<div class="text-justify">Hello, everyone!  I am back!  Thank you so much @brittandjosie for taking up the slack the past couple of weeks.  Between the passing of my father and the Global Block Builders Conference, I was so busy!  I couldn't have done the post during that time and I appreciate her hard work!  This conference helped me learn so many new and interesting things and enabled me to meet some amazing people. So, let's get down to business and introduce some new people!</div>
<br>

<div class="text-justify">Often we get stuck in a rut and tend to only look at what is in our feed; this causes us to miss some amazing posts.  What's even worse, we miss those introduction posts of new people who are not just not being seen.  We decided, because we have felt the same frustration with our introduction, we are going to introduce the people we thought were deserving of your attention.</div>
<br>

<center>![HHYM.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/heyhaveyamet/IreBh5f0-HHYM.png)</center>
<br>

<div class"text-justify">Our plan is for this to be a daily project, as daily as we can possibly do. However, with us visiting every REAL introduction post and commenting with a short personal message and link to <a href="https://steemit.com/steemit/@xcountytravelers/welcome-to-the-world-of-steemit"> our welcome post</a> we run extremely low on Resource Credits. Please keep watching our posts and see who's out there when we can post a "Have Ya Met...?".</div>
<br>

<div class="text-justify">If you would like to help us be able to reach more new Steemians and weed out the real introductions for you, please consider helping us out with your delegation.  Every little bit helps us to reach out a hand to those who might not ever be noticed in this big ocean of little fish.</div>

<br>

<div class="text-justify">Thank you so much for joining @brittandjosie and myself in this endeavor.  We wanted to do our part in helping new people get their introductions noticed. We understand how they must be feeling because both of us have been exactly where they are.  I, @xcountytravelers,  was very frustrated because knew I had a very good quality post with little reaction while other "trending" introductions were a poor quality photo and little verbiage.  I was so discouraged and heartbroken; this should not happen to anyone. Therefore, we are on the lookout for these people and will do our best to bring them to your attention.</div>

![Show Us.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmfPfE3mkrVhankv2qF8KfKmbozqy9t6cTQqjFGHKfniVp/Show%20Us.png)

# <center>Show Us Your California</center>
<br>

#### <center>A SoCal Steemit Contest is here!</center>

Since our group is local and all about building community, we thought the best way to build community is to get to know each other a little bit better.

What better way to get to know each other than to show us *Your California*!

![Your California.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcxHHEzTMnLRxCw4kzvy8BrkGUjjbhvf9r5Dcp4Ujk48D/Your%20California.png)

## The Prizes

We have 4 SBI memberships on the table.

# <center>* 1st     3 SBI</center>
# <center>* 2nd.  1 SBI</center>

### <center>All entries will receive a 100% upvote from SoCalSteemit!</center>

*if you are not familiar with SBI (Steem Basic Income), it is an upvote for life. If you only have one share, it is a small upvote, but as you accumulate more, the upvote can be substantial. Check out the @steembasicincome account for more information.
 
![Your California.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcxHHEzTMnLRxCw4kzvy8BrkGUjjbhvf9r5Dcp4Ujk48D/Your%20California.png)

## The Contest

We want you to show us Your California. That could be your neighborhood, a hike in the mountains, a trip to the mall or beach, a visit to a museum, a BBQ in your backyard. Whatever it is that represents *Your California*  at the time. 

It is hard to choose, right? No worries, we will run this on a weekly basis. You can show us all the different aspects of *Your California.*

These are the ways you can show us:

* A photo (or more than one) with at least 50 words of text.
* A video
* A story or a poem
* A piece of art the represents *Your California* - please add some text why it is representing California

What next:

* Use the tag #mycalifornia and #socalsteemit on your post.
* Drop the link to your post in the comments of this post.
* Use one of the the SoCalSteemit footer banners in your post.

If you don't have the footer banners yet - you can find them in our [discord](https://discord.gg/TeX8QBz) server in the "info" channel.

