Community
This past week has been incredible in the #steemfam community for me. As always I feel blessed to interact with a really neat and diverse group of individuals here. Though notably, I was able to win! a contest which was very near and dear to my heart. A contest about family, spring and meditation. You can check out the winning entry here if you like. At the very same moment I noticed @ground2feet's comment about winning, i wanted to upvote the comment and .... what!!!? the slidy bar appears!!! It was such an incredible exciting moment. I visited steemworld.com to see what was going on. I'd been blessed the opportunity to become a member of my deeply respected friend @wwf's 'Stewards of Terra Matter' community. Wow! What an honour. I also want to give a shout out for the @asapers community I have been a part of since the beginning of February. It is a great place of manuel curation. Where we help support, encourage & promote new and undervalued posters.

Healing Arts Work
I am grateful that I have been guided, supported and brave enough to carve out my path through teaching yoga, and offering healing sessions. Through training and practice with essential oils and other plant medicine, reiki, shamanic healing methods, crystals and a few other healing tools. I have cultivated a deep and personal means of healing. Which is especially useful personally. As I recover from a near death car wreck last summer. Driving on the tretchurous spring/ winter highways has been especially challenging. But, these healing methods help keep me sane and grounded in an extremely caffuffled world!
Spring!! ๐ต๐น๐ธ๐๐ธ๐น๐ต
Aside from winning a contest about spring, it is a HUGE releif to smell, feel, hear & see spring slowly awakening!! It is such a blessed comfort to embrace a new season. A new phase. A new chapter in life. And, to know this newness is available in each breath we take if we want it.
Thank-you so much for reading thus through! I'd love to get to know you better by reading your posts about the things you're grateful for ๐ต๐น๐

Have a wonderful day ๐๐ธ๐๐น๐ต
You are right about @harvardhomstead she did the banner. I love all the emojies that you have here on your posts. I am not sure how to do that. I also think my computer is too old for that. Maybe it is the program.
Good to see you keeping up your spirits. Did you get the warm of the sun yesterday. We had such a good melt. I am going to try to do a post about it. I is so good to see spring beginning. Now out here we have some mud in with our snow. However I like mud better than snow.
Hi Carey! So grateful to be a fellow member of the Stewards of Terra Mater with you ๐ค๐น๐ธ๐ต๐ i get the emojis by using my phone keyboard. Don't think computer keyboards have them. Oh, man! The roads and events this weekend were hopefully the worst that will be. The weather & arrival of spring SO WELCOME! (Yes! I am yelling!) Today, ๐ค was our last snow storm! Lucky you don't mind mud. My only love and use for mud is to soak in it let the sun dry it and then shower off. All outdoors. If only!!!!!! I will take snow over mud! Skip mud, go straight to grass!! Green Grass ๐๐๐๐
I really appreciate our interactions. Thank-you SO much for your support. ๐ธ๐น๐
Hey there, good to hear from you. Yes it is good to see you on the Stewards of Terra Matter.
I never thought to write posts from my phone. That certainly would make it more fun to have the emojis.
We had a snow storm last night and I was thinking about you. Thankfully this snow won't stick around long. It is so nice to have the warmer temperatures. I think the other issue is that we havn't had much sun this April, at least not up here. I am trying to start a garden in the house and it is taking longer because the clouds are out. I am almost done planting the whole garden, except the root veggies. My house looks like a greenhouse.
I agree with you, skipping to green grass would be the best. I sure hope the sun comes out and we move to green grass soon.
I am happy to chat with you. I really enjoy it as well. Thank you for your support as well. :)
Welcome to the team Jill. I hope the Stewards of Terra Mater can provide you with the support and encouragement to continue your work to help people heal. May the publicity bring more followers to your blog as you exemplify the work that is necessary to hold the space of healthy relationships and helping to heal Mother Earth through your own work and spirituality. I know you are a welcome addition to the team and may the steem serve you and others well. Peace to you. I ask for nothing in return, instead pay it forward!
Wow Rob, i am taken back. It's a lot to take in. The opportunity is phenomenal! I feel so greatly blessed. No doubt i will do my best. Keep learning, growing and carving out a good path. And, leaving an honourable legacy. I look forward to being a team member and watching us all grow!! Step by step ๐ธ๐๐ธ
This is such happy news, I'm glad you're finding so many like minds here YAY!! And the slider bar wooohooooo!! Congrats Jill, you deserve all the success in the world :) xo
Thanks girl ๐๐๐ Thank-you so much!! It means so much to me that you stop by and comment and add so much encouragement. Just so grateful for you! Need to start getting those walk with me's in! I think today was our last snow storm ๐ค
I sure hope it's the last one, wow, you guys have had a very harsh winter :( Was the snow gone at least off of the ground before it started again, or?
Haha if only! Its still a few feet deep where I am. Though many of the hills and lots of grass in and around the freeways in Calgary are clear of snow. Snowyiest winter ever i think. I honestly don't listen/ watch any news though. How's your spring coming along? Are you getting ready to plant soon? I really want to pop over to your blog tomorrow. ๐๐
I am so glad for you . the slider changes so much
this is such an inspiring post , thank you :)
Hey @wolfhart! Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment. The slidy bar is awesome!! How are those bunnies?! Are the coyotes staying away?
doing good , cold is getting to them there staying in their burrows , through some carrots and lettuce around.
I have a big riffel no worries .
Do they scare off with shots or do you have to shoot them?
they scare of 90% of the time , if it dark you have no choice but to scare them off . can't take a chance on hitting a horse
No kidding! Hitting a horse would be terrible!! I am still baffled that they don't eat your garden!
me to , but we got a new season coming up . so we'll see how it goes this year
Very timely. I just posted mine. I have been wanting to do another grateful post and glad that I did. I am thankful for the support every community here in steemit gives.
Hi @leeart! Nice of you to stop by & comment. Isn't it a fun place to connect with people?! Have a wonderful day!!
Yes, indeed! Even before I joined the curation and engagement contest I have been interacting a lot because I like knowing about people more.
Can you tell me more about the curation and engagement contest? I don't know what that is.
It is the weekly contest of @abh12345 wherein we get to win additional steem and steem power from our activities here. Full details can be read here.
Thank-you for the link! I will check it out.
