I stopped blogging about 8 months ago.
So, I'm reintroducing myself to those I lost contact with and introducing myself to all of you who have since kindly followed me.
I joined Steemit in October 2016 at suggestion. He's my husband and thought it would be a great platform for me to share my photography and he also encouraged me to write.
My short time on Steemit was a positive experience. During that time, I met a lot of extraordinary people from different walks of life, different interests and beliefs and found myself becoming more open and curious about life outside my four walls.

I'm a fairly private person though, a tad shy—although I can come out of my shell when I meet people who are "kindred". At first, I wanted to be incognito, hence the username and the pretence of not knowing
(that was a little more than awkward!)
Talking about myself is as difficult as sitting through a job interview and being asked how I might describe my strengths and weaknesses. It seems forced and artificial. My strengths are in my weaknesses–I'm perfectly imperfekt in every way. No, John, I am not Mary Poppins!
However…
... the basics...
I'm a mom, a grandmother and a wife. I love to laugh, share life stories, photographs, travels, hikes, music interests, cooking, decorating and gardening tips. Oh and I love dogs. Cats are okay “ish”. They seem to gravitate to me, but it’s not entirely reciprocal.
Also I'm a stranger in a strange land (whatever does that mean anyway?)
It will take time for me to relearn the Steemit rules and the new lingo.
Please be patient with me as I rebuild Steem Power so I can generously upvote some of the great content being posted on Steemit.
I look forward to saying hello again to the people I followed and to meeting new Steemians as well.