The [Cajon Pass](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cajon_Pass) is where the [San Andreas fault](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Andreas_Fault) crosses the [transverse ranges](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_Ranges) and divides the [San Gabriel mountains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gabriel_Mountains) and the [San Bernardino mountains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Bernardino_Mountains). The [Mojave freeway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Interstate_15_in_California), [highway 138](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_State_Route_138), the [Pacific Crest Trail](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pacific_Crest_Trail), and a [BNSF railway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BNSF_Railway) run through the pass. And there are many interesting things to see in the area such as [Lost lake](http://digital-desert.com/lost-lake/), [Cajon creek](http://digital-desert.com/cajon-pass/cajon-creek/), the [Mormon rocks](http://digital-desert.com/mormon-rocks/), [historic Route 66](http://digital-desert.com/cajon-pass/route-66.html), Coyote creek, Lone Pine canyon, and more!

The Cajon Pass</center>

On this trip to the Cajon pass we took a short hike along the Pacific Crest Trail to check out the blooming wildflowers and the neat sandstone rock formations. We started by the McDonalds, then crossed underneath the freeway, crossed Cajon creek, and started climbing up the trail.  Before long we arrived at some of the rock formations. We wandered around the area checking out the wildflowers and climbing around on the rocks. We got up on one of the rocks and it had a really nice view over the area so we took a little break there and relaxed for awhile just enjoying being out on such a nice day!

After exploring all around the many rock formations we got back on the trail and hiked back down to the trailhead by the McDonalds and then headed home. It was a fairly short hike, but it was lots of fun. And the weather was perfect for a hike! 

## <center>I hope you have enjoyed this weeks glimpse into My California!</center>

# <center>Show Us Your California</center>
<br>

#### <center>A SoCal Steemit Contest is here!</center>

Since our group is local and all about building community, we thought the best way to build community is to get to know each other a little bit better.

What better way to get to know each other than to show us *Your California*!

![Your California.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcxHHEzTMnLRxCw4kzvy8BrkGUjjbhvf9r5Dcp4Ujk48D/Your%20California.png)

## The Prizes

We have 4 SBI memberships on the table.

# <center>* 1st     3 SBI</center>
# <center>* 2nd.  1 SBI</center>

### <center>All entries will receive a 100% upvote from SoCalSteemit!</center>

*if you are not familiar with SBI (Steem Basic Income), it is an upvote for life. If you only have one share, it is a small upvote, but as you accumulate more, the upvote can be substantial. Check out the @steembasicincome account for more information.

## The Contest

We want you to show us Your California. That could be your neighborhood, a hike in the mountains, a trip to the mall or beach, a visit to a museum, a BBQ in your backyard. Whatever it is that represents *Your California*  at the time. 

It is hard to choose, right? No worries, we will run this on a weekly basis. You can show us all the different aspects of *Your California.*

These are the ways you can show us:

* A photo (or more than one) with at least 50 words of text.
* A video
* A story or a poem
* A piece of art the represents *Your California* - please add some text why it is representing California

What next:

* Use the tag #mycalifornia and #socalsteemit on your post.
* Drop the link to your post in the comments of this post.
* Use one of the the SoCalSteemit footer banners in your post.

If you don't have the footer banners yet - you can find them in our [discord](https://discord.gg/TeX8QBz) server in the "info" channel.

This afternoon, the family and I went on one of our favorite afternoon drives to Hospital Rock.

The colors were amazing today, and Moro Rock was covered in clouds, until we arrived at Hospital Rock.

Therefore, the more people that enter, the bigger the prize pool gets which means bigger prize payouts for the Top 3 places! Here's where it gets juicy! You can top up your entry fee as much as you wish; making greater prize payouts possible. 

There will then be a dpoll to decide the most popular of the choices and you will score points based on the popularity of your choices. The 3 with the most points will receive a share of this growing prize pool! Bingo 😃 

If you’re ready to get your feet wet, let’s dive in to this month’s topic!

## How To Enter This Spectacular Contest
<br>
1 - Create a blog post with your top 3 nominations along with your reasoning behind them. You must use the #phctop3 tag

2 - Put a link to your blog in the comments section of this blog. 

3 -  Set your post payout to 50/50. You keep the SP and then transfer the STEEM or SBD (whichever is paid out at the time) to @phctop3 with a link to your blog post entry in the transfer memo.

