Hello Steemit! Looking forward to writing and sharing interesting thoughts on healthy living and #decentralives!
It took a debilitating disease to teach my fam that EDUCATION BEATS MEDICATION & life beats debt! We gave into a nasty disease called Sarcoidosis for 3 years and as the bills stacked up along with the prescriptions & side effects, we got disgusted enough to finally say NO MORE!
Life's most trying challenges can also be our most valuable gifts.
It took 18 months for natures powerful Farmacy to kick Sarcoidosis in the ass & my husband has been in remission since 09'.
After 5 years in remission we decided to share our story in hopes of inspiring more people to think outside the prescription. Thus the Education Beats Medication total wellness series was created and we've been able to help people all over the world make more informed decisions for their health!
Ultimately, this life lesson taught me that each of us have the power within to create, to heal, and to write our own story instead of living someone else's.
My secret sauce to building bliss.
Don't just turn lemons into lemonade, SHARE the stinkin' lemonade!
Because of Sarcoidosis I've learned web design, blogging, SEO, keyword research, social media marketing etc. Learning these skills took FOREVER but the time invested was well worth it. What story do you have to share, what trial have you overcome that you can help others navigate through?
Steemit offers anyone the opportunity to SHARE the lemonade & build THEIR bliss. You don't have to know how to build a website, blog, optimize a post, ping, get backlinks, stay in good standing with stupid Google updates, etc. Anyone can write, share their story, expertise etc., help people and earn. Shoot, you don't even have to write, just share other people's posts and earn. Can it be any more simple?
These decentralized platforms create opportunity and help lift people out of poverty but Steemit is genius! Thus far, it looks to me like most Altcoins have NOTHING that really gives them value but this platform has a network effect unlike any other blockchain technology. The community is growing, supportive, like minded & inCENTivized. Sheer genius. I should have jumped at this sooner but I'excited to be here now & am sharing with friends to further grow this network.
Share the lemonade because drinking alone is nowhere near as fun! Wink wink. I'll be back with articles that I hope you find informational, interesting and inspiring.
Until then, be a #BitContagious

Welcome on board :)
Yay for beating the thing!
I had to laugh at your comment about "stupid Google updates", I work in web dev and was weird for generally refusing to pander to Google for the exact reason that you don't know whe their next update will blow all your careful Google optimisations out of the water.
Have fun steeming :)

Thanks. Google loves to keep us on our toes! Makes me crazy. I'm seriously considering throwing in the towel and writing all of my "blog posts" on Steemit from now on. 100% decentralized.

Not a bad idea XD I cross-post from my blog which gets everything, Steemit is currently getting everything the blog does because the stuff I was intending to "specialise" in on Steemit just so happens to be all I'm doing/posting about atm anyway. Art sites just gets art stuff.
Basically I keep the blog because then everything is in one spot and I can do whatever with it. Just in case Steemit ups and vanishes one day (unlikely but you never can tell, I can be slightly paranoid sometimes ;D)
There's other websites that interact with the blockchain as well such as busy.org, I was playing around with it for a while and would probably recommend it and its Medium style editor to people who want an easier method of formatting their posts. Control freaks like me are better off with the markdown editor on steemit :)
