Surely it hasn't been easy for anyone to start life at Steemit. Some will have left without much perseverance, others have been constant and persistent. Most left with the Hardford. Communities? There are many but like many users several have disappeared.

As for the latter, on my way through the currents of the platform I found a roof where I could take shelter, it's my @Radiosteemit house. There I found a family with great people, starting with their administrator @Avellana. Then I got to know other communities where I felt comfortable.

Within those communities I made good friends but outside them too; I can mention some who helped me a lot to navigate in these waters; @mariart1, @psi1826 (@elotro), @aremontilla and I can't leave behind those who took me by their hand and I consider them my @samic and @dariuska2008 mentors; with all of them I keep in touch. In spite of the communication, I miss their writings even though @elotro and @aremontilla publish infrequently. I love them.

In @Radiosteemit we have consolidated an extraordinary group of women with the desire to continue working for and through the platform, regardless of the interests. We have a group in whatsapp where we have fun with the madness of each one. I can't say who is the most focused because there is always one who comes up with an idea. I can confirm that we have a lot of fun and laugh at every prank. In that group we contributed ideas for the good functioning of the #12votos challenge and the different teams that make up the club. We are the girls from @Club12's team.

The bonds of friendship that I have achieved in Steemit are priceless. Currently, I have arrived at another community where I have been received as a member of the family and I refer to #Powerhousecreatives of @Steemitbloggers. We are a bit distant in language but not so distant anymore because @Jaynie the administrator put a translator. Great idea. I wish other communities would embrace the concept! That way, we Spanish speakers wouldn't feel so far away. They are an admirably supportive community.

All these friendships and communities have contributed favorably to my growth as a Steemit user. I cannot fail to mention @belkisa758 and @slwzl, great comadres who have not had any pettiness in sharing their knowledge with me and surely with others.

Grateful and blessed by each and every one of these people and communities who have given me tools to keep moving forward in Steemit.

Thank you to all of you!
