Congratulations! You are inspiring to me (and I assume others as well). You set the example that if you work at it and are determined, you can do it. I also appreciate you desire to help others in their journey. The steemit ecosystem is huge and can be very overwhelming to new folks because it is so different than other things we have experienced. It takes time and experimenting to figure out one's own niche here. Looking forward to the day you become a whale 🐳
