We have a blessed opportunity to honor someone we find great appreciation for,
and to put it on the block chain for all time!
This could be a profound game
that amplifies the juicy feelings of gratitude we feel,
while giving energy to the positive side of building community here on Steemit.
I invite you to join in on the "Thank you for Being"'game.
This is my second "Thank You For Being" post. (Find my first one here.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
I dedicate this post to a miraculous being who changes people's lives
because she simply IS.
At only 6, (I include pictures of her here at many ages),
she is finding her way into the hearts of Steemians
and making her presence known through the account dedicated to her as @qiqi-power,
created and managed by her father, @quinneaker.
QiQi loves Steemit as she can feel how excited we all are at the @gardenofeden about the true potential of this platform. To give you an upfront taste of who QiQi is and how she engages Steemit and life as a whole, here are a few of her links:
@qiqi-power enters open mic,
and Steemit's Got Talent,
and has recently participated in the new Steemit Promotion Collaboration Video.
She shares how she learns and grows in a life of freedom without school.
and a lot about sustainable living and creative play.

This one's for you @qiqi-power!!!!
Dearest QiQi, though you are not my biological daughter,
I feel connected with you on our soulful journey that really transcends this physical world.
I love watching you grow, and witnessing the potential for a whole new paradigm of living through you.
I have never known anyone who was born into and is living a life of freedom,
and therefore stepping into their power as you have since you were born.
You are confident, capable, responsible, caring, a natural nurturer,
a profoundly creative designer in all aspects of your existence,
A horse donning a QiQi Creation crafted from Barbie doll clothes.
a dancer, a tree climber, a cliff jumper, lake swimmer, a huge contributor to the @gardenofeden community,
Kissing the potential for new life as we plant our crops.
and and exemplary example of how powerful a child can be. You are more empowered than nearly every adult I have ever known, and a blessing for us all to witness.
OMG!! YOU BLOW MY MIND!!!
It's unfathomable to imagine a world full of children/people as A-L-I-V-E !!!! as you.
Your exuberance for life in every moment is beyond inspiring.
Thank god for you, there is tangible hope!
I'm excited to grow with you and tune into your example,
remember the ways of an open heart and open mind,
and the potential for creating a juicy, unencumbered life of my own choosing as you do with yours.
I am grateful you are my playmate, my friend and my inspiration.
I am grateful that you love me unconditionally,
and bless me in being your Shellie Momma.
Thanks for helping me remember how to be a kid again,
and to slow down to appreciate the simple things that really matter.
I am grateful for EVERything about you, for sharing eternity with you,
and for the possibility of deepening our connection in this lifetime.
LOVE RUNS DEEP!
Here are a few more of my favorite moments captured together:
Witnessing the miracle of your sister, Noki, entering the planet.
Taking your place in the spotlight.
Showing your trust and faith in your daddy, as well as your love and fearlessness of experience.
Embracing the beauty...
... of true connection.
Jumping into life full-on...
...with passion, fashion, and grace.
Always the life of the party wherever you go.
One of the sparkiest moments of my day.
Engaging your creative and sustainable perspective.

Modeling you own handmade necklace design from an old leather shoe lace
and an unusual chunk of drift wood straight from nature.
Sustainably packaging chocolate soup (hand-made mud soup)
for a community party of your own invitation.
I cannot even begin to fathom the impact you will have on this world!
THANK YOU FOR BEING, @QIQI-POWER!!!
YOU ARE LOVED!!!
