MinnowMondays Challenge and the 2nd winner!
#MinnowMondays Giveaway!
In light of winning $5 SBD in @fibrefox's #newbieresteemday Bingo Game I want to pay it forward to a newbie!
@davemccoy asked What Prize You'd Like and I have to say this was my favorite comment:
SO that's what we're doing! The winner will have their choice of having 50 SP delegation for 2 weeks to help with bandwidth issues - OR - a Lifetime Membership to SteemBasicIncome.

I will be doing this for 3 more weeks instead of my classic #MinnowMondays post for a total of 5 PRIZES!
I will choose a "theme" on the off week so Newbies can create a post during the following week as a response, if they choose - and also to keep the judging as fair as possible. I will accept any type of post including d.tube and d.sound entries and will be randomly choosing a winner from a pool of all relevant entries.
Requirements
- Drop the link to your relevant post in comments section of my #MinnowMondays post
- UPVOTE is NOT Necessary
- RESTEEM to help SPREAD THE WORD
- You should try to read, comment and resteem ANOTHER STEEMIAIN'S ENTRY
As stated in the rules I will be randomly picking a winner out of all the entries because I won the original 5$ SBD from @fibrefox's BINGO game a few weeks back.
Here's the process - I used a random name picker from this site.
And the WINNER is...
!
@article61 wrote a beautiful poem about his best friend: his daughter! Go check out My Daughter.... My Heart. My Soul. My savior. The post has already been paid out but feel free to check out a newer, equally awesome post by @article61 and give him a well deserved upvote!
This post is a must read for all parents! @article61 did such a great job - a poem of that length is extremely hard to keep going, but he did it with grace! Here's just a piece:
So my princess has gone and now I'm un-cool.
No more kisses at bedtime or walking her to school.
I echo the words of millions before me and that number is annoying,
WHY DIDN'T YOU WARN ME?!
It goes so fast and if only I'd known.
A girl becomes a woman, my little minions, left home.
Make sure you check out the blog's by @tryskele and @kingingodwin as well! Their posts were totally winner-worthy as well! I'm so happy to use a random generator because honestly, the choice would have been a TOUGH one!
Thank you both so much for playing along - I will split the SBD payout from last week's post between you two, just for entering!

Congratulations to me as well!
Thank you @amariespeaks for the platform, God bless you
what kind words @kingingodwin! I'll be sending you your portion of the pay out shortly 👌thanks again for joining in !
Thank you @amariespeaks, the power of words.
you're welcome!
@kingingodwin that's very nice of you and I am going to look at all the other entries tonight. I have been uber-busy lately and didn't get chance at the time. Well done to evryone and big thanks to @amariespeaks for giving us all this platform to help promote our work. Really is what makes steemit great.
P.S, I must apologise for the spelling mistakes. I was a little emotional when I wrote this and it seems I wasn't paying attention (I do know the difference between your&you're, honestly :)
@article61 the poem is written with such fluidity I doubt anyone is scoffing at a spelling mistake or 2! Don't worry about it :-D and thank you for your kind words! So glad to have connected with you and that you joined into my challenge!
That's re-assuring, thanks. I've not read this since I wrote it and after reading it again tonight, it made me cry! lol. I am really happy that it has been recognized as I would have forgotten I wrote it and not had chance to appreciate it myself. I might have to save this and give it to my daughter one day(After tidying it up lol). Very interested in your support project but will have to chat so you can clue me up on how it works. I've read the post about it but still a bit confused as to what is required. If you have a discord name then I can contact you on there. I am Rebel-Dan on discord. Thanks again. Speak soon.
oh the project is amazing! so many cool and kind people involved! love to chat more with you about it and all kinds of other stuff hahah im on there as amariespeaks#9425
Steemit Newbie Resteem Initiative Discord channel : https://discord.gg/xcekaZU
Cool I'll head there now and look out for you
I can't find you on there? Tried with and without the @ but no luck... Still want to know more about this support project. Speak soon (Discord name is Article61 - Rebel-Dan#6078)
ahh this is so weird! I cannot find you either! WTF? have you joined the discord newbieresteemday channel? maybe if we both get in there at the same time we can figure out what the hell is going on hahah
retract that comment LOL i found you - sent you a friend request
To be honest @simplymike generously donated the 5SBD for the prize, and I was really just paying forward her kindness... so it is really great to see the spirit of giving going around in our community, which ensures that the value that we create stays here to benefit the people that have contributed to it :)
I agree. It’s nice to see that my donation is being forwarded multiple times. It’s just another prove of the fact that it is not all greed that rules this platform :0)
thanks @simplymike ! paying it forward is the greatest! there may be a lot of greed on here - and in the world - but there are plenty of us standing up against it! I'm proud to stand with you and @fibrefox :)
:0)
we are all pretty awesome if you ask me LOL it is so great seeing the kindness and sharing going on here in the platform and I'm happy to be a part of it!
Thank you, here is my entry :D https://busy.org/busy/@seenitallfilms/why-i-m-on-steem
hey there @seenitallfilms ! Thanks for entering in my challenge 😊 checking out your post now!
oh I haven't seen this busy.org before.. I'll still take your entry of course but I usually upvote & resteem the entries but obv I can't with this one.
I did enjoy your post though! And we're glad to have you here! I love that you want to create guides for music videos - have you checked out dtube?
Busy is the same as Steemit! It's just a lot easier to use, here you'll be able to see it as normal: https://steemit.com/busy/@seenitallfilms/why-i-m-on-steem
It's literally a duplicate of everything on the blockchain. It's so much easier to navigate and has some really cool features like notifications. It's worth checking out.
Thank you very much means a lot :)
Yeah I have put some on there before but my videos are very big files and a lot of them wouldnt upload so am having to look into working around that! Thanks again! Happy steeming!
ohh that's interesting - I will have to check it out :) thanks!
Here is a article i've just written about it, might clear some things up for you!
https://busy.org/busy/@seenitallfilms/busy-the-steem-platform-you-need-to-start-using
thanks @seenitallfilms I will check it out!
Congratulations everyone. This one was fun to do. I hate to say it I had to reign myself in or it would have been twice as long LOL. All the stories were incredible. Thank you for sharing your stories with all of us :D
lol @tryskele I'm sure it would have been amazing even if it was twice as long lol I would have read the whole thing! <3 Thanks for joining in
That's good to hear. The other stories though were amazing. I shared @article61's post it had the same effect on me. I'm not a writer, I'm artistic in other ways. So for someone to tell me they liked something I wrote makes me happy and I know the more I do the better it will get.
oh definitely, writing is a skill like any other :) I think you have great talent in writing - so keep working at it!
Thank you for the vote of confidence.
I like the poems by article61. I was late to upvote and I found a newer poem. He makes touching poetry. The random name picker made an great choice! I wonder if it was programmed to check quality content creators too :D
@wanderlass I don't know how I missed this comment, I'm sorry my dear! @article61 really writes really great poetry! I'm glad you got over there !
No worries @amariespeaks! I also could not track the comments and even mentions. Sometimes I would see the notifications but then I'm in the middle of something so I would forget. And yes I agree, he has a gift of words :)
Thanks for this contest @amariespeaks
