Welcome to Steem @charmmie.

That was a great introduction. You seem to be a very interesting person with an interesting life.

22 cents from 48 votes is not what has been usual in the past. It is getting more and more difficult to get the big votes as more and more people sign up and make it more difficult to get noticed. In an effort to remedy this, I have created a sort of 'classified' listings page for people to promote themselves. Would you like to help get that page over the 'critical mass' stage by consistently advertising on it? That would be appreciated and help everyone in the process. You can find the latest version of the promotion page here.
