1 Year on Steemit: It's My Birthday And I'll Power Up If I Want To!
Hey Steemians,
I hope everyone is doing good this lovely Friday! The weekend is almost upon us so I'm sure you all are dusting off your party pants!
Soooo @mimismartypants just turned 1 on steemit. 5 days ago, @steemitboard left me this milestone message....
"Woweeee!" is what I thought to myself when I saw this notification 🔔! I made it. With 196SP in tow! Not too bad considering my growth was purely organic and i took a 5 month sabbatical after the little miss was born!
Still, I honestly thought i would be a minnow by now! So in the spirit of reaching minnowhood in the next 6 months and celebrating my steemit birthday, i decided to power up!! Going all in!
All In Birthday Power Up
So I topped up my dusties, cashed in my SBD and i had a total of 31.905 steem to power up on! And now I'm on a total of 228.260 SP!! Almost halfway there (Woah, livin' on a prayeeeer - i could not resist)!
Thanks To Those Who Helped My Journey Thus Far
It's been a long road and so much has happened since those first months when i signed up to the blockchain and waited weeks to get my account approved! Here's the highlights and thanks to those who helped me along the way!
- I got new eyes - A day before I had lasik surgery and my account was approved! I sat in the doc's office trying to write a post about it but it didn't happened! Upside my vision is now better than 20/20 and I can enjoy the views of my beautiful world. My favorite thing to look at with my new eyes are the mountains! I always knew they were beautiful but I can truly appreciate their beauty now! Every line, crack and piece of moss!
- Found out i was preggers - and hated the taste of coffee, avos and coconut! All things i can endure once agian! thank goodness!
- Got Schooled by @chekohler - he was literally my steemit school teacher! and still is now that i'm back from my sabbatical! Thanks so much Che! Without you i would not have stuck around thus far!
- Got inducted into the @welcomewagon - these group of crazies really made me feel welcome on the blockchain! Especially my task team @Dreemsteem, @BluefinStudios and @saffisara! A special thanks to the whole team and of course @pendris, who keeps life colorful by busting my chops regularly, and @dreemsteem, @eveningart and @maquemali who are a laugh a minute!!
- @c0ff33a for his 25SP blessing - thanks for being the kindest dude around and blessing this pair of pants with some good old delegation! i put it to good use and got me some Steem-UA action! Thanks a mil!
- @enginewitty and @thealliance - Big shout out to the dark lord for inducting me into the secret society of the alliance! I think i pooped out the kid before i finished the process but none the less ... You guys are great!
- 2 new kids in my life - the little miss and our new marketing platform nichemarket, launched by myself and business partner @chekohler! These two kids made their appearance weeks apart! and its been a crazy ride! None the less they both bring me tons of joy and im loving watching them grow and reaching new milestones! One could say i birthed twins!
- Lastly, To Dat Guy - as the mister likes to be called! his not on steemit, bit since im thanking peeps, i might as well. his been brilliant support throughtout this past year! And is the reason i still have a little bit of sanity left!
So that's it from me! Happy birthday to me!

Happy Steemiversary! Glad you been sticking it out with the baby. I know it's rough in that sense. I got 3 between 2 and 6 and they take up a lot of time!

Dude!! If only I knew how much time I had before. But you have 3!! I'm suprised you even have time to breathe 😂😂
I don't. Every now and then I gasp for enough air to make it to the next one😋

Happy steemiversary - I always knew you would stick with Steem through thick and thin - and my 25 Steem delegation would be a good investment.
Juggling real world life and time is really hard, especially for parents. You keep up the posts and your family which is a credit to you, and you are really getting involved with @actifit which is good exercise and helps keep the posts moving along.
With so much potential yet to grow on the Steen Blockchain I hope you are still here with us this time next year.
