Well done @papa-pepper. Be proud of yourself because you earned that cash. You did the work, invested the time and effort and positivity in your posts and stuck with it when other threw in the towel.

That's why when I welcome a new person to Steemit tell them to follow you.

You are our success story. You are proof it can be done. You are leading the way for the rest of us and giving us hope that one day we might achieve the same milestones.

So well done, and thanks for being you. ;-)
