One year ago in August 2016, I discovered Steemit -- this amazing social media platform!
@canadian-coconut
Steemit had launched 5 months earlier.
A Youtube video by @dollarvigilante about making money on Steemit caught my eye.
I was already aware of Bitcoin and Ethereum, because I regularly listen to and read alternative financial news, but I had not yet taken the plunge into the world of cryptocurrencies. I had never blogged before either; but I jumped right in.
At the time, I was a stay-at-home Mom to 3 unschooled children ages 11 and under.
My home-based business buying Scrap Gold had slowed down a lot, so I welcomed a new income stream.
I already spent LOTS of time researching topics that I'm passionate about, so I started channeling that into my own Steemit blog.
Steemit Offers Me:
♥ An Open-Minded, Intelligent Community
♥ Great interaction with people from all over the world.
♥ GREAT contacts and new friends.
♥ More quality interaction than on Facebook.
♥ Learning more from my own research.
♥ Learning constantly from the wealth of knowledge that others share here!
♥ Steemit has given me Autonomy, Mastery and Purpose. I'm unschooling myself!
What Else Have I Learned?
After being exposed to Cryptocurrency information over and over again, I finally had to act on it. About 3 months ago I started to diversify into other cryptos and now I have CRYPTO FEVER!
I really feel that this new technology and the blockchain are going to change the world as we know it. It's a new Renaissance and all of us here on Steemit are involved in the very early stages. It is exciting!
I would like to say a huge THANK-YOU to all of my readers, supporters and friends who have come along on this journey with me.

Please Comment Below and Let's Have a Productive Conversation!
August 10, 2017
WooT... WooT... Happy BirthDay to You...
I believe You've helped change a number of things on Steemit with the various causes AND Steemians that You have supported... I'm very new and You have certainly helped not only with support but also the guidance & understanding that new Steemians often go through.
Thank You again Linda for everything that You do here in our Steemit Community... often times with little fanfare... You just go about doing so many little things that ADD Up to so many GOOD Things !!
I've also been both un-Learning AND Learning, especially regarding crypto currencies... and feel I've found a home.
Cheers !!

And yeah, I could have mentioned un-Learning too. Many times we have to unlearn something before we can learn something.

I was so excited as you know, knowing this update from you was coming.
I learned even more about you, since in the crypto world, I want to know more about people for the right reasons, but don't like asking..... most of us in this space see the surveillance state and related issues and privacy breaches.
I love learning a bit more about some of my friends and favorite people but hate asking for those reasons LOL.
Learning more from your own research and unschooling yourself -- 2 of the really good nuggets in this post that many of us either feel also like you -- or can learn from!!
I had to get a Crypto Market / Trading post up first but this post of yours was my priority for the day and now my day is complete and it is only 1:34 pm
LOL.
Thanks for being a friend and a community leader! You are one of my favourites on here sister.
Stay strong, and much love to your family and you.

@canadian-coconut Congratulations on your anniversary, and thank you for all the hardwork. I haven't been here very long and as such have not been following you since the beginning, but when I look at your dedication and bredth of work it gives me hope that the tide is turning. I have been drifting in a wilderness of thought blowing like an autumn leaf through the blandness of social media, finding steemit and writers like yourself has been akin to finding an intellectual oasis. It gives me hope of a future where the power is once again with the people. Again thank you for your work and dedication to lifting the veil of unreality that has pervaded our society. Happy Anniversary!!

I'm new to Steemit, so it is great to hear that you have had a great 365 days here and are enjoying it as much now as you did at the start!
I agree that it is a great place to meet like minded souls, and wonderful for mothers to earn some extra cash from home! The stress of finding child minders or dropping children to school and dashing back and parking in time is not healthy!!
Your introduction title drew me in 'Mother of 3 writes about ------- Vaccine Dangers & Failures, Unschooling, Parenting, Natural Immunity, Health ------- Exposing Corruption & Lies.' - topics that I'm also very interested in as a mother and energy healer.
I look forward to reading your posts now I've found you! :) Well don on your 1st year!

In our small simple country (Philippines), we haven't contracted yet, the "CryptoFever". Feels like most of us are not yet "exposed" to it, or like the majority, are skeptical & very slow to adapt in this changing world. :3
It's one of my advocacies that's why i tried joining Steemit. And wow, what a great move was it. :) I do really wanted to learn not only crypto, but how people enjoy their lives even though they are on the other side of the world. Also to educate the Filipino people that there is more to life than Facebook. ;)
It's been a month and a half now since i joined. It's not easy, there are times that i feel i'm oblivious even if i have nice content. But hey, it takes time & effort and a lot of passion & patience if you want to be successful in something. :)
Thank you for being such an inspiration for all of us. The journey in life is not a clear path, it has a lot of ups & down. But what's important is that you enjoy the ride & always have a positive outlook in life. Live, experience, & enjoy!
Always be an encouraging force for all us Steemians. You motivate us to bring out our very best. More power & have a blessed Steemit birthday to you @canadian-coconut! ♡♡♡

You are, in my little humble opinion doing pretty good. I looked at your page, you have "423 followers and you are following 269", and more important than that a REPUTATION SCORE of 55. So you are doing just fine and ,

Less than 1% of the world so far is really even aware of what cryptocurrencies are. So it's no wonder that not many people you meet have "crypto fever."
You'll be the person that they go to for advice though when 3-5% of the people start to become aware.
Thank-you for your kind words, and I wish you all the best here on Steemit.

