Thank you so much for your kindness @hitmeasap, and for including me in this program!
I have been watching both the @steevc and @steemcommunity efforts to build Minnows and more of a middle class and even though I fall below their typical focus (in terms of SP) I have been trying to support with votes, engagement, and so on. I have not asked to be included in any of these efforts since I have a gift delegation at the moment.
Anyway, about me: I have been on Steemit for a year and a few days, and basically wanted to create a more "frivolous" type account in what otherwise seemed like an ocean of crypto/programming/blockchain/anarchy focused content.
My intent from the start, however, was always to build this account through (a) posting content of some "value" and (b) building community through engagement. In spite of this being quite a part time effort, I have about 200 top level posts with many hundreds of "personal" photos (of our cats, of course!), and have left in excess of 3,500 comments on other people's content. Hence the name CURATORcat.
My goals for this year was to get to 500SP and "full minnowhood" by the end of June, and then a more ambitious target of 1000SP by the end of 2019. I tend to power up most of the time, but keep some liquid Steem/SBD on hand for prizes for occasional contests/drawings I have, and top off my @dustsweeper account. Big fan of @steembasicincome in which I now have 60+ shares.
Some of my "greater" ambitions have been/are to promote #caturday here in our community (it has been "a thing" around the web for over a decade, and to build a Steem "cat lovers community" around the tag #catsofsteemit which I have been promoting regularly since December. In the longer term, once I reach 1000SP I plan to start making (probably 50SP) delegations to ambitious and eager newcomers who are struggling to manage their resource credits.
In "other bits and pieces" I have been part of @abh12345's "Curation and Engagement Leagues" for almost as long as I have been here, and am also part of @paulag's "Redfish Power-up League," both of which help me stay focused and interested in keeping it up!
Thanks again for the opportunity!
Hi! Auntie Luz here with a goodie for you hehe! I sent 5 sbi shares your way. Hope it helps you. See you in the minnowhood!
@curatorcat, your the coolest cat I ever met (aside from the ones that allow me to live with them, of course 😉).
Congrats on getting selected. You definitely deserve it!
