I actually posted a thought before I knew what I was doing. Trying to figure this out !(got to figure out how to put a picture as avitar). Chugging along with ya. Gathering steem. Making sure my mechanism is operating correctly. I've had this for six months, just didn't know what to say. Distracted by my journey. Well I'm here now so let me introduce myself.
My name is Marilyn I AM FREEDOME. I chose that name because I believe in free thinking with harm to none. I am a daughter, a sister, a mother, an aunt and friend. My nick name is umbizzy. I am an eclectic artist. I create something else out of something. I love all forms of art, as well as crafts. I collect books on the various subjects that interest me. I love animals and nature.
My practice is Buddhism although I grew up Baptist. When my father said I didn't have to go the church anymore it was a relief to me. I do believe in the All the Source. To this day I don't know why he told me that, it never occurred to me to ask.
I want to thank the creator of this platform for giving us all an opportunity to express ourselves.
Till next time PEACE and BLISSINGS! 
Welcome to the Steem World!
I have recently made an orientation video that will help you in your journey here - and will hopefully answer all the questions that took me months to figure out.
