(I edited this article, fyi, from an original 400 follower goal. I didn't intend it as annoying spam at all, but obviously it bothered a few readers.. so I am repentant. Mea culpa. My thinking was that sometimes people respond well to very specific goals and enjoy helping someone out--it's been effective and helpful in the past--and that maybe I would reach a few people that I otherwise wouldn't, but.. that's not how it was being received, so I changed it. I like that Steem seems to welcome changes of heart and perspective. Xx.)
A big hello, especially to those of you I haven't had the chance to connect with personally on this platform.
I'm a singer-songwriter and poet who has being slugging it out--with serious health problems thrown in!--for years now.
I have cried practically oceans over how hard it is (I think most people have no idea how hard and overwhelming it really is to be a full-time artist & musician, even when you have great opportunities). And I have fought hard and stuck to it just the same, because some things are worth fighting for. I believe this work is what I have been placed on this planet to do, and so I fight tooth and nail, every day.
I share this because being on Steem has given me so much hope in just two short weeks. With enough support on here, I will be able to see my way through to the next steps again. Constantly being in scramble-and-survive mode is hard on anyone, and not ideal for making good progress!
I am so grateful so far for all of the kindness and love and support I have received. People here seem so eager to help and hold each other up.
So.. with that in mind, would you kindly take a few minutes to look at the content on my blog and, if you appreciate my work, consider joining me on this journey?
Always so grateful. At this stage of things, it is honestly the case that I am dependent on the kindness and generosity of others to keep going in my work.
Sincere love to you all.
Xx,
Kay
