Hello Steemit!

Hi Steemit community! I'm @leysa, a graphic designer + artist. My aesthetic is moody and introverted and I'm a total ceraunophile—lover of storms—and am totally inspired by stormy weather and the wind and the air. I'm a mama to three daughters, aged 6, 3 and 4mo, so I keep pretty busy. I'm married to organist @contrabourdon. I have two cats, Boris and Bonnie. I'm also a huge fan of classic literature and period drama.

So, if you're into moody art, graphic design, illustration, drawing, or classic period drama those are probably the topics I'll be posting. It's all very new and a little bit overwhelming, but practice makes perfect.

This is a self-portrait illustration I did that captures my mood. I hope you like it.

Hi @leysa!
Welcome to Steem. I wish you a good start and much fun here.

Thank you so much! I’m having a great time so far 😄

Hi @leysa! Thanks for writing a little bit about yourself! You are the first ceraunophile I have ever met, haha!

I find your illustration very fitting the mood of your brand. I know Steem does take a lot of self-education but people often are willing to give your a helping hand, if you ask for it. I'm sure @contrabourdon wouldn't mind explaining some things to you here and there. If you find'll his advice annoying (just like @laputis is finding mine annoying because I won't shut up), just let me know. I will be here to help you out...

So anyway, I do hope you will reach minnow status before the end of this year. For this to happen, power up everything you earn, use all relevant profitable tags and upvote 10 good posts a day, reply to comments you get and comment on other people's posts to grow your community.

See you around! :)

All @organduo and I talk about is Steem, tokens and organs 😂

On-chain and off-chain too...

Haha, I’m picking up tips from @contrabourdon whether I like it or not lately, it is all he talks about most of the time also!

I really appreciate your tips as there’s a lot to get my head around and it makes me feel just that little bit less overwhelmed 🙏 so thank you.

I learned about the 🐟 statuses yesterday; it’s all very fascinating!

Yes, he is a dolphin now! The more Steem Power one has, the better status one achieves. Just like in real world, haha! One approach is to dive deep into Steem ocean and this requires many hours a day of studying. Not many people have that kind of time. So another approach is dipping your toes into Steem ocean and going in a little bit deeper each time. Each day you will have a new discovery this way but still won't spend too much time here.

Dipping my toes in sounds good to me at this stage of my life 👶🏻🧒🏻👧🏻 ☺️

Welcome to Steemit leysa. The official FAQ can be found here and has A LOT of information https://steemit.com/faq.html - Also remember, Steemit is just ONE of the sites built that uses Steem the blockchain. You should also check out DTube and DSound for starters and if you're a gamer, Splinterlands! There are many other cool apps but I can't list them all here, there's just too many! But I'd also like to mention Steempeak, it's a better blogging platform that has a lot of cool features. The latest project you should also check as a new member is a palnet! Welcome to the blockchain! :) Oh, and if you're interested in creating your own tokens or smart contracts, check Steem engine!

Thanks for the great info. Yup I’m also using Steempeak—it’s pretty user friendly with some great features.
