This is so great :) Steemit really is changing lives. Thank for your sharing your story, @leahlindeman.

Going through this experience has taught me hard work does pay off. It's also reminded me that I need to blog regularly. I can't imagine what the number could have been if I had!

This is definitely very true. Steemit's rewards are cumulative for those of us who are patient and consistent.

Many blessings to you.
