Lots of changes over the past few weeks. @skycae and @salmanbukhari54 have both done very well and are now swimming the ocean on their own. So please go visit @skycae as she developed a wonderful blog and following. If you want to learn about living off the grid, growing food or any of that sort of thing, she can help. @salmanbukhari54 is sharing his spiritual journey and other topics that he loves. Good luck to both of you and job well done on building a blog that people love to read and support!
I find that with the larger spread between SBD and steem, the speed in which people can grow their accounts is slowing down. We have had a few people drop off and I hope that when they return, the will contact me. I would be more than happy to bring @harvardhomestead and @realtreebivvy back into the team. They are busy right now, so we will wait for them to return.
The current members of the Stewards of Terra Mater are doing well. If you are interested in some deeply impactful, insightful and relevant spiritual and philosophical conversations, then I HIGHLY recommend that you visit @mistermercury. I absolutely love his blog and I foresee him being a powerful influence on the blockchain. His capacity to create beautiful writings with deep and meaningful messages is astounding. His blog is a work of art, in my opinion.
Speaking of art, @aloha-creations is an indigenous artist from Hawaii who creates some beautiful art of her own. You may want to check out her blog. @yogajill is a yoga instructor and her blog is unfolding as an exploration of her journey in life as well. She has some interesting insights.
@foxyspirit is a dear friend of @earthmother (honourary steward and past member) and writes a lot of interesting posts about her relationships as well. Her journey will help you look within and reflect about your own stuff too! @borrowedearth is blogging about off grid living as well, so if you want to see another homesteader, her solutions to problems that she faces, then her blog is a good one to follow.
What is the Stewards of Terra Mater?
I created this group a long time ago to help pay it forward, to help new users get established and contribute to my community. I was specifically looking for people who were living off grid, doing deep spiritual work or working hard to UNGRIP from the system. By supporting these individuals with steem that I don't necessarily need or use, it was my way to help pay it forward and demonstrate that this platform can express the principles of prosperity for all through our own activities. The goal is to help people get their blogs established so that they can swim the ocean on their own as starting out here can be complex, intimidating and technically challenging.
My work here on steem is slowing down right now as we are in the middle of spring planting, summer building and will quickly be into fall harvesting. However, come winter time, I will be resting and having a lot more time to dedicate to my blog, my relationships with all of you and continuing the efforts to help other people heal, UNGRIP and be self sufficient and fully independent.
Special shout out to @aggroed
I do want to make a special mention to a witness, friend and active member of the steemit community. @aggroed started the minnow support program and he also has a few others too. I've delegated steem to one of his initiative called @msp-curration so that my steem can be used to help other users. I do encourage people to help support programs like this as the success of everyone means the success of the individual. We help the group by helping all the individuals within that group. Look past the greed, violence and other shit going down around us. We succeed by building strength within our community despite the illness of a few individuals within it. Thank you @aggroed for finding peaceful and very effective ways to help others in their quest as well.
Some help for new users
I've written some posts during my rise to become a dolphin on this platform. If you are new to steem, here are my thoughts on how you can increase your success on this platform:
