So as I read down through the challenge one person came to mind, krazykrista@krazykrista. My first introduction to the Whaleshares community was when I stumbled into one of her random Discord chats. The next day I find these "whaleshares" in my Bitshares wallet.

As I read down through the rules all seemed good. Then the "Challenge Rewards" and OH Crap! Krazy lady is the judge! Guess I will pass on this one as I don't want to be the guy that tries to kiss up to the judge.




Curiosity got the best of me and I started to check out the other entries. Low and behold I see a lot of mentions of Miss Krista. Then it hit me like a BRICK! Fuzzy is a genius! I wish I could say it came to me in a dream, but I'm not as gifted as lindahas@lindahas.

Most people that give from their heart, don't like being thanked. In fact, they feel uncomfortable about it and try to avoid it. By making krazykrista@krazykrista the judge she is forced to read through all the entries and see all those that she has touched (appropriately 馃槈). And that is why originalfuzzy@originalfuzzy is so brilliant!

As I continue down through the comments looking for entries I come across krazykrista@krazykrista helping someone out with whaleshares. Why aren't I surprised?

Not to linger on krazykrista@krazykrista, because I can't make this post about her. However I do agree with what everyone else is saying about her. Except harsh! Vulgar at times, yes, but never harsh. 馃懜

I would also like to thanks ALL the Whaleshare mods, host, curators, [your title here], for their generosity, time, support and help to all of us newbies. Although I haven't got to interact with all of you, the encouragement from freedomexists@freedomexists, krazykrista@krazykrista, akrid@akrid, and steempowerpics@steempowerpics have given me the drive to keep chugging away at it. I wonder how many great content creators have given up and left steemit? If they had only found the Whaleshares community.




But, the thing that really makes this Whaleshares community so great to me is the members. I can't list them all, but I do appreciate every one of you. feedomexists@feedomexists show has become like a family to me. I anxiously await to see what people have to share.



There are a few that have really inspired me through my short time here. I would have never met any of them outside of Steemit and the Whaleshares community.

First up is dreamingirwin@dreamingirwin. Here is a guy that I probably have very little in common with. Yet I have the deepest respect for him and he is just so genuine and caring. He never misses making a thoughtful comment on my posts and often we comment back and forth at length. He has even hit me a few times with upvotes from drotto@drotto. This guy is going to go far, and he deserves it.

alexpmorris@alexpmorris for his brilliant technical insight on crypto and investing, but also his taken time to respond to my questions and comments. I enjoy his humor/sarcasm as well.

Shout outs to karencarrens@karencarrens and warrkin@warrkin for their continued support and encouragement.

And finally, jackjohanneshemp@jackjohanneshemp. What is there to say about Jack other than he is a pillar in this community. He is perhaps my biggest inspiration to keep sharing my beekeeping knowledge. From the first time I presented Jack's enthusiasm for the bees has been overwhelming. Whenever I do a post that is not beekeeping related Jack is the first to let me know his disappointment (in a good way). He even made me this great banner, so now I'm all set to fill in for freedomexists@freedomexists next time he is ill....
