First of all, let me just say that I love your heart in this. I think it's amazing that you're using SP that you could profit with, but you're choosing to help bless and grow the community. You had talked about using Steem to put food on the table, so it's really admirable that you're choosing to use that SP to grow Steemit instead. Don't take food off the table just to bless us though. ;)
I was one of the ones fortunate enough to win a delegation the first time around, and I even got the bonus delegation. It was such a joy to have a larger upvote for the last month. It was tempting at times to self-vote, but I decided to stick with my plan of using my SP to continue to build the community around me.
This was one of the coolest experiences I've had on Steemit and it was such a positive one. Thank you so much! I wrote a wrap-up post here.
