Well, thanks for the mention, @emmysteven!

Welcome to the Steem blockchain, Kimberly. It took me about a month to feel like I really understood everything, but I just learned a little bit more each day and really enjoyed meeting new friends and finding such interesting posts! Now this place feels like home, and I feel like I've gained a new family—people who truly care and have become a joyful part of my life. I've been to meetups in TN, GA, and Poland to meet them in person, too! I've also found a place where I can share my creativity and people actually listen to my music and read my words. I've never found another social media platform this responsive to my efforts of networking and sharing what I love.

There are a ton of communities on Discord, which is another world of new stuff to learn, but there are super friendly people willing to help you figure it out. PYPT is tomorrow in the Ramble, and is a great place to meet new friends and get people to check out your posts. Here's a post about the last PYPT, so you can see what it's about: https://steemit.com/pypt/@shadowspub/pimp-your-post-thursday-dec-27th-recordings

I'm a mountain girl as well, love nature. I can definitely relate to you on that note. ;) Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Happy New Year to you and yours.
