Welcome Home

in Ecency3 months ago

Time flies.

I can't believe that I said "see you soon" almost three months ago, and the time has flown by. So much has happened in those three months, and I've really missed the day to day interaction with dreemers.

So what have I been doing in my "spare time". Thinking long and hard about what we're doing here. Here where? Online... Hive... Life. Don't you wonder the same thing? I feel like right before I left for my sabbatical, I was hearing a lot of the same thoughts, and they were resonating with me. A few people joined into conversation with me, sharing their struggles, their frustrations - not only with the content they were seeing on DreemPort - but everywhere. It felt like the content all over the internet, media, socials - everything was just sinking into a sea of meaningless noise.

I found myself asking - what are we doing here?

I asked it over and over, and I knew I needed to step away to remind myself about what we were doing, why we were doing it, and how we were aiming to be set apart from the rest.

I love our fun, our games, our silliness, our rewards, our connection, our collabs, our "attractiveness" - but I felt that was overshadowing the very core of what we were attempting to do.

So over the last few months, I toyed with some changes. For a bit, they frightened me. It felt like I would be making things less attractive to the masses. And then I realized, that's exactly what I wanted to do. THAT is what was making us veer away from our vision. We were becoming attractive to people who were able to use/abuse dreemers for their own gain, leaving less for the actual true dreemers.

When I thought of it that way, it didn't scare me anymore. I want DreemPort to be "boring and unappealing" for people who are there for the wrong reasons. I want it to chase them away so we see less of them. I want more of the goodness to apply to the people who are actually wanting to be different and stand apart from the ever-rising tides of distraction. So things will be changing.

If our community shrinks - that's good.

I've always said, I would rather a handful of solid, interesting content creators than thousands of boring, lackluster creators shoveling their garbage down our throats.

For an opportunity to discuss some of the ways that we're course-correcting, you're welcome to join us at the WorldBuilding Expo where content creators will be invited to connect with other like-minded innovators. The theme for our booth will be "Making it Matter", where we will invite content creators (especially our dreemers) to challenge themselves to elevate their content to its most meaningful state. We're looking forward to sharing the upcoming changes in DreemPort and invite you to be a part of it!

Event Details:

Looking forward to seeing our dreemers there! So glad to be home 🤗


Thanks to @shadowspub, @penderis, @bluefinstudios, @kemmyb, @wesphilbin, @melinda010100, @samsmith1971, @silversaver888, @lizelle, @kenechukwu97, @jacoalberts, @acgalarza, @blackdaisyft, @balikis95, @alessandrawhite, and @dreemsteem for making the @dreemport voting power go farther! ❤️


Sort:  

I can't tell you how glad I am to see you back, sister ❤️❤️.

I understand how intimidating the decision of making Dreemport unattractive would be, but I am sure with its right reasons the decision will stand out and reap the positive results.

!LUV you a lot.

#dreemerforlife

it makes me laugh when i even think .... making our project unattractive is our next strategy???

yes.

LOL wow.. ok. good luck LOL

but - i do think its the right decision. It will be unattractive to all the people it should push away.

but it should be exactly what the right kind of dreemer wants :)

missed you and love you right back!

We are ready to dive into this new ocean of attractiveness. Hehe.

Yeah. Good luck

i left you a whatsapp today hehehe

Replied 💖

@dreemsteem, oh, how we’ve missed you!!

So, yes, welcome home!

As I read your post, I said, “Amen, sister” outloud at least three times. My favorite part, is this:

I want DreemPort to be (as IF it could, ha!) “boring and unappealing” for people who are there for the wrong reasons.

It is crystal clear to me The DreemPort values are deeply rooted in love and trust. I am so proud of the Dreemers and how they represent one another on Hive and on #pypt in particular.

It sounds like your Sabbatical brought insights and a refreshed perspective. There’s something beneficial about a three-month break. It affords one a season to observe rather than cultivate. Then, with fresh clean air, approach the next season.

