In today's video,

the radiant @mariannewest came to visit me with her awesome hubby!

I still remember the first day that we met in San Diego. It was like two old friends meeting, talking, laughing, and encouraging one another with Steem and life tips! :) Ever since, I've been addicted to her beautiful shining face, her easy laughter, her amazing hugs and her inviting way of diving into life !

Kindred spirits??? YES.

As the founder of the @freewritehouse community, she led by example how to be a successful community leader. There are a handful of people on the blockchain that I would call a mentor - and she is definitely one of them. IF YOU WANT TO THRIVE, SURROUND YOURSELF WITH PEOPLE WHO POUR INTO YOU! (and then... be looking for someone to pour into also!) She's generous with her time and love, always ready to support and cheerlead, and willing to sacrifice for friends. Im already looking forward to our next visit.

This video is literally 1 minute long and just a peek into seeing @mariannewest's shining face!! For tomorrow's video - I'll sit down and talk with her for a few more minutes before she leaves! (time flies way too fast!)
