Hi Everyone!!

This is my official application for The Alliance. ( #thealliance)

---

I was told about the Alliance by my friend @MarianneWest in the form of a question. It went something like this:

"Why are you not in The Alliance?"

The question is true, but I have seen #thealliance posts and banners on many of the people that I follow and read posts from.

I liked what I did read about The Alliance group. How family values where something you were going to be making sure will always be a part of your group.

Now, this is where I have a problem when talking about myself and thinking I can bring something to a group. I'm not saying I don't think I'm a nice person or don't have confidence in myself because I do. Some might say too much.

When you were forming your group, I was just starting on Steemit and seeing what was what.

I'm more of a sit back and see how it goes type of person.

I jump, reaching out, to help where I think it's needed and wanted. I think one of the worst things you can do is offer advice to someone not really looking for it, but I have a pretty good radar when it comes to seeing if people really are looking for help and advice.

So I guess you can say I'm more of a cheerleader type of person. I'm more used to people coming to me and asking advice than the other way around.

Here is a link: The magic of Steemit that I wrote just the other day and I think it explains exactly how I feel about Steemit and what it means to me.

I think I have answered two of the three questions that you are asking for.

---

---

As to the last question, Why do you want to be in The Alliance? I still need to answer.

---

---

I'm homebound most days. Spend most of those days on Steemit because it makes me happy, for those that did not read the link I, well linked.........

If there is a place that I can be me and feel helpful, I think The Alliance is it.

Your rules, for me, are easy to follow as most are things I already do on Steemit and in my life every day. If I can get an invite to your group, I see it as a way to help more people, but still keep my values that make up who I am.

I'm still unclear of the whole "finding the egg" business but as I am not afraid to ask questions I'm sure I will soon know the answer. 😇

I'm open and honest to a fault so that might scare you away. Some people like that about me I'm told and others? I don't really know as they just seem to go away.

I don't hold grudges as I think they are a waste of time so I put that in the positive category.

So I think I have rambled on as much as I can tooting my own horn for today.

If you think I would be a good fit then I would love to be in your group. I would try and be a good member and help where I can.

Steemit to me has brought happiness back into my life. If I can pass that on to some other people, from reading your rules that have the same values as me, that would just be more happiness added to my life.

I would be honored to join The Alliance if you will have me.

Oh, but one last thing I need to say. Zombies might come up in conversations when talking to me once and a while just so you are aware of that too. 😁

Thank you for your time in reading this.
