Feeling Gratitude for Steemit Friends Who Have Inspired Me
.jpg)
I met some wonderful Steemians at the Florida meetup recently.
Yesterday, I was thinking about how @choogirl inspired me to actually take actions for a healthier lifestyle.
This lead me to start thinking about the many Steemians who have inspired me during my Steemit journey.
I've met so many great people here on Steemit and Discord.
These are just a few examples of the many who have inspired me along the way.
@clayboyn
Clay was one of my first real Steemit friends. We've shared many deep, philosophical discussions over time.
Our conversations always inspire me to keep doing the inner work necessary in maintaining a healthy balance emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually.
He has helped me more than he realizes.
@aggroed
Ag is one of my dearest friends on Steemit. He started the Minnow Support Project at the same time I joined Steemit.
Being a part of the MSP community has truly helped me grow as a person and has given me the opportunity to help others.
Ag inspires me through his commitment to help minnows via his extrememly generous amount of delegations, as well as his commitment to change the world via the values of Peace, Abundance, and Liberty.
@juliakponsford and @vachemorte

Julia and Vache released the first feature length film on Steemit, The Juju Gum Conspiracy!!!
They are both amazingly creative, talented, and prolific musicians and artists who constantly inspire me with their creations.
@krystle and @ausbitbank

Krystle and Aus inspire me with their generosity and dedication to helping minnows and musicians.
Their delegations, manual curation, the open mic account, and SBD prizes help so many who are struggling to make their way here on Steemit.
@kubbyelizabeth
Kubby inspires me with her kindness, energy, enthusiasm, and love for life.
She radiates confidence, strength, and liveliness, and is a pure bundle of joy!
@crimsonclad
Crim is one of the most well-rounded individuals I have ever met.
She's a photographer, writer, animal shelter volunteer, traveler, moderator of a thousand Discord channels, msp-waves DJ, and a Steemit Witness.
She inspires me with her endless compassion for others as well as her ability to manage so many obligations while also creating the necessary balance to enjoy her life.
@swelker101
The Husband is the reason I'm here on Steemit.
He encouraged me to break out of my introverted shell and share my music, thoughts, and feelings here on Steemit.
Shane makes me laugh every day and inspires me with his confident and positive outlook on life.
@choogirl
And here we have the main inspiration for this entire post!
Choo is tiny, beautiful, and amazing.
She's one of the healthiest people I've ever met!
She's a vegan, yogi, and crossfitter.
Look at how awesome she is!
Choo also travels and currently lives in Panama.
All of these aspects about her are so inspiring to me.
Since I've been back home, I've changed my diet to include healthier choices...working my way toward becoming vegan.
I've also made the commitment to start doing yoga daily.
I have a long way to go toward becoming my healthiest self, but it's a start.
Thank you Ausbit!!!! <3
this was an amazing post and it was interesting to see all the humans behind the avatars! Getting out of your shell is important, and we are luckier for it, since you have a lot of artistic talent, as evidenced by your song I heard recently. wow.
Thank you Stella, that really means a lot to me....and thank you so much for the resteem! <3
YEES Isaria top list of friends I love it. Of course you inspire us back everyday!!! I consider myself so lucky that I found you and Shane and the rest of our tribe, for that matter, pretty much my first month on Steemit. Blessing, prosperity and continuity for all of us. BIG HUGSSS !!!!
So happy to have met you and Julia as well! Big love and hugs!!! <3
Oh wow, that's a lot of photos of me I wasn't prepared for. You went back a good few months to dig up my yoga post!
And thank you Isaria. I'm flattered that I had such a positive influence on you in such a short space of time! You were super fun to meet and hang out with as well. You work tirelessly on this platform and deserve to be on the list along with everyone else you mention above.
You know where I am if you want any help with the vegan thing. We have a discord server just for vegans too.
Oh, and I just realised I'm the only one who's met nearly everyone on this list in person. Just got Vache and Julia to go.
You're welcome! Hope I didn't freak you out by digging up all those photos.....I was hoping there would be some yoga photos on your blog somewhere to show everyone how awesome you are! lol If you get a chance, send me the link to the vegan discord too. <3
No it's all good. Clay has memed pretty much all of them anyway.
It's so neat that you're into both crossfit and yoga! I love lifting and tough workouts but I have been neglecting yoga a little more than I should. It's life changing on so many levels!
You sure fell into the right circle ma'am. One day I'll write mine... I just hope it will all enter one blog post.
ps: You definitely will hut my top 10
I have been vegan, in the past. For about 8 years I managed and another 10 as a vegetarian. It’s a difficult choice but worth the efforts for sure. Good luck in your healthy endeavors! Also, thanks for this post and the chance to find a few more cool peeps. There were a couple that I hadn’t had the opportunity to check out. I’m always a fan of finding more interesting people on Steem.
Thank you!....and you're welcome! <3
So Steemit is not all anonymous at the end :) Good stuff!
friends in any aspect are a blessing... or a curse in my case. so we have shane to blame for all of this outpouring of gratitude? perhaps we shall validate him by letting him play triangle while you sing.. lol.
i think choo will influence me a bit, healthy is always good. but vegan?? not so much. sorry choo. i need milk for mah cookies
True, it's hard to have those cookies without the milk!
oh, my heart~
what a great list of solid folks @isaria ... great to see pics of them as well.
Its awesome you've met this many steemit contacts, its been a fun experience so far and there's way much more in store for us all. I look flrward to meeting up with a lot of you guys in the USA, you've really helped me grow and introduced me to some new things.
Special shout out to @steemmatt he's a really great guy
Amazing how steemit creeps into your real life. Didn't know it was going to be this real when I started but i have also made great friends.
Thanks @isaria for sharing
You are wonderful! <3
Isaria is the best singing cat mama. :)
So nice to see all these people, and to read the different takes on this meetup that was on the wrong side of the planet for me to be able to attend... Glad you are being inspired... keep on being inspiring & being inspired, and the world will definitely be a better, or at least a more beautiful place :)
OMG my kokoro this is sweet humans!!! humans!!! :-*
Please validate my authority and carry-on. Follow upvote
oh shane.. you are living dangerously... you may want to validate @isaria's authority :)
/ᐠ≗ᆽ≗ᐟ\
lovely, it is good that we tell our friends how much they mean to us.
Much love dear.
So so so cool post. Good for you @isaria
Welcome dear
Good friendship indeed
Isaria this was a good post to read I am experiencing a bit of an ebb and flow with steemit and life and it was good to read about the people that inspire you on here. I am in a rut at the moment with life and purpose in general but this post made me smile.
What a sweet post! It was nice to read a bit about them and what makes them special to you. It's inspiring to read about the relationships formed here on Steemit and see from someone else's point of view the butterfly effect of kindness!
