The blessings continue...

I love STEEM. I mean, I really LOVE it. Not quite as much as God and my girl, but STEEM comes in closely, at third. So, why do I love STEEM, so much?

The value of STEEM is not weighted on it's peg. At least, not for me. No, rather, the value of STEEM is in it's community engagement and opportunity for self-exploration. Through this platform, I have learned SO much about myself. All the while, I received positive reinforcement from STEEM's community's members. I also received constructive criticism, and that criticism has been invaluable to the forward progress in my life.

The members of the STEEM community have been there for me and my girl during our struggle against addiction. We came from the bottom, literally, from the ground floor, without a roof over our heads. We started the year, 2019, laying on the forest floor, in rain, as we held one another. We owned nothing but the clothes on our backs. We started our struggle against addiction some time around when I first started actively posting on STEEM.

I was selfish. My head was filled with all kinds of dreams and ideas. Not all of them were really bad, but I didn't know how to achieve any of my goals. My mind was so warped from living on the streets, that I could not seem to comprehend the steps that it would take to get me to them. One hundred and three days later, we are on our way to buy our first home together. It is a 31' Chiefton RV that we are paying for with cash. WE ARE SO EXCITED!!!

We have not had a home in over a year, and things are finally looking up! We are so grateful. I have been very busy writing a book, attending appointments and trying to land my first gig on Upwork. As a result, I missed the contest for, "How STEEM Has Impacted My Life," posts.

HOWEVER, that does NOT mean that I am not going to give my contribution. I am not writing this for a contest. I am writing this, because I truly appreciate all of you in the STEEM community. The deepest gratitude to all of you from myself and my girl, @audiefaith.
