling me about Steemit, helping me to get started and sharing his knowledge with me.
And I'm also very thankful for being part of such a great community!! I can resonate with many of my followers and with people who I follow. We have so many things in common, we can inspire each other and we communicate every day. It is such a heart filling feeling to have our own "Steemit Family", especially while I'm 10.000km (6000mi) away from my real family.
What a beautiful share and wonderful story! @luzcypher is definitely one of Steemit's best. He's pretty much a shining example of what a great steemian looks like and has had a direct impact on helping shape what the community looks like today just by being who he is and doing what he does.
Welcome to Steemit, we're glad to have you :)
Thank you very much :)
What a lovely idea for a challenge - I'd love to join in!
I'd like to share some Steemit love with @sallybeth23! An avid Steemer, her posts are eye-catching - her macro photography is so colourful and mesmerising and always stands out beautifully in my feed!!
Not only is her content interesting, she is super engaged in the community, I haven't been on Steemit long but I don't think she's missed a single one of my posts, always upvoting, resteeming and giving me the most wonderfully encouraging feedback on my work. A lovely woman whom you should all check out and follow :)
Wow! Thanks for the shout out @gardeningchef That is really so sweet of you. Have a steemy day!
Thanks for the share, I haven't come across her yet and am looking forward to checking out her blog :)
No problem. Thank you for coming up with a positive challenge :)
