Minnow Mondays - This Week’s Resteemed Newbies
I’ve met so many awesome new Steemians by taking part in the #newbieresteemday.
This post features some of the posts I’ve resteemed this week for the Steemit Nebwie Resteem Initiative .
I hope you’ll go check out these newbies and give them an upvote/follow!
We were all noobs once :)
@skypizza -How I animate a simple GIF Sprite
Let’s all welcome a new artist to Steemit! I chose to feature this post, even though I selected his #introduceyourself post to resteem, because that post is on its payout day today. I like this post because he does a great job walking us through his creative process while making a GIF. His post is fun and informative - so go check it out! https://mspsteem.com/art/@skypizza/how-i-animate-a-simple-gif-sprite
@thehealthplunge - Hello everyone This is me introducing myself and sharing about what I will offer this community of Free Thinkers!
This newbie brings a new movement to Steemit - he is a founder of the Health Plunge and is working to empower people to take back control over their health. He is on a pursuit for truth and believes that by introducing people to the misconceptions in the health and wellness world - it will make them more susceptible to opening up about other lies in other parts of our world such as the government and education systems. Go check out his blog for more!

@karlenysmarquez - let's see the positive side of life
I chose this to feature this post because I love seeing the younger generations calling out the BS in the world. She writes her posts in both English and Spanish to reach more of the communities on here. This young lady sees the real worth in life is relationships, love and positivity. She calls out those around her who value material items so heavily, asking them to question why they feel this way. This post warmed by heart and I hope it does the same for you!

@lifetrainer - Guess What?
What?! There is a spectacularly creative giveaway going on here on Steemit! Brought to us by this newbie page @lifetrainer and their art company PassieARTS. They are offering a free portrait to 2 lucky winners for this week! I thought this was an awesome idea and a great way to break in to the platform. Head over to their page to see their art and be a part of the promotion!

@ishnuala - The Fear of Posting
This post is raw and honest - which is hard for anyone to post, let alone a newbie on the platform. @ishnuala admits to being on here for over a month and only making one post - the classic #introduceyourself. The fear of not being writing a “good enough” post was getting in the way and causing him to not post at all. We all struggle with this tug of war between quality and quantity on here. His solution: work at it and post daily to get over the fear and at least produce something. He has dreams of being a force in the gaming world here on Steemit - so if you’re also a gamer be sure to check out his blog!

@gracefavour - HOW TO OVERCOME YOUR WEAKNESS
As a wonderful follow up to the Newbie above I thought @gracefavour’s post was perfect! She breaks down four easy way to overcome any weakness you may have. Her post is enlightening and motivating - so if you’re struggling with something anything! please give her post a read (and a vote, too!)

@nicolexu1337 - Hi, I'm Nicole and this is my introduction post!
@nicolexu1337 stumbled on Steemit by accident during her travels through the interwebs and decided to sign up. She is a recent graduate of Oxford and is taking a year off to travel. I’m sure her blog will be one to follow! Her current location: Bali - so expect some beautiful pictures!

@beekerst -A Slideshow of Early Louisiana Forestry Practices
I really liked this post because it has two of my favorite things in it - forests and old pictures from the world before I was born ! If you like these things too please head over to @beekerst’s post and give it a read. He included a slide show of his own creation - which showcases old photographs from the Department of Agriculture and Forestry in Louisiana, where he works. This post highlights the logging industry, sawmills, and deforestation regulations. It is truly eye opening to see how far the protection of our forests has come over the years! Be sure to check it out!