Much love! 💕

hi my sweet friend!!! was so good to hear your voice yesterday in PYPT!! :)

and hehehe giggled at your favorite part up there... but you know what??? you know why you will never think its boring and unappealing?? cuz you have the heart of a dreemer ❤️... YOU are the person that we LOVE to attract because we have the same foundation, same drive, same heart.

so hehehe yes - this makes me happy that this little "experimental overhaul on our journey" will do just fine! hehehehe

Thank you for always encouraging, always inspiring, always lending yourself to be present for people! it matters so much!!!

and yes - that break - was not so much of a break as I had hoped??? hahaha Shadows will have to give you some giggles on all that kind of crashed around me during that time ... LOL (or i can catch you up too hehehe)

but even in that... God had great plans for what my life would be - and how everything would fall into place. He's so good that way :)

I love you dearly my friend. and you'll be excited (i think) to see how even you and your influence helped to transform where we are headed... hehehe

Not sure if you'll be hearing it live - since you'll be doing HiveFest??? but that's ok hehehe we will catch up and share back and forth!!!

Hugs!!! Dreemie :)

Oh, yes! This sister will be at HiveFest!

But you, @shadowspub, and the talented #dreemersforlife will be knocking it out of the park at the Go Bruch showcase!!

Good luck! Can’t wait to hear all about it!

Much love!! 😘

Congratulations 🥳🥳

@alessandrawhite you are the lucky winner of 100 Dreem Tokens for participating in Dreemport’s Bounty.

DreemPort_banner.png

Wait. What? Me???

Hehehe!! I don’t know how I was in the draw but I’m giddy happy for winning. 🏆 Thank you!!! 🙏

where is the hivefest this time! why does it feel like it was just a few months ago? hahaha was this actually a full year ago when you were in mexico?!?! sheesh that's wild!

are you presenting this year? if so... share the time and i'll jump in there to watch!

Welcome back Dreemie☺️☺️

I can’t miss this event for anything🥂

#dreemerforlife

saw you register already - you're fast! hehehe looking forward to hearing your feedback at the ideas presented! :) missed you beeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :)

Thank you so much☺️☺️

Life is all about change, and I personally know that for us to grow, we must strive to be a better version of who we are or what we plan for and this is a right step to that, I'm so excited about this update. I don't think Dreemport can be boring haha, no matter what, it will always be fun and you have us right behind you!!

I have really missed you 🤗.

#dreemerforlife

hahaha I hope that it will be getting MORE interesting for the right type of dreemer. It should only get boring for those that aren't meant for us anyway! hhehe
this change has been a long time coming, and I feel like it's coming at the right time!

3 more months!!!!!!!!!! :)eeeeeeeeeeek

Welcome back, Dreem😇.

It is nice knowing your sabbatical moments brought more clarification to you regarding Dreemport. But we can never be boring because our own Dreemsteem is filled with love ❤️.

#dreemerforlife!

I can see another person that's also filled with love 😂.

Daalu

Haha... thank you ooo 😊😊

hehehe it won't be boring for us, I hope. hehehe

but for others - sure... and that's a good thing

It kind of reminds me about that quote by Albert Einstein...
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."

It just shows us that fish are meant to be fish - and not monkeys.. hehe
birds are meant to be birds, and not gophers.

dreemers and scammers are two different creatures.

If we create a proper place for dreemers - it should not be attractive to scammers. It should be a place that they don't want to waste their time, and more importantly - ours.

And when DreemPort is built FOR dreemers and dreemers alone - THEN we can judge it based on its attractiveness to the right people!

this is my hope. we shall see. hehehe

You don't need to hope much big woman. It is the obvious truth. We can never be boring to ourselves but to someone out there who has something more(scam) in their minds... I don't want em.

Yeah, we are each special in what we do. Who we truly are and that's why they won't find us interesting to them.

As a lovable, sweet, awesome, great, incredible, muah muah muah dreemer that I am, I stand with you with my full chest and body( to balance the equation🤣). Let's ride on big woman😉.

Welcome back @dreemsteem. I believe it is better to appeal to people who bring the best to a project than to try to make everyone like you. We ought to always value quality over quantity, so I support where dreemport is going from now on.

I'll save the dates for the event. Thanks for having us.

#dreemerforlife

I agree! We really just want a smaller, more focused group!

if you'd like to catch up on how DreemPort will be updating - definitely come to one of our sessions at the Expo!

Honestly, I can't miss this September's event. I am so looking forward to it, more especially as Dreemport has taken a boot.

Welcome back once again, Captain Dreemie! My expectation is high for the new things coming.
#dreemerforlife

i saw you already register! heheh you were fast!

the bar will definitely be raised for the future. we will see who will come with us! whoever chooses to take a different journey - our hearts wish them well!

