@michelle-gent just reading your post takes me back to SF1. It was truly an experience beyond experiences. Connecting with others from all over the world with our common thread - Steemit - was truly a profound adventure. From screen name to heartfelt connections we rose, and then it was as if our relationships just took off on a whirl-wind of expansion all their own. I suppose that is why we are encouraging others to make SF2 if at all possible.

Living in community, as I do at the @gardenofeden, it is VERY apparent that it is EVERYONE's responsibility to take care of things. Blaming others never serves, never resolves things, and never gets things done. Only when we OURSELVES take responsibility for the whole will we create the profound reality we wish to experience.

This is a very thought provoking and inspiring post. I'm inspired by your commitment to be more present with the minnows. It can be frustrating to constantly be badgered with begging and spamming. I agree with nurturing our minnows. Showing them, encouraging them, and helping them find their way in the vast sea of Steemit is the answer. We must continually show them the example and we must have patience to help them see that the way they have been shown is truly not of benefit to the whole. Keeping the best interest of the whole in mind is truly being of service to the community, so stepping up our part to help them find their way will benefit us all.

I really appreciate your post. Thank you for sharing!
