Allow Myself to Introduce... Myself

in introduceyourself •  8 years ago  (edited)

Hello Steemit world! My name is Sara and I'm a professional Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwich maker, Mormon, Netflix binger, wife to a finance man and recovering world traveler. 19442027_10108148711393941_2831025917126474222_o.jpg

I'm a novice when it comes to cryptocurrency and blockchain but I'm learning. My husband told me about Steemit and I loved the idea of it because it's a decentralized application and it's about learning and sharing information. I promise if I saw one more "Your lucky name is: Birth Month and Password to your bank account" meme I would seriously cry. There is a serious issue with information security and I'm happy to be part of this project that seems to understand that.

I'm a mom to two beautiful girls, 2.5 and 1 years old. My husband and I met at church after we both graduated college and then were married the following year. He works in the finance world which is how I came to first hear about cryptocurrency and decentralized apps. I graduated college with an Exercise Science degree and worked in the corporate health field before our first daughter was born.

I sometimes miss the professional world when I'm explaining to my crying toddler why she shouldn't run through the house with a towel over her head or stopping her for the fifth time from drinking lemon juice (this is after I let her try it once to see mommy wasn't lying when she said it was nasty). At other times though, it sure is nice to make the memories of my little E.T. impersonators and have the hilarious recollection of all the quirky things they do that make me realize I'm a little weird myself.

I'm here to learn and network! For 20+ years of my life I was in school, always learning something; I miss growing in knowledge.

What tips do you have for a new Steemit member? Comment so I can follow you and grow my feed--I'm looking forward to a feed full of things I'm actually interested in, not just pictures of rotary phones telling you to "Like if you know what this is, Share if you had one in your house growing up."

Thanks Kay! I think the authenticity is what drew me to Steemit most. People posting what they want and the value being determined by the readers.

It's really true. Amazing!

Nice to have you on board, Sara! Lovely family! Follow me at https://steemit.com/@bitgeek

Thanks @bitgeek I just looked at your posts and I see your a digital currency enthusiast. Excellent. I need help in understanding it more, I'll definitely follow you! Keep up the good work!

How does one become a professional peanut butter and jelly maker???
Just Kidding but, I'm definitely going to follow you and look forward to hearing more about you!

I'll tell ya, it takes a lot of training and practice. It has to be the perfect PB:J ratio with no crust and cut perfectly down the middle or the judging toddler will make it known how badly you messed up.

I see you're in the fitness world, I'm definitely following you!

Wow i had no idea it could be so in depth, but im glad to hear that:)

But seriously we've all seen a dinglehopper. I mean did you just grow feet yesterday? Geeze ...

Welcome to Steemit! Yeah we have cryptocurrency. We also have photography, gardening, daily life, cooking, vacationing, politics, economics, fashion, memes, a little of everything!

The best thing to do is be you! Post what you love and post often (4x a day is a guideline). Read what you like (or you'd like to learn) upvote and leave valuable comments. Follow people who post things that interest you, and many will follow you back.

Most of all ... Just keep Steemin!

Thanks @timeshiftarts I'm not a hater of all memes, some are hilarious but I do love that steemit is a place to learn about a broad spectrum of things from an even broader sprectrum of people!

Hahaha love PB&J! Especially with banana slices in it. So welcome to the steemit party! I'm new too. Loving it sofar. Bought some bitcoin, litecoin, ether and just got some ripple today. Learning fast but much to learn.
So I gotta networking teamwork pitch so here goes, I was wondering if you would be interested in teaming up with me and others? Aside from our normal random upvoting and curating, we’re looking to particularly team up with some like minded steemians.

We can work as a team to help and build each other up simply using the tag #minnowtowhale when we post stories. We can do a search at any point and find each other quickly that way. If we build up a decent sized team, we can help one another grow buy following, commenting, upvoting and resteaming each others work. Quality over quantity style. Interested? If so all you have to do is use the tag #minnowtowhale when you post. LMK if you're game or have any questions :) I've already upvoted you and followed.

Thanks @joeyrocketfilms I'll be honest, I've never had banana sliceable sin my PB&J. Maybe one day I'll be brave and try it.

Oh my gosh gosh how dare you call yourself a pro ;) jk you should definitely try it. Add a. I e flair.

PB and bananas has been added to my food bucket list!
