Here I am. Jumping into the deep end of the Steemit--somewhat confused but eager to learn. Apparently I used to be a human, but now I am a minnow, However I AM a minnow with a DREAM…a dream to one day be a whale… or a dolphin….ya definitely a dolphin because they smile and make those adorable little ah ah ah ah sounds when they try to talk to you!

Besides being transformative from land to sea creature, I am pretty transformative in my life activities too. I have done like, a really lot of stuff in my life (that was said in my best impression of a 19 year old millennial YouTube star--but you can’t hear it because I am typing.) Some say I get bored easily. This is not untrue. Some say I am addicted to learning things. That is a fair assessment. The reality is I just really enjoy following my nose. I like to think that my life is one really big concept album from the 70’s, where the music flows together and yet it’s weird as F#@k.

So what do I mean specifically? Well right now I own a Vintage & Upcycling clothing business, I sometimes work in film & television as an actor/producer assistant, I used to own an a contemporary art gallery, I also used to be a flight attendant. I have jumped out of an airplane, rode on the back of a motorcycle from Canada to San Francisco, I have drove in a smash-up derby, I have curated three private art exhibitions for Elton John, I have slept on a roof top in Athens, Greece because I was a flat-broke back-packer, I have taken the bull by the real & proverbial horns when I was 13 and my bestfriend dared me to jump into the coral with it. When I was a wee little kid, my parents rented an 8 bedroom mansion that was next door to an insane asylum with a bunch of their hippy friends…so I guess I can add that I even lived in a hippy commune!

I also make my own cheese, and bread, and grow my own food right here in a Canadian city. I am writing a screenplay, it is post-apocalyptic. I live with my husband who is an artist, and my cat who is a mouse-hunter. Oh yeah...I in my late 40's.

There you have it, you now know a little bit more about me. I hope you decide to follow me while I attempt to figure out the Steemit platform. I will do my best to provide content that visually interesting, or thought provoking, or something. I definitely will engage with people who follow me. I can also promise that whatever it is I share it will be authentically me…for whatever that is worth.

Thanks a bunch for reading this.
