First off I really respect how you opened this post. Prayers and condolences to the passing of @lauralemons yet bringing us back to the hope, potential and joy of life it self.

It is important to mourn it is ok to feel loss and it is great to pay respects. Yet life is for living and we best make the most of it!

I am super excited for SteemFest and seems like if its possible this one may even be better than last year!

The venues look beautiful so far but the obvious BEST part is going to be to SteeMON with all of you!