But we really want to whittle our group down to a certain kind of dreemer - only. hehehe

hoping that you will be one of them ❤️

Holďn my breath, Captain. All will be well 🙏

Welcome back, welcome back with new energy and positive thoughts and ideas for success and progress to those who are committed, we will be there.

#dreemerforlife

So happy to have you there beauty! I hope it will appeal to you!! :)

Sure it will Soo much

Would not miss this for the world....

#dreemerforlife.

its my lovely giggle girl! hehehehe missed laughing with you and your partner in crime ahahahah

😂🤣... Hey DREEEEMMMIIIIEEEE!!!!!!! I miss you more ❤️❤️❤️❤️. I and that partner in crime are busy making combined effort to not miss next year's trip. We are really looking forward to meeting you and the team 😍♥️🥂

Woah...., I have not been so active on dreemport recently, I have been so occupied with a lot of things... but honestly I missed you real bad🥺, am so, so happy to have you back.

For the Change, anyone who wants to grow and become something reasonable in life should always be ready for change and be willing to adapt..

Welcome back once again Mom 🥰

#dreemerforlife

hehe hi Emreal! :)

yes its been quite an interesting 3 months for me. I hope the changes that we implement will be true and worthwhile and meaningful.

They might not be appealing to everyone - and that's ok. Birds of a feather will flock together.. hehehe

thank you for the welcome home :)

Smiles.. that's very true, not everything will be appealing to everyone, sometimes it's best to ignore people's feelings and do what is right.

Hope you brought some carrots from Amani's farm?😁😁

Welcome back @dreemsteem. I'll gladly wait for this. "Course correction" Interesting.
#Dreemerforlife

hehe yes - even pirate ships do require course correction hehehe

here again

#dreemerforlife

I don't know which words to use precisely but I'm definitely sure it feels good to have you back. Hope you got all the rest you needed on your sabbatical leave, though I'm aware that you were busy using your precious sabbatical leave to think about innovative ideas for dreemport.

It seems you have finally found the answers you were looking for, it is good to have some changes around here. This brings back memories from creative work hour which changed the perspective of most dreemer about content creation till today.

I look forward to partaking in this event, I'm always glad to learn a thing or two about how to improve as an author.

Once again, it feels good to have you back captain 🤗

#Dreemerforlife

emyrssssssssssssssss.... are you getting ready?!?!?!?! are you getting SOOOOOOOO ready?!?!?! ONLY 3 MORE MONTHS! heheheh

as far as the sabbattical.. hehe that did not go as intended. lots of calamities struck during the time that I had set aside for rest. LOL

but - if i had still been working with DreemPort - it would have been very very bad... so God knew that I needed that time off to tend to those other things I guess hehehe

It's funny that you mention creative work hour... hehehe because that also influenced a lot of my decision - and youll see some of its influence in the upcoming changes. Hearing your comment above- sounds like you will be exactly where you want to be! hehehe

that makes me happy!!!

than you for the welcome home :) i missed everyone!!!

I called out my name emrsssssssss and I felt goosebumps 😅, it is so intriguing how time flies.

I guess life is what happens when we are busy planning other things, thankfully when the calamities struck you already had enough time in your hands to settle it. It nearly feels like you could see the future, I thought I was the magician 😅.

We missed you too 🥰🤗🤗.

Change is inevitable. It's always necessary in everything we do in life because without change, we'll be stuck at a place, lacking growth and improvement.
I stand with you for the change you plan on bringing to #dreemport!
I believe you have enough treasures in store for us, Captain Dreemie, hehehe.
Welcome back. !HUG !DOOK


Well shit @luchyl, this post is older than 7 Days days.
Look for some other shit.
(We will not send this error message for 24 hours).
dook_logo
Learn all about this shit in the toilet paper! 💩

yes Luchyl! change can be very difficult and downright scary when it's drastic!

but... I trust this new path.

I'm willing to take drastic measures for drastic and meaningful growth!

if you'd like to catch up on how DreemPort will be updating - definitely come to one of our sessions at the Expo!

the first one is already filled -
here is the next on the list :)

https://lu.ma/luhpxd0g

just click there to register to attend if you like! :)

(when that one fills - we will have a link for the next session!)

