This is my first post on Steemit. Over the past couple of weeks, I've been exploring this platform and loving what I've seen so far! Thanks to a local vegan friend @fruitdaddy posting on FB recently about Steemit, I was hooked and quickly knew I had to join!

Over the past five years or so, I've been on quite the journey of mind, body and soul connection. I've discovered passions I've never before had and am excited to share them with whoever is interested in exploring with me.

I am a freelance photographer. I love photographing nature, beautiful landscapes and capturing stories. I look forward to sharing my images alongside my blogs and hopefully collaborating with some of the amazing talents on this platform. I've recently started exploring with video as well!

I am a meditator. Every Monday night, my husband and I facilitate a meditation group at a Unitarian Universalist Congregation. I'd love to share some of the tools and teachings that I've been learning over the past five years.

I am a Vegan. I work at a very popular Vegan restaurant in Tacoma, WA. I am thankful to have some of my artwork up at the restaurant. Over the past week, I've actually been eating a raw vegan diet to help heal my body and will be sharing some of my raw journey here.

Welcome to Steemit Alexa Janell!
The move from New York to Tacoma sounds like a huge change!
I hope it is going well for you and your husband. I love the idea of you two building your own little house, how novel. I am also interested in how you became a vegetarian. I hope you write something about your journey towards vegetarianism and your restaraunt. By the way I love your pictures and I think its great that some of your art is on display at your workplace. 🙂
Take care,
@shortsegments

Hi @shortsegments thanks so much for your kind comments! I will definitely share more on my transition into vegetarian and veganism :) I'm going to be focusing alot more on photography now because I am actually going to be leaving the restaurant. I'm at an exciting/ scary transition but really looking forward to all the future has in store!

Hi Alexa
That sounds exciting!
I liked your pictures so I will look forward to more. Good luck with your new project and another big life change.

Question for you.. should I be replying to obvious bots comments??

No value in replying or upvoting the bots, so I never do.

Great, thanks!

Lovely introduction post! You and your husband look so so happy and in love. Great photography...I personally would love to hear about your tiny home adventure. Glad you decided to make the switch to Steemit. I have been loving it too. Also we aren't too far from eachother, with both of us being in the PNW. Wishing you all the best ♡ I'll be keeping up with your page!