<h2><center>**The deadline for submitting is the 9th April 2019**</center></h2>

<center>![text16.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcvVqhGMbF1KAHTn9Wh8FiRhmpAbiEuAKerVM7ugDnXfX/text16.png)</center>

We have created a blog template which you can use to help get you started if you wanted. Click [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1JGqxjPSaPc8qe6ntWpxDNXMNEln_i0MnpoZINf0383g/edit?usp=sharing) for the Markup Template or [here](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ffBhRJh4D7pKU8FJcFtIw60xFj1Zh4-lb-IAdqz-b5s/edit?usp=sharing) for the Non Markup Template to view it and copy & paste in to your steemit post editor.

How detailed you want to go is up to you but we know you can do better than “because I like it” 😉

Our Panel members may create their own post with their own top 3 but these will NOT be entered in to the contest. Instead they will be used to add to the prize pool for bigger prize payouts.

# What Happens Next?

The Panel will first review all submissions for eligibility. 

Following this, the Panel will then have a recorded voice chat and decide on their own top 10 picks from all submissions. This is for amusement purposes only and will not affect the results - you may agree or completely disagree with their picks!

Then all submissions will be put into a public dpoll with a recording of our chat to let the people of Steem vote on their favourite submissions. 

Once this dpoll is complete, we’ll review the results  and combine them with our scoring system before dishing out the prizes to the top 3!

The prizes get divided up by a combination of the final position (1st, 2nd and 3rd) and by the amount of entry fee given. 75% of the prize pool will be distributed to the top 3 places and the remaining 25% of the prize pool goes back to the  Panel with the aim of growing the account.

## Good Luck!

Alright! Let’s get this ocean in motion and get your ideas flowing as we excitingly wait for your entries!

Wishing you all the best of luck from all of us in the PHC Top 3 Panel

# WHO WE ARE AND HOW WE OPERATE
</center>

<div class="text-justify">

As most of you already know our community is closed. This does not mean that we are trying to keep people out or that we ignore those who aren’t members – it simply means that we are focused on keeping our standards of content high and our member commitment higher. 

I am not going to sugar-coat things for anybody, because it would not make any sense whatsoever, nor would it serve anybody fruitfully - long-term. Our community is incredibly proactive - and DRIVING the success and growth of the people within it is our FUNDAMENTAL PURPOSE, because this is how they are able to do the same in return for other individuals in communities beyond our own! Our reach extends WAY beyond our own walls and this is one of the primary reasons why it is important to ALL OF US that each of our members are able to hold our flag high wherever they may roam. 

We work hard, we play hard - we support one another through thick and thin, we know whats going on in our "3D" lives and no matter what it is - we are there for each other! Yes, there are daily responsibilities and obligations. Yes, there are things that fly within our walls and things that definitely don’t. Yes, we require quite a bit from you as an individual but you get it tenfold in return and ANY ONE of our members will gladly testify to this. Absolutely EVERYTHING is catered for and considered… including those times when you will NOT be able to fulfill your obligations. It simply requires the following of our procedures, which once you have grasped – are not complicated at all.

Everybody in our community jokes about my “boot” because they know that there are certain things that never were and never will be tolerated within our walls… and when they surface, those people will very quickly meet my infamous “boot” sending them out the door – or at least showing them that it is open. A few such things would be the likes of: not doing what you promised to do when joining, not being a team player, plagiarism, spamming, causing trouble with other members etc. These are all no-brainers really, so should not be much of a shock or challenge to anyone who is actually on Steemit (or any other platform) to make it a better place for everyone!

We may be a relatively small collective, but we have approx. 118 members from over 30 countries and that continues to grow. Most of our members are also key players in some of Steemits other highly regarded and supportive discord communities and initiatives - and all of us at “home” know without question or doubt that every single one of our members will make us proud with whatever they do – wherever they go – and that is precisely how we intend to keep it. Simple as that! No, this kind of “ethos” does not work for everyone – and that is perfectly fine - Each to their own. The people who have done the *“putting in”* are the ones that understand what they *“get out”* of it all ;) We are a team that is here for the long haul! We are here to give #STEEM our ALL and if that resonates with you, then we would absolutely LOVE to have you join us!

I was wearing flip flops and a singlet, he asked about my foot wear looking concerned and I explained it's all I brought with me and I'll be fine.It was still dark as we trekked up the volcano but he provided small flash lights so it was rather easy really.Finally after two hours of walking we reached the top, apparently doing this trek in flip flops is a big deal to the locals as they were all amazed, but still charged me $3 for a cup of hot tea.....

