I am sorry I have not been online these last few days, quite a few things have happened some of it I don't really want to share in this public space, but it caused me to be away for a little while, and I needed some time to reflect on the direction my life is taking.

Steemit has guided me in the direction of making a living full time online.

But I cannot solely rely on steemit to do this for me, at least right now. I have had to sit and really think about my current position on the platform. Now don't worry I am not going anywhere at all, I am not leaving the platform. But I thin I have to broaden my skills to other areas in order to make a small living.

Bulgaria is still the best option for me.

It is for sure the best option for me indeed, my bills are very little and this month steemit helped me to reach those goals I was able to pay the phone bill, electricity bill and water bill, which is great and a little worry off my mind.

I say little worry but its not really that bad, but I have to be careful with the money that I earn and ensure that I make just enough to get by each month. Now readers that means if I need to take time out, I can't do that. I cannot take time off if I need to for what ever reason because now the money is all factored in as part of the plan to work online.

Part of the reason I am reflecting is that I am 39 this year in July actually, and while i'm away off from retirement, I have no retirement plan in place, I have no pension in place. So realistically right now the only savings plan I have is my SP balance, which means I could never power down for at least another 30 years, and that is even if steemit is still going by then.

I have no current plan B, but I have an action plan.

Because of what I have been doing on steemit, I have loved the freelance lifestyle, all be it that I never thought I could be the one having a freelance lifestyle. I really lack in some skills, what others can do. Such as I cannot draw, or design websites, or do graphic design. But there is one think I can do, and that is reading tarot.

So I applied to a company called Oranum and applied to be a reader online. After doing an application I went onwards into their chat and had to sit a test on what I had read and whether I understood what was required. Happy to say I passed the test and I could move forward.

So this is where I hit a bit of a snag, and before you ask no this is not a scam, I am very aware that some money making opportunities ask for some kind of investment, I steer clear of these companies completely. I have had my hands burned in the past and will not be doing it again anytime soon.

The problem that I stumbled on is that to do live readings online they require me to broadcast in 16:9 ratio, and I only do in the old format of 4:9 because thats all my mac allows me to do.

So I need your help.

If I am to be able to broadcast on 16:9 ratio I need to get my hands on a logitech camera which is the model C920, which allows me to broadcast in this ratio. I was amazed at there is not a larger amount of camera's that allow us to broadcast in this ratio.

So I had a look online and I found the camera local to me, it is 169 Leva which is about $100 USD. I confess at the moment I just cannot afford to be able to make that sort of purchase at the moment. But at the same time, I want to be able to do video podcasts, and a video show for my server in beyond the veil.

So I know visual and audio is important and I thought if I could get a decent mic it might give me a head start, and it will help me also with my radio shows that I am doing, my equipment at the moment is so limited, and I keep getting in my head the saying. Feed a man a fish and he will eat for a day, teach him to fish and he will eat for a lifetime.

So I found this mic which seems not badly priced and might help me get better audio quality??

I believe that I am approaching a new horizon and its freelance.

The thing is this is a huge deal for me folks because, while I have read tarot for years, I have never with strangers until recently, I really want to continue with my skill, as part of my career path. I can only hope that I have put a strong enough case forward for me to reach out to you and ask for your help.

This was a hard post to write and something I have thought about for a few weeks but held back, because normally I am not a taker I am a giver, I prefer to help everyone and leave myself out of it, but this time I come to you with my heart on my sleeve.

So if you feel that you are able to help me please feel free to donate some SBD to me what you can. I asked for 100 SBD because of the price changes recently. I am really excited about my future, and I honestly believe that you guys can help me, the thing is, its how I can repay you.

I could offer a free tarot reading, but im not sure if that is something you would be looking for. Maybe you just want to monitor my progress while I am working on this amazing adventure, either way I would be happy to hear in the comments section.

So guys if you think I might have a chance and you could help me out, I hope that you will be able to help me out. But if you can't please could you resteem the post and let your followers see the post, that way they may be able to help me.

I am deeply appreciative as always of your help.
