Firstly I just wanted to say thank you guys! It's been such an awesome year (almost year and a half) here on Steemit and without all of the love and support from all of you I'd never have lasted past the first post!
Each and every comment means so much to me and I get so inspired hearing from you everyday. Let's just say I'm overwhelmed!
I'm looking forward to this new year of 2018 to continue sharing and interacting with you all. Oh, and please keep giving me your feedback and thoughts because I love to know any way things can be improved on and I just love sharing things I know you'll enjoy as much as I enjoy sharing them.
Thanks again Steemians and Steem on!
And, by the way, to all the minnows out there, my intro post did a huge $0.21. The key to success on Steemit is to be consistent and persistent.
Also, a huge shoutout to @rigaronib for designing my logo!
Congratulations my dear! I wish for you and your family best wishes in this new year.
Thank you so much @creativewoman, a fantastic new year to you and yours
Inspiring and congratulations!
You just made your 7001 follower
That is so awesome to hear @jerseynash, thanks so much
Great work, you look so beautiful, have a nice day!
Thanks so much @knightwarrior
50K!!!! AWESOMES!!!
I am just about to touch 25K and am feeling quite chuffed so you must be feeling amazing!
It's somewhat hard to believe. The past several weeks have been surreal and with the uptick in the price of steem, more surreal. I'm loving it, actually. And, I am super stoked to be on this crazy train with you @meesterboom. We've been on it together for a while now, we have war stories in common.
Oh, please send my regards to that old fart uncle of yours.
Oh don't waken the Uncle!! ;O)
We have been on it for a fair old length of time! It is amazing how so much has changed and yet so much hasn't at the same time!
You my dear are the text book example for any newbies who want to do well and do steemit RIGHT!. I'm always so impressed by your work ethic, attention to detail and passion that goes into the time you spend on steemit.
You deserve every bit of success for all your hard work, and investment on this platform- go Gringa GO!
So incredibly sweet. It's awesome that you've been able to notice my, as you call it, work ethic. I'm a very seldom on the 'trending' page, but I am consistent and persistent. I sometimes think of myself as the turtle in the tale of 'turtle and the rabbit.'
I am humbled by your kind words @dayleeo, thanks so much!!
that is ALWAYS the way, and the fact that you saw it as a "long game" shows a lot of maturity and confidence in your work- I'm cheering you on because I used to run a food blog and I know it's HARD work to share creative food ideas AND make them visually appealing, plus you give every one who visits your blog personal attention and time- win win !

Oh, I really appreciate it @yummyrum!
you looks so beautiful, have a nice day!
Thanks for sharing!! Happy New Years to you! Hope your year is filled with lots of exciting experiences with friends(both new and old) and family! Congrats on all your success! Success stories like yours help encourage minnows to be consistent as they grow into dolphins, and eventually WHALES! The potential for success built around a quality-driven community is astounding, esp when surrounded by such positivity!
Dat logo doe....
So STEEMY
Thanks @avesa
Congratulations, @gringalicious! You have been consistent and persistent, for sure! I wonder how many different things have you cooked and shown us all? It's been fun to see you expand your photography beyond your wonderful food, too. Here's to a great 2018 with loads more Steemit success!
Thanks so much for the continued support @haphazard. You've been supporting me for a long time now.
I have a lot of travel ahead in 2018. Only two trips booked so far, Southern California at the end of this month and a visit to Chile in April. But, I have some others on the drawing board for in between, stay tuned.
IT's funny how time goes so fast here on Steemit. It seems even faster than regular Internet time, lol. It's nice to have some friends that have been here from so early on. Happy travels in 2018!
Huge Congrats!!! I am super happy to be part of that number
7,000
Oh, thank you @fullofhope!
That's awesome!! Might be a while before I get there lol! But congratulations for you my beautiful, talented, lovely sister!! 😍😍😘😍😘😘😘
Oh, that's just the sweetest thing ever @alovelymess. I love you sis! (and you'll get there before you know it!)
wow , a very good success indeed...this shows that great contents whould be rewarded by our steemit community...upped and keep up the good work my dear Gringalicious yummy yummy Lady.
Thanks so much for the kind words @charles1, I appreciate it
Fantastic accomplishment. Since August of 2016, wow!
Thanks for all the support @noboxes !
A very well written post!
thanks
Happy to be one of your followers!
More power to you @gringalicious! <3
More recipes to come, and waiting for you to visit the Philippines soon! :)
Philippines, maybe some day soon, perhaps I can target that for 2019?
Thanks for the upvote and comment @yukimaru
LOL my intro post made a whopping. .05 cents , I just got on busy.org bout 5 minutes ago and I like a lot better than steem.com
I Appreciate all the hard work you’ve done and that it is all your original content I love that
Thanks @pokerman!
I like how you shared your progress from just $0.21 on your intro post. It encourages us who are just earning pennies from our posts.
Did you put in lots of personal cash to buy Steem to increase your Steem Power? Or everything is just from your earned free Steems here inside Steemit?
In the begining, I did not put a single $ into buying steem. Of course, I spent a lot of money on food, camera equipment, computers, etc. However, as time has gone by, I have invested more $ into steem, but the majority of what I hold is from the rewards of my posts. I've never powered down.
Great question
Initially, you have invested more in the content creation...thanks for sharing.
I am thinking of ways of how to grow my account then to spend more time with Steemit.
I really would love to get more involved with Steemit, it is just that I have a 9 to 5 job right now to keep up with the family's expenses before I can spend my time with Steemit.
I am hoping that one day I can grow my account too...
Thats awesome. Congrats!!!!
Thanks @tamsguitar!
Only the best for you. I look forward to more post from you. :-)
Thanks so much @myroute86
I just love your posts @gringalicious ....I find them very interesting....you really does great job....I hope 2018 will bring a lot more happiness and success for you and your family.
Thanks so much for your support @universalpro