Ahan! This is exciting
First of all, welcome back to the game of life.
I am a bit afraid but excited the more for the anticipated changes and look forward to that.
I hope you brought goodies from the long vacation, hehe
#dreemerforlife

hahahaha well - the goodies are still planned on being distributed in the September Treasure Hunt that I announced back in June! :)

whoever is a part of that - i hope they will fill their bags - because they definitely earned it for the 3 months of dedication to DreemPort while i was gone! hehehe

and concerning the changes - don't be afraid. It is a step that needed to happen and if it doesn't fit with your life... then that's not a bad thing. It's a good thing to simply find where you achieve balance and fulfillment

and if thats not with us? that is perfectly ok! Just find your space and thrive! :)

That's so cool @dreemsteem
Welcome back
We move on

I like the direction that all these are going, and I have already registered for the Expo event.

Seriously, I'm looking forward to some serious growth and progressive transition.

You are welcome, Dreemie.

C'ya when you are fully back.

that is really what we are seeking... serious growth and transition and meaningful achievements.

we don't want to be associated with only fluff. (though fluff can be fun!!! but foundation FIRST)

will be good to express all these things to our community and see who gets it... and who is wanting to grow with us.

and whoever isn't... we wish them lots of love and great success on their journey in finding where they belong!!!

3 months my darling! then i get to hug you. the long awaited hug!!! hehehe

Dreemie, Momma.

I'm looking forward to the meeting. The two days Expo events have a long duration and I'm interested in how each minute of it would unfold. Hehe.

December is already knocking.

Mauritius will be an interesting one. Hehe.

Yay! Captain Dreemie is back with a bang, and I love the Vibes!

We all missed you, and I am so glad for the changes we will all witness in Dreemport moving forward.

I am absolutely excited about the Dreemport booth in the upcoming World Building Expo on GoBrunch, and I have registered to be part of it.

Welcome back, @dreemsteem. Much love from me to you, Cap'n.
#dreemerforlife

hehehe there she is!! :)

Its so good to be missed!! and I'm so glad to be anticipating the full return on September 1 - and explaining all the things in the Expo for the full reveal. hhehe

I think it will be the right move for us and those that it resonates with - will come with joy and excitement.

and for those who don't - that is ok - we send them on their way with hugs and loves and laughters hehehehe

thank you for the welcome home!!! love to you!

Love, love, love you, Dreemie! You are a great inspiration, Captain! I am glad for how you boldly take steps to ensure that Dreemport keep moving towards the original dreem. Only the right people will continue with the journey while the rabble will go back to feasting on garlic and cucumbers, hahaha!

Awwwwwww, She is back 🎉💃
Dreemie is baaaaaccckkkkkk!!!!!💃🥰
We missed you!!!

Wowww, what a lovely direction you had for dreemers while on your leave. Looking forward to a better growth for all of us

Noted for the upcoming Gobrunch event

Welcome back Dreemie 🥰

its my nkem!!!!!!! hehehehe thank you to you and the storkees for really being patient with this process. You know how proud i have been of your work!!! and I think we will have a transition that will honor your work in a better way!

I think it will make us stronger and more meaningful and hopefully give us a greater impact. Maybe not in the size of our family - but in the powerful posts we create.

lets see! hehehe
thank you for the welcome home :) love you sweet beautiful lady

Awwwwwww 🥰
Let's see how it goes
I am hoping for the best 🤗

Wow. Our dreemsteem is back from her sabbatical leave off Hive and dreemport 😎😎 🥳🥳

Glad to have you back, ma'am and I can't wait to see the new growth of Dreemport. Even while being off on Hive, you still kept thinking of how to make things better for every dreamer and dreemport. This is beautiful and we can't wait for the big move. 😍
#dreemerforlife

hehehe yes - home home home :)

My desire was to put my heart and mind and spirit into this time away - to make DreemPort better- but there were so many challenges that were fighting for control over me. LOL it was not easy... but i'm breathing deeper and cleaner now.. and I think I have nice clarity over what will happen.

it feels good. peaceful. right :)

thank you for the confidence that you bring! hehehe lets hope that God directs our steps in a way that we all see clearly!

