The Fresh Five for Wednesday 3/21/18 - New Steemians to get to know!

Hey everyone, Mike here. Adam is traveling this week, so you have to suffer through a fresh five curated by me today. I am not able to keep up the daily pace that Adam manages, so getting one or two of these out is the best I can manage.

Before we get started.... What a wreck the Introduceyourself tag has become! So many bot comments out there trying to get people's attention, it is crazy! I've let Adam be the man wading through all that lately while I concentrated on the contest/retention side of things, and man things are way worse than they were just a couple of months ago. To all of you new Steemians who find your way to this blog, I apologize for the muck you have cluttering up your introduction posts. It almost makes me not want to post comments... But I gotta let the people we feature know to come look for their highlight..

It's a dilemma.

Anyway. Let's get right into things. I've got five fresh new Steemians for you to check out today and head over to their blogs to show some support!

The Fresh Five for March 21

We start today with @stellarinvestor who isn't exactly "new". Stellar joined Steem all the way back in June, but only just made an introduction post (or any post for that matter) today. He's sprinkled some comments (35 in fact) around the platform, but only today decided to post his own blog. It's a short intro, but between that photo and the interesting thing of an account that has been around so long just getting around to posting has us intrigued. We're looking forward to seeing what Stellar has to offer. I wonder if there is any association with Stellar Lumens? Hmmmm....

Next up, Please welcome @robertconnor. What an amazing story Robert has to share with us. Heartbreakingly his wife and mother to two beautiful little girls was lost to cancer, and now Robert is figuring out the path to be a wonderful dad, as well as a single parent providing for his children. He is working from home, and working to help others make the same transition to an online income. Every upvote will help him accomplish his goals and take care of his girls. Who wouldn't want to help out with that?

Please go and show Robert some support on his intro post Freelance work from home - our story

As Adam likes to say "Our Middle Child today" is Kevin. Kevin goes by the moniker @thedreamflow here on Steem, as that is the name of his artistic collective. Like many, Kevin has been demonetized by Facebook and YouTube and is turning to Steem as an outlet for his creativity. He's bound to fit right in with the @slothicorn artistic group. Can't wait to see what Kevin brings us to check out on his blog.

Head over and visit The Dream Flow is New to Steemit.

Another artist came to our attention next in the form of @willncc. Will did not consider himself an artist until his son told him he was one. This self taught artist has put his work out on various other platforms with limited success, and now he is turning to Steem in hopes of finding a more active audience. Make sure to keep an eye on Will and his art. Another potential Slothicorn in the making here.

Check out Will at What's Crackcin Steemit.

Finally today, meet @peterlange. Peter is a young man with an old soul. Here is the quote from Peter that caught me and made me have no doubt that he needed to be included in the Fresh Five today:

I love art! And all its forms! Art is being, I am completely captivated and taken by the energy that flows through all of us. This creative energy is notably seen through our artists, athletes, crafters, and creators. Now more than ever, do I truly feel that we are simply the beacons and channels of the universe. With the energy we've been given we can do great and magnificent things, however, gruesome and awesome as well.

@stellabelle, this sounds like you! I didn't realize it as I was going through posts, but we've got three Slothicorn candidates today. Gather them up and embrace the artist!

Go and check out Peter and give him a warm welcome at his post a humble introduction.

So that's a wrap for the Fresh Five for 3/21. I didn't realize I had five guys. I guess if I get another one of these in this week I will have to search for five ladies to highlight.

Don't forget that we are running our weekly New Steemian Curation Delegation challenge over on my blog. This is an opportunity for new Steemians who could use a little extra Steem Power to avoid having issues with bandwidth to earn a delegation from me by helping us curate new Steemian introduction Posts. Check out this week's Curation Digest, and then nominate new Steemians for us to feature at the New Steemian Curation Digest and help us find new Steemians that the platform needs to know about!

Take care everyone! We'll do this again in a day or two! And Adam will be back before you know it, and you won't have to put up with me anymore. ;-)