<h3> <center> For this weeks [Show Us Your California](https://steemit.com/mycalifornia/@socalsteemit/show-us-your-california-contest-week-24) contest by @socalsteemit I take you to a beautiful canyon in the San Gabriel mountains...</center></h3>

# <center> San Antonio Canyon!!</center>

<center>![SoCal divider.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRstk5mCnNayTNGKbrvzUGxhBKiiWdz8sbpZisqpDZ3SE/SoCal%20divider.jpg)</center>

San Antonio Canyon is a huge canyon in the [San Gabriel mountains](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Gabriel_Mountains). And in it is the [town of Mt. Baldy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Baldy,_California). Which as the name suggests sits at the foot of [Mt. Baldy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_San_Antonio) the tallest mountain in [Los Angeles county](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Los_Angeles_County,_California)!! Besides the town, the canyon features  the [Mt. Baldy ski resort](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Baldy_Ski_Lifts), the beautiful [San Antonio creek](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Creek_(San_Bernardino_County)), as well as many awesome hiking trails that can take you all over the surrounding mountains and canyons! 

<center>![20882240_1616169365080862_6669341154508641834_n.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmapz3Xv6Qyej7dgaYmwzYterDsYD8QH6yiMA3KvesCNVE/20882240_1616169365080862_6669341154508641834_n.jpg)
San Antonio Creek</center>

On this trip to San Antonio canyon my buddy Pat and I started at the Barrett-Stoddard road and hiked down to the top of the Baldy slide which is a really cool natural waterslide on the creek! The water was flowing pretty good, but the pool looked really shallow. We continued hiking down the remnants of the old road and Pat showed me a bunch of cool stuff including a hidden cabin deep down in the canyon bottom where someone has built a home on top of an old cabin ruins is actually living there!

The hidden cabin</center>

We continued down canyon and checked out Hidden lake which was really just a small mossy pond, but it was nice. And we checked out the old boyscout camp and the old water gauge station.

The old boy scout camp</center>

Then we headed back upstream, rock hopping up the creek bed. We went up the creek all the way to the bottom of the Baldy slide where we confirmed our suspicions about the pool being shallow. It was only around 3 feet deep. We cooled off in the water and cleaned up all the trash from all the litter bugs that come to the slide. Then we climbed up from the creek and headed back up the old road to our car at the Barrett-Stoddard road. Wrapping up another beautiful day of hiking in the San Gabriel mountains!

# <center>Show Us Your California</center>
<br>

#### <center>A SoCal Steemit Contest is here!</center>

Since our group is local and all about building community, we thought the best way to build community is to get to know each other a little bit better.

What better way to get to know each other than to show us *Your California*!

![Your California.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcxHHEzTMnLRxCw4kzvy8BrkGUjjbhvf9r5Dcp4Ujk48D/Your%20California.png)

## The Prizes

We have 4 SBI memberships on the table.

# <center>* 1st     3 SBI</center>
# <center>* 2nd.  1 SBI</center>

### <center>All entries will receive a 100% upvote from SoCalSteemit!</center>

*if you are not familiar with SBI (Steem Basic Income), it is an upvote for life. If you only have one share, it is a small upvote, but as you accumulate more, the upvote can be substantial. Check out the @steembasicincome account for more information.

We want you to show us Your California. That could be your neighborhood, a hike in the mountains, a trip to the mall or beach, a visit to a museum, a BBQ in your backyard. Whatever it is that represents *Your California*  at the time.

#### <center> Every tuesday at 8pm @socalsteemit is doing a weekly voice and text chat for the members in our [Discord](https://discord.gg/Mg672pk) server! Here we'll be giving a short summary of our previous chat and bring up potential topics for the next upcoming chat. </center>

# <center> Last Nights Visiting Hour</center>
In the last SoCal Visiting Hour we had @mariannewest, @creationofcare, and myself (@derekrichardson) all join in the conversation! It was really great to get to chat with two of my favorite Steemians and we talked about all kinds of stuff! It went really fast and I'm a horrible note taker, but I'll do my best to give you all a recap.

We started out by talking about my current search for a new truck... let's just say it's not going as well as I'd like it to and I'll just leave it at that. lol.    