Yes yes. I can't wait for that. It's like a revamp of dreemport, hehehe 😎🥳🥳

Oh! How I missed you, Dreemie
Wellcome back. 🤗

I have already booked my seat for the gobrunch event.
And yes, life is all about making changes that will helps grow so why not, let's implement these changes already
#dreemerforlife

So glad that you booked already! hehehe I think that event will be a great time of connection with us all - and opportunities there to wander around and explore other like-minded creators and their visions!

thank you for the welcome home! hehehe hope you've been well!!! :)

Welcome back Dreemie. We missed you so much 😘😘😘😘, I think I missed you more 😄😄

We are always and will remain a #dreemerforlife and I am so looking forward to another WorldBuilding Expo Event.

hehehe did you miss me - or have we been interacting still everyday as Duolingo partners hahahhaa???

LOLOL i always like seeing your name there. i love that we have those new friend challenges that let us work together to achieve a common goal! hehehe

really looking forward to sharing more of my heart at the Expo! and hoping that it resonates with all my truest dreemers! :) love you!

Hahaha yea but I did miss your voice, I wish Duolingo has a feature for listening to your friend's voice 😃😃😃😃.

Looking forward to the Expo, I can't wait.

"I've always said, I would rather a handful of solid, interesting content creators than thousands of boring, lackluster creators shoveling their garbage down our throats.


It's not the quantity... It's the quality! Hmmm... Or was it...

yes - often they are very needed and probably delayed because of fears! hehehe

i'm really looking forward to it too... each day the fear is lessened and a confidence grows in the path where God is leading!

love you too!!! i know you've been super patient too hehehe but... just a bit longer to wait LOL

Welcome home, it is a pleasure to read your new plans and all the thinking about new reforms in dreemport. You have a loyal community that will always be willing to support your plans, it is worth to modify what is necessary.

#dreemerforlife

I very much agree!!! the loyals will stay and grow - and those who don't - will have our love as they find where they are needed more! hehehe

thank you for the welcome home!!! :)

Thank you☺️

Many thanks

Thank you 😊

Congratulations 👏

Thank you so much

Thanks a lot

Thank you 😊

Thanks so much for the tokens. Much appreciated.

Welcome back Dreemie.

I can't help it, but be amazed by what I just read.

So over the last few months, I toyed with some changes. For a bit, they frightened me. It felt like I would be making things less attractive to the masses. And then I realized, that's exactly what I wanted to do. THAT is what was making us veer away from our vision.

I am happy that you view it from a different perspective. This new change will bring more quality to dreemport. It will also help those that wants to improve the quality of what they put out there.

Its glad to have you back with a new perspective, Dreemie.

Hopefully, I will not miss September 10 and 11.

!luv

#dreemerforlife

This will really be like.. hmm you know the story of Gideon? Where he had 30,000 men ready for battle - but God brought him down to only 300? hahaha that is what I feel like we're about to do. Take us down to the bare bones! But... those 300 men were worth more than the 30,000! Because they were the RIGHT kind of warrior.

Smile 😊, for all the right reasons, yes.

Thank you so much for the invite, I just registered for the event, and I'm looking for it. !LUV

Just registered for the expo and hopefully I will catch some or all of it.

Great news seeing you back, and am intrigued to what your vision of dreemport now is.
Hive and its associated projects just seem to plod along rudderless with people just seeing how they can line their own pockets.

Everyone wants to be a content creator yet nobody wants to consume it on Hive.

Anyway sorry to hear you had calamities and hope you managed to get some rest Dreemie.

this is exactly what so many of us are feeling...

but in order to TRULY target the people who don't want to line their pockets - it means some very drastic , daring (and some might say... stupid?? lol) changes

but to those that it appears stupid - we say... thank you, see you in another era! lol - because this era will be all about focusing our efforts on real connection as a foundation.

I'm sure our changes will only be appealing to those who long for the genuine!

we'll see what happens! hehe

and I'm scheduled for 6 sessions. 10-15 min each. but they will all be the same presentation. the only thing that will make it different would be the q&a that are presented! so you should be able to soak up the gist of it all in 15 min! hehe no need to carve out time for the full 2 days (unless you find other sessions that you'd like to attend too!) hehehe

have missed you Tengolofoshooooooooooo!

Okay I was wondering what the requirement was well not so much requirement what the content was going to be for the full two days I guess is more what I meant.

It is interesting when I look at our dreemers in general, I see the ones that genuinely want to engage and do engage and then the ones that are the line their own pockets first engage if they only really have to second. As a general rule I know which Hive city they are a part of.

Anyway looking forward to seeing what this is about....

And just to let you know I was in St. Andrews on Tuesday and of course thinking of you Pen and Sam!

Enjoy your sunday dreemieweemieseeme!
