You might wondering why I wrote this post. This is not to showcase my curated post, but to let you know how grateful I am. I want to share my curie experience and it's one way to extend my support to a good community @curie who changed my journey here in steemit. Curie is a witness and a curation guild who search and discover good quality content specially the new and unnoticed author. I started in this great platform last mid of December 2017, was approved my account within a week, and the person who engaged me to join steemit is none other than my dear friend @ediah. As my journey started, it was up and down as I don't get a lot of upvotes and even followers. However, by the help of my friend, I was engaged in some community @steemitachievers and @steemitfamilyph and hearing advices from steemians which is a big factor for me. I started here as nothing. I posted some blogs which consider as low content I guess. Honestly, I wasn't too serious that time, making blog is not my ideal thing. I have a family to takecare which is my priority.

I started from a dull post considering I'm not a blogger or a writer. Then I took it seriously making some art and craft tutorial. At first, it was unnoticeable but I keep on believing that someday I will earn more than a cents. Until one day, I was curated for the first time! I humbly present my three curated post.

Last January 11,2018 this post was curated with 31votes and a total payouts of $124.22. I would like to thank sir @andywong31 who submitted my post to curie guild, as a result they noticed and upvoted it.

That feeling was like winning a lotto! Kidding! Yes, it was an awesome experienced curated by a guild and a big impact to my journey. It leads me to keep sharing some of my knowledge about art and craft and contribute to this community with good purposes. Earning is not easy so keep on steeming, one day big whales will discover you in the right time.

I'm thankful that this post was discovered by sir @markangeltrueman and re-steemed by @steemsearch blog last March 3, 2018. After few hours of posting my blog, it was a blast as he discovered and upvoted by curie guild. It was also featured on the #57th Edition of @steemitfamilyph's featured posts. A total payouts amount of $61.79 with 249 votes. I was so contented seeing my first ever diorama tutorial got curated. Without expectation, a blessing came again in my journey. As a result of this, my hubby was happy too as he helped me doing this diorama. Additional thanks to sir @tpkidkai for exposing my post to curie guild and @promomentors. I owe to him for always supporting us.

In this post, honestly I didn't expected that curie will noticed this. This was my entry for the contest hosted by one of my community groupmate @mermaidvampire. At first, I don't have any idea it was upvoted by curie guild last March 22, 2018. This entry was a double winning for me! I won 3rd prize plus upvoted by curie at the same time! How grateful I am! It has a total payouts of $35.50 with 282 votes.

Have you noticed that all my curated post was all about arts and crafts. Being a casual artist and a non-blogger makes me think that everyone has a purpose and contribute something to the community. The only key is to be patient and less expectation. It may cause you to other way. Keep steeming and communicate with other community which can gain friendship as well. With all these rewards, it brought me to another perspective way of life. Never give up and learn something new everyday. Curie is a big influence to us to move forward and stay humble of where you belong now. They encourage us to create genuine and good quality content, they support us not just financially but to motivate and inspire us to show what we can do in this platform.

How about you? What's your curie story? Let us know how essential their upvotes by sharing your own story. This is my testimony on how @curie changed my life. In return, I would like to encourage some of my groupmates @steemitachievers and @steemitfamilyph to share your curie stories. Let's give inspirations to others and spread the good news how Curie supported us and changed each lives.