Then we talked about a few of our recent posts and how @creationofcare and myself both got curated by @ocd!! Curation projects like @ocd and @curie are awesome and really help incentivize quality bloggers to keep posting on Steem even during this bear market.
<center>![ocd.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/socalsteemit/p3EiNPo0-ocd.png)</center>

Talking about the bear market got us talking about how the price of Steem and SBD has been up a bit from the low price that we've seen the last few months. We hope it continues and we hope that it will incentivize some of the people who have become inactive to come back and get active. We joked a bit about how some of these people don't post on Steem because of the low price but instead post on places like Facebook... where you get a whopping $0 every time! lol! I don't get that at all, but I'd really love to see them come back. 

There are so many people that I miss seeing on Steem. Just to name a few - @csusbgeochem1, @beckymeep, @corinneiskorean, @mikesthoughts, @agirlis, @dawg-boy, @eyedreemit, @geniuslife, @inalittlewhile, @madpotters, @nutinbutdatruth... I miss you guys and I hope you all come back to Steem soon. We will be here to give our support if and when you do!

<center>https://steemitimages.com/DQmZE7uhQu8126QUsxGTrYS735YBSQoyfGqWRLd3t443uYr/Socalsteemitbanner2.jpg</center>

After that me and Marianne talked about gardening and how there is so much work to do in the garden this time of year! We talked about battling the weeds and the gophers and Marianne gave me some great tips to help me with that.
<center>![mXkfdToSwHy1F6xC7iNTTfvCRrDG4bHpLQDydL8vnym8nvpBRGLDjCZSRLs8TQjDgRS7Mr9SxRTSzPmYkVEELFKqwuuv4dTKziJQhPQhC.jpg](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/socalsteemit/LqDg4YKt-mXkfdToSwHy1F6xC7iNTTfvCRrDG4bHpLQDydL8vnym8nvpBRGLDjCZSRLs8TQjDgRS7Mr9SxRTSzPmYkVEELFKqwuuv4dTKziJQhPQhC.jpg)
_photo by @mariannewest_</center>

Next we talked a little bit about the @tasteem app. We both think it's a really great app and if you like to eat out you should definitely check it out. Neither myself or Marianne eat out very often so we don't get to use it, but @fitinfunfood has been using it so if you are interested in seeing some Tasteem posts definitely go check out her blog!
<center>![DVAkPJXe6RxZibdTwpvuJ6HsQhyteMctdAgwDAM7gH6fpNSXhfZJeGq5k67PYzRPxw6zWccrnPyUGv.png](https://files.steempeak.com/file/steempeak/socalsteemit/CepzTytn-DVAkPJXe6RxZibdTwpvuJ6HsQhyteMctdAgwDAM7gH6fpNSXhfZJeGq5k67PYzRPxw6zWccrnPyUGv.png)</center>

Then we talked about some of the Steem witnesses. Both the ones we like and the ones we don't really like. And we talked about what has been going on between Steemit Inc. and the Steem Alliance. I don't like drama, so personally I just stay out of things like this and I hope it all gets worked out soon. 

We also talked about onboarding new Steem users and how it's important to have support groups for them so that they don't have such a tough time starting out. I'm sure many of you remember when you first started and put lots of effort into a post and it only made a cent or two. It can be quite discouraging. Add in all the confusing details about keys, dapps, tags, flags, whales, minnows, etc.. and it's easy to see why so many people get frustrated and leave the platform after only a few posts. We of course have SoCal Steemit to help and support our Steemians here in Southern California, but recently I've also been working with the [Steem Terminal](https://discord.gg/X4dce6J) which is a great group that was specifically created to help new Steemians from anywhere!

<center>[![SteemTerminalBanner.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmYppGeSD2VQh5Bdy53rxXu63iYfiLAynHNNb8ikG4cgS2/SteemTerminalBanner.jpg)](https://discord.gg/XZGPGpz)</center>

Lastly Marianne and I chatted a bit about how we don't ever seem to have enough time in the day to be able to get everything we'd like to get done. With all the different projects and initiatives we are working on it can be hard to find the time to ever get to making our own posts! It's not easy, and we really admire hard working people like @jaynie who are involved in so many different projects for Steem. We just wonder... how do they do it!? lol.

And I'm sure there was a few more topics that we chatted about, but that's all I got in the notes. So that's gonna be it for this Visiting Hour post!

