I always find learning about you to be fascinating @stellabelle. You pushed me out of the nest quickly so I wouldn't become dependent on you like a crutch for my success.

I do have another story or two that I think may be something for the secret writer as I continue to write my heart out hours a day (honestly probably about 10+ hours).

I love your work ethic and I continue to support you and I think you need some sort special recognition for all you have done for many people. You are an integral part of steemit and you have a unique voice and vision for how to say things and create things that impact people deeply.

I hope this doesn't strike you the wrong way as I am almost sure you want no pity, but I think the community would be happy to help you out number 17.
I don't know if you have written about the bills you have or if you want to,
but I would love to see your debt erased and for you to write solely for enjoyment, instead of necessity.

I don't have children, but I do have a niece and nephews and I respect how you want to provide for your daughter and are willing to work tirelessly to do so.

If you had not reached out to me and given me my first $.09, I may not be here today. I like many others had very little success, but I took a step back and learned from you and @rok-sivante. You have both transformed my view of others.

I would never have done this before to someone I felt was being disrespectful.

Appreciate you @stellabelle. You've changed my life. I'd consider it an honor to be a black swan if that is something you feel I have the capability of doing with you.
