Gratitude & community are two things that are really necessary for human flourishing, so let's celebrate them both for a bit! For those of you who don't know, this is the @TribeSteemUp Community Abundance Generator. Started in summer of 2017, this is a project created to support, promote, and connect STEEM content creators focused on freedom, mindfulness, empowerment, and generally making the world a better place. To learn more about the background of the project, check out these posts:
From SteemReports
The Tribe is picking up STEEM!
The Tribe is finally going critical, we've got over 180 artists supported, 43 investors of STEEMPower, and 73 accounts folowing the curation trail! Many of you may have noticed a jump in your rewards recently... That's because last weekend, we received a delegation of almost 500,000 SteemPower from the amazing @jamesc (who happens to be the SP behind many of the best curators on the platform, and it is such an honor for our community to be something he wants to support!). Add to that the 7% upvote that @adamkokesh is following our curation trail with (with his SP also delegated from @jamesc), and it's now quite realistic for conscious world-changers to support themselves purely off their content.
Scrolling back through the blog-roll of @TribeSteemUp, it's been awesome to see how many posts about/mentioning the project there are in the last week, compared to the almost 0 not made by me (@kennyskitchen) for the 10 months before that (@adamkokesh did post this one just over 2 weeks ago).
Here's all the recent posts about @tribesteemup:
Discord makes it easier to connect
Some of us in the Tribe have been using a Telegram chat for some time, but because of the large number of us now, the limitations of Telegram, and the amount of the STEEM community that is already on Discord, @tribesteemup now has it's own Discord server!
Because the Discord server is meant to be private for the community, I have set anyone who joins to a role that does not allow for messaging or reading messages. Once I or someone else has added you as a Tribe Member, you'll have full access to the chat server. We've already got rooms for post promotion, contests, recommending new tribe members, and more; thought I'm excited to see what others want to co-create.
Important: the Discord server is only for members of the Tribe
I just don't have any other way to reach most of them.
Here is an invite to our server: https://discord.gg/TK6t7Aa
Revisiting the curation trail
The curation trail has grown quite a bit over the last few weeks since it was announced, and so has the number of creators and amount of content being created by the Tribe. Due to this, I have a recommendation to make about how you are following the Tribe's curation trail... [If you aren't sure what a curation trail is, check this out]
The above picture is what my (@kennyskitchen's) SteemAuto page looks like. With an 11% upvote following @TribeSteemUp, I make sure that my VP doesn't fall too drastically, even though the trail is now hitting an average of about 80 posts per day. I was up at around a 33% vote, but then as 20+ new members came on and many others began posting again after hiatuses, that was too much to keep in balance. Now, I generally have over 90% VP at any time of day, so I can even drop some big votes here and there, as well as rewarding those who leave thoughtful comments on my own posts.
From SteemOcean (by our very own @ura-soul)
What are you grateful for?
Gratitude is the key to abundance and joy, which are 2 keys to the paradigm shift. In honor of that, and as a reminder of how wonderful it feels to spread the wealth and empower others, every human-written, not bot-generated, thoughtful comment in response to the question "What are you grateful for?" will receiver a 1% upvote from @tribesteemup (currently worth about $1). Limit of 1 up-vote per account, and up-votes will only be given during the 7 days that this post is active.
It is a wonderful time to be alive, and it is so beautiful to be part of such an amazing community/project/movement/shift. We live at the intersection of blockchain & permaculture, freedom & mindfulness, cooperation & individuality, and each of us has SO much leverage to create the world we dream of!
I am grateful for having a perfect life, perfect health, no financial stress, and having lot of lovely people in my life. I am also grateful for being able to enjoy nature, understand people, solve problems, think critically.... I think all of these are gifts that I got in this life.
I am grateful for a number of blessings in my life, a loving wife, a cute kid, a sound health, good friends, and a good heart. I love to help people and when I see happiness on their face, it gives me great satisfaction, and I am grateful that I have this approach towards life.