Of course, you need readers and interaction, and you can thank your followers for this to happen. No comments are so horrible, it looks like no one reads you. I know because I am in that corner now :-) BUT! YOU kept on going, YOU made YOU visible so be proud of your self, and happy, celebrate that you could do it. Congratulations and a very fruitful year to you, that your wishes may come through.
Feel like playing a contest? https://busy.org/untalented/@janine-ariane/3ahpw4-new-contest-pink-rabbit-fridays-week-1-till-saturday-6-th-ofjanuar#comments
Thanks @janine-ariane!
Congrats on those milestones. Your account is inspiring and fun to read. You do this right @gringalicious and I enjoy seeing your posts. I tried a travel post and they are not as easy as they look lol. I will get better in time I suppose.

I wish you the best of luck @bxt! Keep going and you'll get there.
Congratulations, that's a huge number! :)
That's so true. I try to give that message to people I resteem/upvote with my service @welcoming (Information), but unfortunately there are still a few who just come and think they can take away free tons of money.
But it's probably better if those leave anyways ;)
Thanks for your great reply @theaustrianguy!
congrats and happy new year @gringalicious!
And to you too @liberty-minded! Thanks for your support !
Wow you have to many followers . Amazing. Happy new year 2018

Your Are Blessed to Have a Gift for Quality Content, Great Networking, and Commitment to Consistency. To be a Steemer since August 2016 is remarkable in of in itself and the fact you are still here is just awesome!! Shoutout and proprs to @Uglysweater for also having an impressive showing here on Steemit.com

thanks @adi.pisces
Thanks again..😊😊😊
Damn! $0.21 is pretty demotivating. Goes on to show that persistence without giving up can do wonders and you did it. Congratulations and wish you hit many more milestones! :D
Thanks so much @wanderonwheels. I'll never forget our times at steemfest2
Those were some of the best times of 2017 and I still cherish them! I can't wait for the next one :D
thats so awesome! you definitely earned it:) your content is really high quality ! i'm working my way up also and its super exciting! hard work, consistency and passion pays off .
You're exactly right @stevenalexander, " hard work, consistency and passion pays off ."
'7000 Folowers?' Are you giving away free food or something? lol That and the 50k SP is unbelievable sitting where I am (305 followers, and 121 SP), but I'm sure it's well deserved. Congratulations I guess I'll keep Steeming along.
Keep steeming @rip-youtube, keep steeming and you'll end up in the same place as me. Amazing times we are living in. Take advantage of it!
Wow! Congratulations @gringalicious! It is nice to see post like yours that keep motivating us minnows.. have a great one!
Thanks so much for the great commenting @davinsh
