Hello @Stellabelle, I just wanted to say that I absolutely love your positive energy. You are clearly driven by passion. Doing what you love will not only add an incredible amount of value to your life but to all of those who your work affects. Congratulations on reaching 6k followers!
Passion is what drives me too as an independent journalist. I have a burning desire to bring the unfiltered truth to my readers. I haven't felt this passionate about anything in years and now it's what I spend most of my time immersed in.
I have been on steemit for less than a month and absolutely love it. My only wish is that I had signed up earlier but I didn't know it existed till a few people mentioned it to me on facebook as a great alternative.
The feedback I have recieved has been positive, and I have had the pleasure of interacting with many wonderful like minded people that value my reporting, investigations, articles and interviews.
I wish you continued success, happiness, and great health! Have a wonderful day from one of your new followers :-)
