Hi, Kate here
So, my dad used to always tell me to pick one thing and do it well. He also said to always question authority. Guess what. Only one stuck. “Question authority” just has such a nice ring to it, dontcha think? !
Needless to say, I am a bit of a Jane of all trades, renaissance woman, and to some I guess it looks like unmotivated slacker.
My family and I live in the Ozarks. And yes, it’s by choice. My husband and I met in Sitka, Alaska where I lived in a shanty in the woods, a boat, and a van after dropping out of dorm life. We drove to Mexico, got pregnant and went back to Alaska. Post partum depression combined with the 100” of rain got us moving. After a 2 month stint in Ecuador, we ended up visiting friends from Alaska who had moved back to the Ozarks and it all lined up. Here we are. 
We built an off-grid strawbale home near the Buffalo National River and homeschooled our kiddos.
I had my third and final baby, unassisted, there. We made money taking my jewelry
to art shows around the country. 
My kids wanted to go to high school in town so we are now renovating an actual condemned house. I still go out to our cabin at least once a week.

Hi, welcome to steemit, I'm not a bot. ;-}. To many of those around as of late. Is the mini your horse? or a friends. Lots of place to see and find on steemit, take a look through some of the tags, I would avoid the hot and trending tabs, they are kind of false advertising. the new is good, you may have to scroll a long way to find stuff but sometimes you can find cool little gems in there.
Yeah. I’ve been finding some gems amid the bots. The mini is not mine. It was at a retreat I was at. A neighbors that had gotten loose.
They are nice little horses, though some can be mean, my wife has a friend that has mini's. The number in (37) that is your reputation level, it used to mean something, not so much any more with the advent of the vote bots. It is supposed to sort of mean that you have been here on steemit and are a rusted and respected member of the community. Now you can buy reputation though purchasing votes, votes are the only thing that make your reputation go up or down.
Thanks!
