Hello wonderful world of steemians!
I am excited to share this platform with such an involved community where people from all walks of life can gather to be heard, to contribute in conversations and experiences!
I am a photographer, mother, and dancer who is not afraid to follow my heart and my intuition. I live in Johannesburg, South Africa close enough to the city and the country to enjoy the best of both.
So many things in this beautiful life captivate me ranging from portrait and nature photography, to parenting, child development, mindfulness, fire flow arts, dancing, and even gardening and nutrition.
My amazing little family
Learning continuously is one of my highest values (I'm a bit of a nerd actually). I've currently been quite taken by topics which I avoided in the past - things like human rights, libertarianism and even philosophy and poetry.
Wildly wandering from idea to idea, skill to skill, conversation to conversation and now the wonderful world of steemit.
Post below your current interests, your favorite book and your steemit page - I look forward to connecting with you!

Welcome mama, I'm at the steemitmamas discord too and found you from there.
You have a beautiful family. Looking forward to your posts and my gosh, we have another photographer in steemit! This place is good for finding talented people but also be on the lookout for unscrupulous characters. Make sure to watermark your pics :)
See you around mama! I have a few friends I found from SA and they are wonderful people.

Welcome, welcome, welcome it is truly awesome to have you here!
The community here is awesome for those who take the time to form bonds, friendships and engage in the right way...You sound just the kind of person the community needs more of. You will come across many negative views of Steem on your travels here, in my experience they are usually from people here for other reasons than interacting and sharing with like minded peeps.
My favourite aspect of the platform is that I can talk to and make friendships with people from Venezuela, Australia, Macedonia, India and indeed South Africa...That is something very special indeed and something I cherish about the blockchain.
For truly community minded Steemians, I highly recommend joining Steemit servers on Discord...For a while I believed I did not need another platform in my life but WOW! I have made some amazing friends there...Real friends. Obviously you should start with @poeticsnake 's server where you can share and promote your posts, chat with some cool peeps including the slithering Steemian herself, It's also an amazing place to get all your questions answered and often join online Steemit radio shows highly recommended.
Congratulations on being Snekked!
If you ever need help or advice, please do not hesitate, I am always around!
May your journey be fun, fruitful and fulfilling

Oh there is so much more than we initially see. Many of the radio shows (and visual shows too) have amazing giveaways as well as fab info and coaching and workshops, from up-votes, to coins, to physical items etc.
If you need any discord pointers or recommended groups to join, just give e a shout, my name is the same there too. :)

Welcome to steemit @wildwanderer, you have a gorgeous family, enjoy the journey!
I see you're a dancer - ballet?
I love the phrase you left at the end, not familiar with the author. I enjoy reading biographies & mostly do food blogging, talking about bnb hosting, inspirational and health issues, etc etc wherever life takes me.

Thanks for your support Lizelle 💜 Not a ballet dancer unfortunately but I’d have loved to at least have done contemporary dancing but I’m only trained in belly dancing and fire dancing 🔥💃🏻🔥. I look forward to following your posts! That quote is from Alan Watts’ autobiography 🤗

Thank you 😊 I’ll definitely be posting a bit about fire flow arts but basically it is dance/movement with fire props such as fire poi, staves, fans or hula hoops (amongst others). It pushes your co-ordination skills and once you get in the “flow” of moving fluidly with a combination of moves and dance, it becomes quite meditative and rather magical 😉🔥

Hi, nice to meet you :) You have a beautiful family.
My current interests are trying new foods, learning Chinese, hula-hooping and giving blogging a go! My favourite book is A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews.

Awesome! There are quite a number of South Africans on Steemit - a good crowd.
I love the landscape panorama you've shared. I hope you share lots more.
I'm a writer/photographer/graphic artist myself. I hope you'll check out my work, especially if you like romance stories at all - though I will be starting serializing another one soon (like in about a month) which is not quite so romance focused. ... but still part of the same series.
Oh, I came in from the Snekked post.

Besides following my blog here, you could follow my A'mara Books page on Facebook. (That way you can get notifications, if you like - something that Steemit really should implement!)
I also have Viking Visual on Facebook, though I haven't been doing quite as much on that these past few months while working on my writing almost full time.
