The Old Dog Presents: Our 8th SteemTradeCards for 2018! The Inspirator @sufermarly!
How awesome is this Steemer? I could tell you that she's a 10 but why not read the introduction and biographical notes written by @wofje and then come to the same conclusion yourself!
Just a Reminder:
Before having a look at this free spirited giver please note that you can see all of our 2017 cards by clicking here and all of the 2018 cards, films and project information can be seen on our @steemtradecards site!
This Steemer is Really Creating Waves! (as told by @wolfje)
People like @surfermarly are still too rare on our platform. This lady is a doer, she's someone who grabs reality by the head and says "sorry, that's not what I want it to be" and she changes it for the good. The moment I approached her, her response was, why me, what did I do to deserve a card. Especially when I told her that the previous people I did were @lukestokes, @jesta, @heimindanger & @luzcypher ... all pioneers of the platform. To me it was obvious, those guys are working towards the benefit of the platform @surfermarly shows you how you can grab your own life in your hands and make something out of it. She sees a wrong in the world and will do everything in her power to make it a right.
On the one hand it's much easier to create a card about a person like this as the material is more focused, on the other hand it's much tougher as you want to use every quote that you read in her posts. @surfermarly is an inspirator, a truly positive person who takes set-backs as a next step in the ladder of life and you can read this in every post she writes. There is so much dedication and passion in her material and as she herself confessed in one of her earliest posts "Steemit reanimated her writing passion".
As her name already gives away, this lady is a passionate surfer. She left a busy lifestyle in Germany several years back to be able to do what she likes doing most. The ocean has become her home and she is now using it to help children, or in her own words: "'Dreams of the Ocean' @dreamsoftheocean is steemit's first charity project dedicated to support kids in need through watersports activities." Here is the LINK to her impressive last post about this charity.
I hope you've been inspired by this lady as much as I have.

If you want to know what the difference is between a dreamer and a realist, have a look at @surfermarly. This woman threw down her purse, took off her suit and booked a one way ticket to paradise and you can do this as well. Do you want to know how?
Marly’s posts are full of energy, positiveness and inspiration. In one of her posts she tells us “You don't always end up where you thought you were going, but you will always end up where you are meant to be.” So get out there!
Stats:
Posts: When she’s not hitting the waves she engages with 17 dudes a day!
Followers: Besides the children she’s helping, she gains 13 new stalkers a day here on the steemit platform.
Random Fact: Started her own charity @dreamsoftheocean to help children in need!

I hope that you enjoyed this presentation of SteemTradeCards featuring the amazing @surfermarly
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
To be honest, I’m speechless right now - and everybody who knows me well will confirm that this doesn’t happen very often.
I’m amazed by the words you choose to describe my doings - and me. This is surely one of the nicest things I’ve ever read about myself. Thank you so much for having me!!! I’m stoked and proud and happy :-)
Big hugs, Marly -
Congratz!
Thank youuuu 😌
It's great to have had a chance to feature you and @wolfje did a great job with the description.
From the comments it's obvious that you're loved and appreciated by many on the platform.
Please pm either myself, @wolfje or @airmatti with a mailing address (with me Steemit.chat is best) and we'll send you 10 of your printed cards as a keepsake! That's all included with being featured here.
Congratulations and I wish you continued fun and success!
I am so proud of this card, probably my best work yet. I loved doing luzcypher, but @surfermarly is a true inspiration and motivator. All that positiveness has also given me some ideas for my time when I’m unemployed.
I’m really amazed and deeply moved by the words you found for me here. Thank you so much for your kindness @wolfje and please have an amazing vacation!!
Big hugs, Marly -
I’m glad you like it! But that’s all you, keep up the great work! I love reading your posts, they’re such an inspiration.
Thank you so much!
I'm just checking your posts from Maldives... looks like you did the absolutely right thing :-)
Enjoy your time!!!
Great job. Thanks! So will you learn to surf?
LOL, no! I want to try and stand on my own feet and attempt a few projects helping older people with IT solutions in my village and maybe also introduce crypto's in this village, I just have to figure out for myself how and where I want to start this.
That sounds very interesting!
Queste carte ormai sono un cult!
We hope to see it continue to grow and to include other languages as well. We are about to add another guest writer from Africa with the idea being to spread the Steem economy.
@surfermarly seems like a really great person. Well I hadn't known all these about her before now. Good thing the Steem Trade Cards is here she just gained one new stalker :P
Its totally motivational stuff
Yes, she's worth following!
A fine choice for a card!!!
Did yours end up arriving?
Oh, Didny you get my chart message??
Yes they did indeed, last week. I was sure I had 'chatted' you. Something just have happened to it. Thank you!
Another cool person I met at Steemfest. Her project for poor kids is great. She deserves all her success.
Aaaaaw thank you so much for your kindness @steevc!! :-)
You've had a chance to meet a lot of Steemit "legends"!
I have and it's been a lot of fun. We are all pioneers in this adventure
Awesome card with great details looks amazing :)
Thanks for your continued support!
Yup, I am really impressed by her skills and vision. She is very strong and has will-power to change negative vibrations to positive ones. I have read her various posts and really been touched by them. She motivates by her posts and I have many times called the 'Iron lady' here on steemit.
Glad that you've taken notice of her!
Well deserved. Going by the info given about this awesome Steemian. Great job from the Old Dog. Always spotting the right people to award the card.
Thanks. We're working on this project as a team.
yes you are right, steemit is a wave of peace spreading fast through out the world.
no one could stop it!
