Pay it Forward: Introducing a Couple of Great Redfish.
@thedarkhorse started the Pay it Forward Contest for a bit of fun, but now it's in its 21st week and going so strong it has a new home at @pifc. It's something I've always admired and wanted to have a go at, but I don't usually have the time to go hunting for promising new users. However, this week I realised I know of two very worthy low reputation users and would like to share them.
The first one is someone who has been here since January, but I suddenly realised is still lower than I would have expected in his reputation score. His work is always beautiful and his character beautiful too. I can't claim credit for discovering him, as hubby met him first and had only good things to say about him. I soon discovered why. He doesn't write often, but writes thoughtfully and well when he does. He is quite likely to write post length comments in his communication with others on the platform and conversation through comments is something he does more regularly.
He's a true gentle soul and has a way with words and photography. I'd like to introduce you to @barge and share his touching story of a recent sad part of his life.
Some Personal Reflections On Today
The account of the second Steemian I'd like to introduce is only a month old, however, he was on here before for a bit and unfortunately lost his account keys when his phone died. I have to admire how he's come back more positive than ever and already achieved, in this short time, more than he managed first time around. I find his determination inspiring and his work interesting to read.
@nonsowrites’ fictional story isn't his most recent work, but I feel it a well written and certainly worthy of a higher reward than it currently has, which is why I've chosen this one to share.
The Prodigal Son
I hope you'll enjoy their work as much as I do.
Very uplifting to read and I've a big big smile on my face...Thank you so much for this wonderful gift!
Warm Hugs to you and RTB.

You're more than welcome and very deserving. Uplifted is good in a sad situation.
Thank you for the entry @minismallholding! I'm really glad you figured out a way to join us :)
Thanks :)
I'm not a fan of fiction, but I've followed @barge. There's some good stuff there, and any friend of steempeak is a friend of mine.
Is that because real life is bizarre enough without adding fiction?
Steempeak certainly seems to be a winner for anyone who's tried it on computer. I'll have to set Izzy up on it.
They're crazy responsive, too. Hungry for ideas and eager to make changes.
Refreshing change of pace.
Jarvie and Asgarth have been focused on steemmonsters stuff recently, but when https://monsters.steempeak.com/market is all established I'm sure they'll continue tweaking steempeak.com.
It's a lot better for displaying and viewing photos!
Thanks @mattclarke, not much fiction atm but I'd actually like to write some more lol :D
And Steempeak (yup on a PC) is a revolution
How much does steempeak take in fees from the rewards?
Nothing.
Constant development, responsive team, great option.
nice to know you @minismallholding, I will be back later to check the bloggers
Good entry and both bloggers have been upvoted.
Commented and upvoted each feature. I do have one recommendation, maybe make a small comment.
Make a small comment where?
Thank you, by the way.
Just on the posts, like an acknowledgement you read the post. Quite a few participants like to let their features know that they were featured. It's not mandatory, just a nicety is all.
Oh okay. Wasnt sure if you meant the pifc post, which puzzled me! Lol!
I have commented on many of their other posts, but didn't really have anything useful to say on those particular ones. "Nice post" didn't really seem appropriate and I had nothing to add of any use. They already know I've featured them or am promoting them.
I am so guilty of that. I'll get caught up with chatting up people then will find the post I want to feature then completely forget to comment on the one I feature. Too many things going at once.
