STEEMIT FRUITS AND VEGGIES MONDAY CHALLENGE 🍒 🍌🍑🌿🍍🍓🍇{BIG ANNOUNCEMENT!}

🌈Welcome to Fruits and Veggies Monday, the contest where rain or shine we are still guaranteed a rainbow of beautiful fruits and veggies!🌈

Happy Monday dearest friends! A very special Happy Thanksgiving to @lenasveganliving and our other Canadian members, as well! We are well and truly entering into the holiday season now, so we can’t wait to see all of the traditional or non-traditional plant-based dishes that will feature brightly on your seasonal tables. The hustle and bustle is sure to hit in no time, so if you’re anything like me then I know you want to keep up with those healthy meals to keep feeling strong and well throughout the end of year madness!

Speaking of things getting a bit crazy, I am a bit torn with the big announcement I have for you all today. Though we love you all so much, both Lena and I have some other projects coming up that will require a good bit of our time and attention. Because of that, I am stepping down as weekly host, but Lena will do her utmost to keep the beloved tag going in a scaled down form. She is having surgery on her second hand coming up on November 6th, so make sure to send out the fruits and veggies love during that time to help her recover quickly!

The good news is you can still use the #fruitsandveggiesmonday tag to share your yummy food on Mondays. Lena will continue to upvote, resteem, and leave those adorable wonkies with awards for your valid entries. The top three awards will also still be in place with the appropriate SBI shares being awarded for those entries. We will no longer have a weekly roundup post on Wednesdays, but our hope is you will continue to support each other and join in the fun. I will pop in on the @vegansofsteemit page once a month to share some of the best posts of the month, as well as put out a reminder with the contest rules to make sure we do our best to keep the tradition alive and well. If you all don’t mind copying and sharing the rules when you do your weekly posts, that would be awesome to help us out and keep others interested in joining!

The decision for me to take a step back from not just the competition, but Steemit as a whole for a short while was quite agonizing to make as I am so fond of spending time with you all. The past two years I have been so happy to have built a family that stretches all across the world! I am trying to figure out a way to be able to manage my time where I can still pop in to say hi, while also being able to accomplish the goals I am setting offline. I’m lucky enough to have finally figured out how to use @steempress, as well, so I will try to get a few posts up here and there to check in and share my latest farmers market goodies. This is definitely not goodbye, but I felt I owed all of my friends an explanation on why you might not see me around as much.

We will see what the future brings, but hopefully there are plenty of beautiful fruits and veggies left to share! This contest would not have continued on for over two years without each and every one of you. Thank you all for being such an amazing part of this experience!
