Our @BuddyUP community is growing and so is the quality content inside the POST POOL channels. Often, that content can be easily missed in the vast ocean of Steemit.

It’s our mission at BuddyUP to grow together, support each other and highlight the fantastic content that is created by our members. As part of that mission, we showcase talented content creators within the BuddyUP community, who also display a positive attitude and a community mindset, through our weekly curation post, Hook ‘Em Up!

THIS WEEK’S CATCH

@tamala

One of our most dedicated buddies and favourite health guru @tamala is always around trying to teach us to eat healthily and drink more water instead of those yummy sugary sodas we love. Most of us know that we should listen or at the very least not tell her that we aren't or she will send her ninjas for us.

If you aren't following @tamala you should be. She is launching her brand new Wellness SNiPs series to help us take small steps towards a healthier lifestyle.

Many of us have been through the never-ending cycle of failed diets, @tamala's Wellness SNiPs will help you break that cycle and make lifestyle changes to lead you to live a happy and healthy life.

This will be a short format wellness blog to help kickstart you into a "well-style" that works for you.

With the overabundance of information on the many different diets out there @tamala's Wellness SNiPs will offer us small, easy to digest snippets of advice to help us along our life-long health journey. She will give us the what, why and how on different tips to make the changes necessary to not only help with dieting but your overall health as well.

Are you ready to get healthy? Head on over to @tamala's Wellness SNiPs Introduction and show our lovely health mentor some love, she even made it easy for you with some copy and paste comments.

@Maquemali

Our goofy, fun-loving mother of two handsome boys has been busy on Steemit giving us a glimpse into her busy life. Taking to steem with gusto and a little help from the @WelcomeWagon, @Maquemali has been posting about the things she loves, her two boys for whom she lives every day for. She and her sister @TwoDorks are both great follows, shy and sincere @Maquemali's personality reflects in her comments and genuine engagement.

In one of her most recent ulog posts she shares another insightful look into her everyday life:

One of the hardest jobs in the world is being a mother. Our member @maquemali gives us a glimpse of those candid moments she with her 'little monkeys' and I'm sure we can all agree that they are quite adorable.

After having a tough day at work @maquemali shares with us the joy of coming home to the cute little faces that call her Mommy. Their excitement and surprise evident that mommy has returned home a bit earlier than normal.

And they're back swinging..
Oh! I wished I could swing on like them. Nothing to worry about.

Swing on over and check out @maquemali's post: My Little Monkeys. While you're there, make sure to say hello.

@Rhethypo

We are proud to have @Rhethypo as a BuddyUp member, he is an exceptional author and model @WelcomeWagon graduate who delivers great content for those fortunate enough to have discovered him.

Branching out recently into a few different types of posts he still produces great short stories as he has from the day he joined. Imaginative and with an eye for detail you should not remiss to follow along with his main stories as they will keep you reading for a long time to come.

Taking a break from his fiction series the Gatekeepers Shorts which is based on his book Gatekeepers: Unquestionable Truth he took the time to post some of his thoughts on self-censorship wherein he lends his writing talents to great effect.

---

---

Simply put, self-censorship is based on fear. It is that second-guessing one does to themselves that stops them from pressing that submit button.

Taking us with on the walk as he shares his thoughts on self-censorship, @Rhethypo helps us understand that it is good to say what must be said even if it is not a popular opinion but do not discount the value of what others are saying only because you disagree.

Be sure to give the post a read and comment to share your thoughts: Meandering Musings on Self Censorship.
