RE: "Six of the Best" MAP11 Minnow Contest [Vote Now - Win Upvotes]

in #minnowsupport7 years ago (edited)

Hello all! It is a real honor to be here, and thank you to MAP for giving all of us the chance to dance in the spotlight. And what a lineup for this round!

  • I was very excited to see @wholesomeroots and her natural approaches, foraging/homesteading isn't the largest tag on Steemit and it's always nice to find another user.
  • @pixelfan does some great stories through the medium of photography! And I will definitely be sticking around to see the results of your Salt Printing.
  • I am very interested in the Good News Channel Project from @stoodkev, I will definitely be checking out more of your articles.
  • @heart-to-heart has been popping up interestingly in my discord feed lately. I find it fate that we are connected here and will give some real views to your fantastic adventures.
  • @nerd-minion is yet another homesteader! I love it! I look forward to more of your metal detecting adventures ;) I live near a beach and a metal detector is one of the long term items on my wish list.

A Little About Myself
I am an artist from the original google blogger style, I wish I could claim original myspace at this point, but no, I never made it on (I'm talking about the myspace where you could go in and html template your own page, really old myspace). By the time I found Steemit I had almost despaired actually being able to make a living on my art, be it word or photo. Steemit was like a breath of fresh air. Finally, after almost a decade of searching and signing up with various other websites, and having those websites go down, or get sold...The blockchain is the way to go. All of your hard work is forever saved. And that means a lot to me after years of starting over.

To get a deeper idea of what Steemit means to me you can check out my article What Steemit is to Me.

After nearly a year (it's almost my steemversary!!!!!) of figuring out what to do on steemit I have finally settled down into a happy little routine. I finally get to post my photography every day. Check out Stop and Smell The Roses for an example.

I also am very interested in natural foraging and homesteading and I firmly believe that this is the answer for the world. We have gotten so stuck on going to the grocery store that the general populace doesn't even know how to look for FREE FOOD anymore. We need to share and learn as much as we can about this art before it dies with the last generation. There is no reason to go hungry if food is available. My Urban Foraging Handbook comes out every Thursday and covers plants that you can find in and around the city.

Of course, I, being a human being on this planet, have various other interests, same as you all. I enjoy science and the Meteor Shower this past weekend was really great. I also run a Kindness Challenge which is currently on hiatus until I can get the templating and time schedule fixed for a more permanent contest.

So now that I've talked your ears off, I will stop. Although I must warn you that I will do the same in person. If any of you want to talk we can meet in the MAP channel or you are more than welcome to pm me: jennswall on DiscordApp and on SteemChat. I look forward to seeing you all around the blockchain and STEEM ON!

Great Summary ! (-:

Thanks! Sometimes I have so much to say that I don't know where to start and sometimes I feel that a picture should do all my talking. LOL, I usually agonize over it until I find a happy medium.

It's a good balance to ponder.
