Anonymous No More😎
Publicly,
I've kept my name and my face off of Steemit since joining. It's been kind fun to just be a Steemit handle for this long. There is something kinda freeing about being able to write, speak and meet people through JUST my words/voice.
It kinda reminded me of writing letters back and forth to pen pals... being able to be yourself without having to worry about putting on makeup or doing your hair - you know - kinda sticking with the heart-to-heart.
Had I not brought Spunkee Monkee to light, I might have stayed in the shadows ;) It was getting pretty cozy there!
But - if you're trying to bring a project that involves families to a little higher level, then anonymity isn't really a luxury that you can afford anymore. Moms and dads like to know who is the person BEHIND the site, blog, project.
And so... it's time 😁
I don't imagine that too many people will be too curious - BUT - if you are... Here I am 😜 (also.... I am leaning into another semi-anonymous Steemian in the picture... but he's cut out since I don't have his permission to post him! Can anyone guess who???) hehe
I'll be trying to do vlog updates on what's happening with Spunkee Monkee from now on. Will try to keep them under 5 minutes when I post - so you don't get too sick of seeing my silly face. LOLOL
I'll try to upload to dtube AND youtube from now on - but sometimes dtube gives me such a hard time and I end up wasting hours trying to get it uploaded! Hopefully that's fixed now? I'll try soon!

OMG!! Hi Leah!
You are such a normie! 😂🤣😂 And that is a HUGE compliment. I am always secretly convinced that half the people I “meet” online are cray cray.

OMG, you are as beautiful as you sound!!! Gorgeous lady!!! 😍 And what's more, you have one of the most upbeat, beautiful hearts on the platform!!! 💖💖💖
thank you my sweet friend! its been fun being anonymous for this long - but... who knew a reveal could be this fun too! hehehehe
hopefully this will be the beginning of me posting my real posts again :)
I agree with you @thekittygirl.
@dreemsteem looks like such a beautiful & gorgeous female and she sounds with a so upbeat, inviting and beautiful heart, that now I'm almost tempted to reveal the anonymous me to show to everyone here her gorgeous male counterpart in the entire steem blockchain. LoL
hahahahahaha do it!!!!!!!!!! LOLOLOL
thank you for the compliment :) and thanks for the visit!!! :)
My pleasure babe. You are indeed a radiant girl. }:)
As for do it... I suspect it still is gonna take a couple of years more!! ;)
hehehehe well i'll wait with anticipation for those couple of years! :) and thank you for the compliment :)
This post is a great example of #whysteem? As in why steem is great? Anonymity, its not like that on Facebook, instagram or even youtube, cause you always have to link Google, and so someone always knows... Not necessarily here.
I did a post today about, #whysteem, and your post made me think of that.
P.s. i agree dtube can be really finicky
Posted using Partiko Android
yeah i was able to stay anonymous for over 2 years! and it wasn't hard to do at all :)
i did share with a handful of people - but only on my terms.
I agree about dtube - hopefully they'll get the kinks worked out soon! nice to meet you! :)
Hey, nice to see the person behind the handle! So, we should expect you to glam up from now on?
i don't really like glam. but i try to at least throw on a little lipstick now and then LOLOL
but be ready for "just woke up. no makeup. hair is crazy" dreemie too ;)
This looks like me the other day.... Except the blue was all on my tongue lolol
I had a blue.raspberry slushie and it gave me a massive brain freeze
And chest freeze

Stay awesome, do you.

thank you so much you two :)
I'm learning to take my time and enjoy the ride. no need to rush or stress. I just want to have fun with this and see what happens organically and naturally!
thank you for being my cheerleader!!!
And she's finally out 😁😁😁
Wow, ma'am you are quite a beauty to behold. Your voice had always just been enough, listening to you on discord and hearing the smile and kindness in your voice.
Now that we have a face to attach to all that, the picture is finally complete.
🌹
thank you so much @klynic! I love that you got to appreciate my heart by just listening to me in shows! hehehe I appreciate you coming to visit me :)
Good to meet you Leah 😃
Looking forward to hearing about the next stage of Spunkee Monkees.
Thank you @Pennsif! I am happy to have fun with this and not take myself SOOOOO super seriously ;)
that helps with enjoying the process i think! hehe
Finally, the face that launched a thousand monkees....wait no that sounds wrong.
The face behind the spunkee......oh god no that’s worse.
Well I hope your project continues to grow, and explode all over the internet now your true identity has been revealed!
Posted using Partiko iOS
i died laughing at this comment! you're a nut hahahahaha I hope it grows too - but i'm happy to watch it grow slowwwwwwwwwwwwwly :)
i only want just enough to baby step forwards - or else - i'll freak out hahahahaha
So fun to see your face! I bet there was a bit of an adrenaline rush when you hit post!
hahahaha yea now next time we see one another we don't have to hide behind menus!
i actually didn't think many people would be paying attention since i've been gone for so long hahaha it was a pleasant surprise to have so many nice comments :)
hugs to you friend!!!
So many people care about you here and I think they love seeing the face behind the personality!
Hugs back to you!!
You are lovely, my sweet friend @deemsteem!!! And a beautiful heart to match! What a great gift that you revealed yourself here! I remember the very first time we met here, and I told you that I wanted to send you a token of friendship, and I recall sensing how very protective you are of your identification. That was a year ago! Have a fantastic day today, my friend. Take care.
yes!!!! I remember that well myself! hehehehe but the time has come to give Spunkee Monkee a chance! :)
thank you for visiting - its been too long since i have been away. (i have been posting actifits to keep me a bit engaged... but i actually forgot some of the code to write my regular posts hehehehe)
I better get back on that horse, i think!
thank you for visiting, my friend!!! sending love and hugs to you!
Yay!! You will rock the world of Vlogs and you are already rocking the world of everyone who gets to know you!!!
❤️
P.S. Let's talk road trip on Tuesday - You would meet @snook and so many of the fam 🤗
i don't know about rocking it... hahahaha i'm just having fun and entertaining myself LOLOLOLOL
and yessssssssssss road trip!!!! i hope it works!!!!! :)
anyone who knew you for like five minutes knew the smart and talented part .. now we get to see the inside and out beauty .. nice going lady.
thanks my dear friend! i still giggle that you noticed me from the very beginning and then we officially met a year later!!!! and the rest - is history! hehehehe
think this will be a fun ride???? i sure hope so!
Hmmm @dreemsteem, I didn't think you'd give in, it's fun to remain behind the scenes, but I agree with your logic, dealing with the parents, all the moms and dads out there, it's way better that they see who is teaching their children, and with that FACE? That has to be the most trustworthy face on the face of the Earth! And one of the most beautiful! Coupled with the extreme heart you have just rocks!
Glad you came out!
hehehehe yep - gotta be safe with the kiddles :)
and thank you!!!! Your vote of confidence means so much to me!! It was fun being anonymous - but so far - its fun being - non-anonymous hahahahaha
I was just kinda strolling and i saw this, i just had to stop by!!!!
You are so so beautiful, Dreemie!!!! And i am one of those glad to see your beautiful face and cute smiles here.....😘💝