I am grateful to have stumbled upon a thing called Steem about a year ago. Over the last 300 days or so I have been able to connect with people around the world, and it was only made possible because of Steem
Great project that I must admit I didn't know about until yesterday. Empowering conscious Steemians is one of the most important things we can do in this crucial times. The truth needs to be spread far and wide and supporting users who speak truth is the best thing we can currently do.
Although I'm currently not posting enlightening content I did before but got demotivated as the ones I wrote didn't get much engagemnt so writing a new one and spending a couple of days on it not to get it seen seemed pointless.
I'll get back to writing as soon as I get motivated again but until then I would like to support your tribe members by joining the curation trail. Never done it before, so could you explain how to set it up so it burns 5% of my VP daily? That's how much I can afford to give now as I'm planning to join another trail with 5% and spend the other 10% manually.
Upvoted for visibility.
Opps soz deleted, meant to post it above
I'm most grateful to God almighty for the privilege to see a brand new morning, for this level of growth for friends, family, FOR STEEMIT, and for lifr in general
I do a regular stream on YouTube, which I currently crosspost to DTube (trying to work DLive streams without sounding robotic), a weekly eRadio show which is also avail as a podcast, a podcast series I'm starting up, and a news series I'm starting. I'll also be doing daily content, M-F as soon as I get enough Patreon patrons. All this is focused on anarchy, government corruption, verifiable conspiracies (nothing which I can't find solid supporting evidence for), and what can be done to minimize and end the state. I also do this with as many people as possible, because I want to bring other people up with me, and because having differing perspectives checks my ideas, and refines them in the fire. I need all the support I can get, and I'm wondering what I can do to be curated by #TribeSteemUp. Willing to throw 20% VP at this even tho it's not much at this point. I joined the Steemit as insanityisfree, and I look forward to your reply, should there be one. Would love my gratefulness post to include my addition to tis project, and I'd love to become a valuable asset in the years to come.
I'm grateful for live. It supersedes every other thing
Am so grateful to be among the living soul...@tribesteemup
Someone referred me to this post as it sound like you are a large step ahead of something we are trying to accomplish with the Pay It Forward Curation Contest. Plans are in the works to set up a community account to help out the great curators and those they curate. If you happen to have a few minutes to share some tips that might save us some time I'm on discord under the same name and #6765
Since I'm here, what I'm grateful for. I must say that the community of people who are willing to take the time out of their lives to help others. The other day I posted some random thoughts that kind of turned into my thanking everyone for their efforts. I was included in a list that in no way I've earned yet, but it was an honor and made me feel that I was just getting credit for the work of others.
People who are willing to spend hours to curate newbies and help drive them some traffic amaze me and help keep me motivated each and every day to come back to steemit. These people deserve not only my gratitude, but so that of more on steemit as they are doing the work that will help keep newbies around increasing the active user count.
So I'm grateful for steemit and the way it allows our large crazy world to become a little smaller and seem less crazy. For this platform allows people from around the world to share their stories and people from all around the world to show how we all care for each other as people not caring where each other are from or our colors...we are just people helping people.
So very grateful for there are other people out there that have a #payitforward mentality.
"What are you grateful for?
A big question to which I have a rather small answer.
For my live that I have a wonderful family that I love, a wife and a girl that represents everything for me, and today I thank you for finding you in my search through the Steemit site.

When I came into steemit, it was tough, but I'm grateful today for what I've achieved.
Also, I'm grateful for the breadth I breath. All thanks to God.

I am thankful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is interminable. It is astonishing how placated one can be with nothing unequivocal - just a feeling of presence. All things considered, anything for assortment. I am prepared to attempt this for the following ten thousand years, and fumes it. How sweet to consider! my furthest points all around scorched, and my scholarly part as well, so that there is no risk of worm or decay for quite a while. My breath is sweet to me.
