These last few weeks have been oh so quiet here on steemit. There once was a time when I would have 6, 7, 8, 9 even 10 or more people engage with me on my posts and now, well now I am lucky if I get even 1. Oh how I miss those days,those days when you know that what you have wrote has been read and that others out their, feel the same way I do or maybe they want to challenge me, challenge my way of thinking. Either way, I like the engagement, bring it on I say!

But even though I no longer have that, I keep writing. Why? because for one it still is a source of income for me and two because I really enjoy writing, I always have. Even though I have gone through periods of not writing, of not making the time, as I never felt I had any time to give to it, in the first place. I never prioritized my writing, until I got onto Steemit and rediscovered my passion for writing and how therapeutic it is for me. And 3 because I have faith in the community on Steemit.

This inactivity reflects exactly the transition so many are making at this time of year, and wow so far this year has been full of so many powerful astrological events. I myself have struggled to find the time to engage with others as much as I would like and then there is the whole crypto side of things. Lots of people seem to be falling away, losing interest, as they are being pulled more towards their physical life, that life away from the screen.

I feel that too, but I also feel such a strong tie with so many of you wonderful people on here. I have made some amazing connections with certain warriors on here. People that I am happy to call part of my Tribe, so that it would be very hard for me to just walk away. We really need to be making these connections, forming aliases with people right around the world.

Think about it, for just one moment, think about how so many people come together and focus their energy and time in coming up with answers to Questions that people like @eco-alex puts forward and questions that members of @tribesteemup put forward. Many minds focused on solutions, focused on ways of moving forward. Planting seeds in the minds of those who read those answers. We need to be changing our mindset, we need to be making an example, we need to be creating change. We need to set the wheel in motion. we need to get our intentions out there and what better way to do just that, than the blockchain, where it will be saved forever.

I am very inspired by @elamental and his EarthDeeds contest, every week he reminds us of our responsibility towards the earth. By asking us to share how we are being of service to the earth, he is giving us the opportunity to learn from one another as we share our knowledge and skills. He is encouraging us to empower and inspire one another.This is exactly how we should be moving forward, if we all chose to change our lives in small ways at first can you imagine the effect this would have over time, on us and on the planet.

@naturalmedicine is constantly coming up with contests that are all about empowering us, helping us to expand our knowledge on plant/natural medicine. How we want to treat our bodies, is of course our choice and you really need to have the knowledge and the faith in self treatment if you want it to work. But what a wealth of knowledge that has been shared so far. I personally only treat myself and my children with natural medicine. But I have taught myself a lot in my life time and I have always sought advice from herbalists or natural healers if I am unsure.

But I really really appreciate this community and the 3 most amazing women on the blockchain . @riverflows, @mountainjewel (Wren), and @holisticmom who set it up. You are all goddesses and I have so much love and respect for you. What you have created here is powerful, oh so powerful and such an amazing tool to help empower us all.

So yes I stay, I stay to learn, to share and to grow together with you all and even if no one reads this, it has done me so much good to write it. To sit down and focus on the many positive things that are happening in my life. A time where yes things are oh so quiet on here, but oh so busy and hectic away from here. But what I gain from here I take with me and I carry it with me. I carry those ideas with me that you share, ideas of how we can create a better world. I carry them with me and they make me a better person.

Change needs to start with you and me, so lets use this opportunity to share the many changes we make and the many ways we can empower one another.