There is an amazing amount of great content here and wonderful people that are sincerely wanting us to succeed! Thank you again for picking one of my post to be featured here. And as always.... CARRY ON!
:) you're very welcome!
Wow! thank you so much@amariespeaks. it is a privilege and i really appreciate.
you're welcome! It was a post I really liked - so thank you!
I'm only on my third day of browsing steemit and it's fun to see communities like this. How awesome to shed light on newcomers!
hey @kohanavan27 glad to have you here! Welcome to Steemit! I'll be sure to check out your blog :) thanks for your support <3
welcome to steemit @kohanavan27... and I'm a silly person too :P ... by the way you should follow @amariespeaks... she will give you lots of great ideas and will introduce you into her network of friends... She's also one of the original ABC's of Curation members for @newbieresteemday so she's someone to learn from for sure! :)
Hi fellow newbie, I like your blog :)
Nice set, I think those that I did not get a vote in on earlier, now have a vote with this remark
Once again a very nice group of people you found.
I'll add this to every future post and edit my previous post to include it..Thanks!
I was just dropping votes, sometimes with a comment, sometimes not because of how long it takes to comment sometimes, I always look at and read the post, and thought I needed a way of letting the person know who and why. I saw the one dave made and modified it to fit for me. I have it saved on markup pad so easy to copy paste then drop comment, then copy post link drop it in steemworld.org vote and move to next post, still it takes time to do it but not as much as writing a whole comment out.
Hey @bashadow I save my comments in a notepad (I'm not sure the format but they work. lol
I will fix mine to add one for #minnowmondays too! Thanks for the good idea!
It takes a lot of time all the voting, leaving a comment makes that time a lot longer, but I started thinking about when I was new and would get upvotes from the likes of @ubg and @hr1, and I would wonder why did they vote, the project reminded me of that when I was just doing a lot of fly-by votes. So I saw your comment, and modified it a little, now people don't need to wonder, they know why I voted.
exactly... I agree 100%... I think its smart too... Also can you tell me if you ever learned why @ubg and @hr1 vote the things they do? I love it, I just don't know if they are human or machine... They are all over the place and fast sometimes too.
Hi! Thanks for your support, @growingpower just upvoted your comment ;) Hope you have a great day
I really don't know if human or bot, but all over the place they are. I have dropped some of my wife's post in the post promotion room on steemit chat and one of those two will generally drop by and vote on the post, also have done it to other random post and they get votes also, so may be bots, but they never say why they voted.
hey i love that! what a great idea @bashadow thank you!
awesome @bashadow! Way to lead the way!
As always @amariespeaks, you are great!

Another great set of newbie posts! I like the one by @beekerst because of the old photographs. And it also reminded me of the time I traveled in Lousiana last year, didn't get the chance to see the forest area so it's nice to see from someone living there :)
That's cool you were in Louisiana @wanderlass ... I love the bayou and have some great clients there... They like their crawfish soup too ;)
We stayed in the French Quarter and I love the gumbo! That was my birthday holiday and visited my high school friend in Texas. But the US is sooooooo expensive. I haven't replenished my travel funds since then hahaha I loved the experience though. It's a really different world from here.
wow that's a cool birthday trip! I love the chicken and sausage gumbo too (not so much the seafood ones though)... And yes it is expensive especially the bigger cities, but its really cool that you did make it at least once. Also, I've been to manila, its very much like the US... just kidding... way too much traffic and nobody sleeps at night :)
I also like to travel to many different places, it is very cool to see the culture everywhere! Maybe I'll change my name to wanderlad
I know what you mean by the funds for travel, I haven't been anywhere in a couple years... Thanks to steemit though I feel like I do virtually though!
Hi! Thanks for your support, @growingpower just upvoted your comment ;) Hope you have a great day
Haha looks like wanderlad isnt taken yet, but everyone will go looking for you when you travel in the Steemitverse. :D
haha... I never thought to check... that's cool that its still available. And if I had more time, I'd grab it just have some fun with it! :)
Good post on Minnow Fridays... :)

I just logged on and saw that I was featured on @amariespeaks minnowmondays. It means a lot to this newbie. Am doing a portrait of Amarie's, if she will let me :) such love deserves to be returned
aww @lifetrainer you're welcome! I love what you're doing - art is so important :) I'd be honored to have a portrait done! Though I admit this logo picture is not the best visual reference lol
