That's awesome @athenajade and thanks for writing back! I think you are doing great and have all the potential do be amongst the top bloggers on Steemit as we go! You are a YouTuber so you know the importance of having a very long term approach to building a brand, visibility and earning and the same things apply here. Hoping you will consider making it to SteemFest 2017 and I'm sure you will love the atmosphere and the people there!
Things were going great until my friend's sister passed away this weekend, so it did pull me down but that's life and we have to take it as it comes.
