My introduction: How I want to use Steemit
This is me,
bound by some unknown and ageless magic to live my life in a nearly century-old shack of a house in the mountains of the state my government decided to call "Kentucky,"
There's a lot of speculation on how the state got it's name, and what it translates to in several Native tongues, but I'll save that for another post.
I want to use this platform to talk about all that orbits me in my life and how I manage. . .
Teaching traditional music to children

Renovating a historic building I bought to house a non-profit

Studying native plants

Writing my own music and generally rocking out

My Job as Program Manager at a local performing arts non-profit

Poetry and creative writing

Child Welfare - C.A.S.A (Court-Appointed Special Advocates)

These are the big things in my life aside from
my family,
food
and my dog, her name is "Goo"
It's a lot to juggle sometimes, but I know I am lucky to be alive and well enough to walk through the strange beauty of my world. I will probably start off with a post telling more about where I am from, then tackle each of the headings I gave you in subsequent posts. Expect a lot of candidness, light-heartedness shaded with some depression, expect me to just show you exactly how I take it all in.
I haven't been this excited since MySpace, I can already tell how fun this is going to be.
Please don't be shy, follow, comment, find me on other social media platforms, download my music, tell me what you want to see more of.
Looking forward to growing with the Steemit Community.
Love through the hallowed portals of internet,
Tommy <3
