Thank you, @kwakumax! Your kind words mean a lot to me. It's been such a whirlwind of "Steemit" activity, I can't believe all this happened in barely one year! But yes, your wise set of "ingredients" above will get you where you want to be. I'm loving my experience here and can't wait to see what the next full year brings.

Thank you so much for the great comments. :)
