Thanks to all of you who have commented and upvoted my paintings, music, travel stories and other blogs about a variety of topics. I nearly died a few years ago and am now finding pleasure in the beauty of relationships and the simplest things give me serene joy. I have been so lucky to have married the girl of my dreams and recently we returned from a months travel in Japan. Amazingly my wife earn't the money for our holiday on the internet, and i was so impressed that i promised to try to make some money on the side online as well. Funnily enough, as soon as i returned home, i saw a post by the @dollarvigilante on youtube about how he was making a fortune on Steemit. I researched the site on youtube and found several people saying they had found a way to earn some money online due to Steemit. This photograph is of me playing guitar and is 100% my own, it was taken on the 4th of July 2011 at a hotel room we won from Film Australia, as a prize for a Youtube video i created. That is a great story i will share soon in another blog.

My goals have shifted since i have become a member of this great social network, of course i want to be able to contribute to our next holiday, but now it is more about reaching out and making some cool friendships with like minded people too. I have meet fellow artists, and fellow Australians, and fellow musicians, and some super photographers, as well as, a thousand other topics people share about here. I shared some glimpses of the gemstones i dig up out of the ground and told some stories about how we spend out weekends. This photograph is 100% my own and i #whalepower and @teamaustralia cause you all have been helping me from the embarrassment of no upvotes on my posts. This is one of the Sapphires i prospected and had faceted and now have for sale too.

Here is a youtube video of one of my songs created as a gift of love for my then girlfriend(now wife) called 'PERFECT TIME' which is a reality i share with her regularly. The song is the first song i wrote and i play guitar on it as well, it has over 12000 views and sold a few copies on itunes too.

I share stories of many aspects of my life and am very proud of my paintings as well, so i will post one for those of you who haven't seen them yet. This painting is my own and is titled 'Weekend in the Mountains'

I have so much more to tell you all about and can't wait to let you know more about my life.

Thanks very much to all of you who have started this journey with me, and i reckon we will all grow our Steem together.
Love and Light,
David.