love you!!!!
😊🤗 I am doing great! Yeah yeah, it has been....Both you and spunkee monkee has been super awesome, yeah?
I will sure love for that to happen, but so many things holding me back from going to Cali and being your assistant. It would have been so much fun!!!
Love you too....😘
Posted using Partiko Android
Finally a face to that dreamy voice that I always hear in discord!!!
Glad that I dropped by today and I am so proud of you!!
Will look forward to seeing this project might make me go back to Steem more often!
hehehehe thanks mav!!!! oh my goodness - how time flies! how have you been??? i think we all have needed a little break for a bit - just to recharge hehehe
i hope you're doing well and thriving!!! anything exciting going on with you?? :)
Well there you are! Beautiful post, I would expect nothing less. I am so excited for your Spunkee Monkee project. I hope that it takes off for the moon!
I might mention you look very much like one of my nieces, it is uncanny. She is a school teacher up here in Pennsylvania, but it isn't you though!
maybe i AM her! hahahaha you know i used to live in Pennsylvania! hehehe
and i love the monkee bitmoji hehehehe
and thank you for always being so supportive and positive when it concerns me and the Monkees :)
sending you lots of love!
Sounds interesting. I'm tuning in to watch your journey with children.
thanks so much @willowwisp! :) I appreciate your interest :)
I love the video!!!
Very nice to see you.
Every bit as lovely as I imagined.
well you have a good imagination for someone who has seen me with his own eyes! LOLOL
happy you like the video - your voice is in the next one hehe
The day has arrived!!! Yay!!!
You are so beautiful!
I thought you are old women due to the wide knowledge you have. But you are so young! With amazing great brain. And big heart!
Love you already. And love love love
So much energy and vigour in you.
The other one is @bluefinstudios?
Hahahhahaha!!! Well.i am old 😂😂😂😂😂
Yes! Blue was here that week!!! You can hear his voice in the video for May 5 (I posted yesterday)
I have a great picture of us together.... But he is still a little bit anonymous hehhee
I've been so busy and so quiet with working behind the scenes for Monkee...but now is the time to slowly come.back and share what I'm doing! I'm.just trying to have lots of fun and enjoy the process!
😍 Miss you!!!! Tell Jayden that Monkee Capt'n Dreemie says hiiiiiiii!!!!
Welcome beautiful!
I too at first preferred not to show my face because I want readers to connect with me via my content first instead of my face.
Posted using Partiko Android
Yes ... It's so important to connect with hearts and minds, don't you think??? I do!
But now the time has come to connect the giant, ridiculous, never-ending smile with the voice and writing!!! Hehhee
Now people can see I really laugh a lot 😂😂😂☺️
Hahaha... I am sure you will have even more fans now!
Posted using Partiko Android
Lolol I don't know..we will see! You never know what makes people grow on the chain or even in real life...
But I'm trying not to focus on that.. (trying really hard cuz everyone wants their project to grow, right??)
but... I just want to have fun with my kids and my monkees and enjoy the process hehehee
(Which is very very hard for me.... Cuz I'm a planner!!! Lol)
Sometimes you just need to let your hair down.
I totally understand what you mean about wanting to plan on everything.
Fortunately I am not a very good follow up person on plans sometimes haha.

Oh my goodness I've been thinking about you! This last season of my life has been so strange with a quietness (from me) that has hung around my neck lol
How are you!!!! How's miss @purplemaze!?!
I feel like lately there's been a little reunion of steemit souls that have found their way around a bend and back and it's been such a breath of fresh air hehehe
I will DM you tonight and check on you 😍