<center>**Thank you to @mariannewest and @creationofcare for participating in this weeks discussion. It was lots of fun as always!!**</center>

<center>![Dividerbar.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmaQ6TVWnxv9E2aDY81bBgduztRaBRWFnQQHk5CQMyVqGQ/Dividerbar.jpg)  </center>

# <center> Next Tuesday </center>
In next Tuesdays SoCal Visiting Hour we'd like to talk about having SoCal Steemit members write a "guest post" on the @socalsteemit blog each saturday. The guest post could be about whatever that member is interested in writing about. And we could reward the guest author with SBI. If you're interested in this idea lets chat about it next week and work out the details. I can write a "guest post" template to make it easy if we want. Also to keep it easy the post could be written anytime during the week and then we can schedule it to post on Saturday. Also if anyone has any fun ideas for future meetups I'd love to hear them! And as usual we welcome anything else any members would like to bring up and discuss! So again, it's tuesday at 8pm in the SoCal Steemit [Discord](https://discord.gg/Mg672pk) server. If you are not equipped to voice chat or are a bit intimidated to get on a mic, feel free to come listen to the chat and communicate with the group through the corresponding text channel. We'd love to have everyone come join the conversation!!

SoCal Steemit Visiting Hour - 03/26/19

<center> <img src="https://steemitimages.com/640x0/https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQma9wAZ3Wb41WVu9fVtL46wo9YNYo4infXswq2dmwjC65y/applications%20PHC.png" alt="applications PHC.png" width="640" height="384" /><br/> Thumbnail by @jaynie</center>
<h1><center>Applications are open</center></h1>
Yes, you heard me right! Applications are now <strong>OPEN</strong> for you to join us in this awesome community. Upon winning the <strong>20k delegation contest</strong> by @theycallmedan, #powerhousecreatives have been busy at work, particularly our founder, @jaynie with all the recruiting of new content creators onto the Steem Blockchain. The <strong>20k SP delegation</strong> has been put to good use to support every member in the community and will also be used to support these new members as they enter our community after getting the hang of the in and out of the Steem blockchain.

We are all pretty much back to our daily routine of support and schedule in our own homey server and You've also probably heard the words '#powerhousecreatives' and '@steemitbloggers' buzzing through the Steemitsphere. Ever since the dpoll ended, many have asked us how do they join this community because there isn't a discord link to be found anywhere.

<em>And it's true,</em> there ISNT a discord link for you to directly join this community because we are careful in selecting our members. Reason being, we only want quality, committed, genuine members who are on the Steem Blockchain for the <strong>long-term</strong>. Whether you are mainly on @dsound, @steempress, @dtube, it all doesn't matter as long you are here to contribute back one way or another in the Steem Blockchain.

We're looking for dedicated &amp; determined content creators who will not waiver and 'jump ship' whenever something happens to the blockchain leaving all our support efforts worthless and wasted. Instead, we're looking for content creators who will brace with us during the good times and the bad times on Steem. That is why we sift through and filter applications to make sure that we invite only Steemians who are fitting. Definitely when you've been accepted into our community, there are several rules to follow. These rules are there to maintain the quality of each member and to achieve the vision that our founder, @jaynie has. <em>We will not have gotten this far if it weren't for these higher standards.</em>

Before I post a link to join our Applications post, do check out this video above that I've created for the #powerhousecreatives family and get pumped and excited. If you are committed to the Steem blockchain, then I hope to be seeing you in our community server soon.

Only for the truly passionate and dedicated who can and wants to bring something of value to the Steem blockchain. Remember, this isn't a one-stop support hub, everyone has to get their hands in the mud together as a community and work together to build this blockchain. :) <center><h1>Thank You</h1>

<p>Hi There.....Are you a fan of Art?</p>
<p>Great cause I have been drawing and painting for a long time, and wanted to show you some of my works.&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;I have always been a creative mind. As a young child I used to spend a lot of my free time drawing. Especially drawing nature and faces was what I loved the most. I have followed a lot of classes and learned a lot of new techniques.</p>
<p>Since I am more in to beading nowadays, I don't get to drawing or painting that much. But I do plan to get more into it again.</p>
<p>So let me show you some of the Artworks that I have in ArtSeadbeady shop on Etsy &nbsp;&nbsp;😊&nbsp;</p>