Would definitely learn more about crypto & at the same time enjoy my time here on Steemit. #hopeforhumans is something i am pursuing to put more emphasis more on people than automation. I don't know how to start but eventually it will be clear to me. :)

Happy steemit birthday @canadian-coconut! I'm so glad to be a part of this journey with you :) I like how you phrased it that you're "unschooling yourself" :) I definitely feel that a similar process is occurring in my life thanks to steemit. I feel that I went from researching topics that I cared about 24/7 to finding out about steemit and finally being able to voice my research, which branched out into more autonomy, mastery and purpose, as you put it. Haha, so I'm seeing a lot of similarities here :) I really enjoyed hearing more about your story and how you came to be a part of steemit as well. Thanks for sharing this with us and steem on!

I completely agree! Cryptocurrency is going to change the world as we know it, and I can't wait to see all the great things it's going to do. I never could have conceived beyond smart phones and the internet itself how life could advance beyond these things and I was getting pretty discouraged by how fascism and government control are getting so heavy and ominous. But cryptos represent a peaceful revolution of freedom and it gives me hope for my children's futures! :)

This is a great post. I have only been here a few months and don't have a lot of time to spend here but my experience is akin to yours and it gives me hope in what a whole year might bring. Thanks for your inspiring enthusiasm.
I do have a question for anyone that can answer. Why do some use the term unschooled instead of home-schooled? Are the children not learning at home and is this not a reflection of better schooling? The term unschooled makes me think of uneducated, untaught, feral. I will have to look up the definition.
I noticed you used the term home-based business as opposed unbased and I was just curious if anyone could explain the social understanding of the term, unschooled. Thanks.

Thanks! I wish you lots of success here too.
Unschooling basically means that the children are not following a curriculum and their education is interest-based. We don't have a list of what they must accomplish each year. Living is Learning.
Here's one post that I did recently which discusses it:

Thanks, I read that post, it was very interesting. I still think home-schooled or free-school are better descriptions of your efforts and philosophy but I get that unschooled is a protest against questionable educational tactics of the government which apparently is aimed at dumbing down not learning. Maria Montessori method is based on observing the needs of the individual child in each moment. Her story is amazing and I have always liked her philosophy. Congrats and kudos to you and all parents who do not leave their child's raising to the state. Thanks for the explanation.

Excellent post and so inspiring! We're all doing well here on steemit! It is a wonderful thing. So happy b-day to you and I wish you many more! I did learn what un-schooling meant and think that's a very interesting concept through just reading the comments. Keep steaming on and have a great day!

Happy Steemit-versary, @canadian-coconut! I'm coming up on my 1 year as well; though I just started actively using it a couple weeks ago. I'm glad you were able to see the potential and to stick with it. I feel like consistency is the hardest part of any success we have.
Interested in learning more about your unschooling philosophy. Our school system is terrible for indoctrination. Your post is formatted nicely too. Easy to read.

Hello @canadian-coconut. I like your name. Congratulations on your one year anniversary . My date of joining was only 10 days ago, 8-1-17, and I have really been enjoying myself. @weetreebonsai introduced my wife to steemit a little while ago and she enjoyed it. She convinced me to give it a try so I did. I look forward to the day when I can post my one year anniversary. Keep up the vacs fight. the care of people children belong to the family not to government or politicians, and definitely not to the turn coat white coat society members that have forgotten all about the hippocratic oath. May your day be bright, and your children's day even brighter.

I so love that you are an unschooling Mom who happens to research crypto in your "free" time! As a retired homeschooling Mom myself, I appreciate the freedom, creativity and zeal for learning I was able to take part in and teach my kids while in that role. They are in public school now that they are in the upper grades, but we still embrace the "pioneer spirit" as a family and cryptocurrency seems like a modern day frontier. I agree, it is definitely a Renaissance! And so exciting! Congrats on your steemiversary! All the best!

BTW, I agree with most of the things you write, the vaccinations for instance.. unfortunately the mother to my son don't agree and since we live in a world where woman+state = control/power , then my son have got vaccinated... I sent this post to her... but I think she will never wakeup.

You may be looking at the delegated steem (in brackets) that I vote with, which isn't mine.
I hope that your child's mother will open her eyes to this issue.

I meant your account value and noticed that you have withdrawn often too... I noticed the delegated steem you have... as I said you have social skills that I need to learn :)...
Yes, I hope my son didnt take too much damage from those vaccinations... maybe your blog can help the mother...
Steem on!
