Miss Erin R. Rogers Introducing Herself
Why I Came To Steemit -
I was told about this site from someone who's opinion I respect dearly. He has been researching crypto for a few years now and has Steem, yet no Steemit account. We started talking about Steemit about a month ago. Since then I have made some BIG changes in my life, including deciding to document my story through my healing/growing/schooling. I am new to blogging all together, so I am excited that Steemit gets to be my main outlet. I also can not wait to be a test dummy for the person who showed me this inspiring site. Lets put it this way, I am here for the long haul.
My Goal Is To Inspire And Give Back Through The Content I Create
I am in an interesting position, and hope to be able to inspire others while on my journey of self reflecting, cleansing my mind, my body and my spirit. At age 24 I gave up drinking for 9 and a half years (ask away). Early January 2016 (34) a turn of events in my life left me "hopeless" and I turned to my OLD familiar comfort. As of today I have 15 days sober again. I threw myself a curve ball by giving up sugar at the same time. This has been an up and down battle so far and I cannot wait to share my journey with all of my fellow Steemiens.
A Little About Me
I am a 35 year old mother of 2 wonderful boys ages 1 and 3, recently divorced as of 8-28-17 (woot woot). I am coming into my age of self-reflection and am learning a tremendous amount about myself. Quitting drinking at age 24 and staying sober for 9 years gives me the strength to know I can do it again.
I have lived in Michigan my whole life yet had never been to the Upper Peninsula (The U.P.) until June of 2016 when my ex-husband and I moved all the way to the Keweenaw (the northern most part of Michigan). We get more snow here then I could have ever even dreamed of. While it took a little getting used to I have mad a home for myself here. I moved here knowing no one and have built a community of people that would do anything for me and I for them. But the snow...
I am a gardener at heart and it directly contributed to my moving all the way north in my native state. You see I moved from the Metro Detroit because they seem to have an issue with people growing food for themselves down there (down state). I had a warrant issued for my arrest and was picked up at my home while I was pregnant and nursing my first born. All over a garden style not known to most. My hugelkultur garden bed was about 10x20x4.
There is so much more I could go on about but I will save it for future posts. I look forward to getting to meet some or all of you. Feel free to ask me any questions. As I stated earlier this is my first blog so I am not holding back. Also PLEASE give me any advice you may have for me going forward.
4 Main Categories Of Interest
*Personal Journal and Self-Refelction*
I will do a "live autobiography". Going back into detail only when needed, but basically keeping a journal of my daily success and failures on my journey.
*Gardening and Frugal Natural Fixes*
I will go into detail about my knowledge in gardening and what I have had to deal with as far as the law enforcement. Through my research in gardening I have also come to discover a number different helpful tips. I have treated burns with a plant right from my garden, used the trees I cut down to make a self watering gardening bed, went completely chemical free for 9 months when I was pregnant (and managed to not smell bad), and have cut out very harmful substances out of my life (i.e. sugar, alcohol, tobacco, trained thinking) not struggling as much as others seem to.
*Conspiracy Theories a.k.a. Truth Seeker*
Since the age of 17 (when September 11 happened) I have had my "eyes open". I have been on a path of self discovery from that very moment. My ideas go as far as you could possibly imagine. Chemtrails, is the earth flat or hollow, how can clouds go behind the moon, project blue beam, these are all examples of how far and wide my curiosity goes. So again feel free to ask me anything, and know some of my posts may throw you a curve ball.
*The People's Family Atlas Of The World*
I have an atlas that has a copy write date of 1895. This may not seem so cool, except for the fact there are things in that book that is no longer in books we are given and told to be truth. I do not want to go to far into this. I will save it for later.
Thank you for taking the time to read my introduction. I can not wait to get started. If you have any questions feel free to ask. Also please give me any advice you may have for me.

Hi misserin :-*

Thanks for sharing something about your life @misserin. Have a great day by the way i'm sorry for your divorce but sometimes it's the best decision. Good luck!
Thank you for that, and thank you for reading.
It has been trying but I made it to the light at the end of the tunnel.
Always, time heals everything. Regards @misserin.
hello! Welcome to it. It's pretty weird here.
Welcome to Steem! I too quit drinking way back when I was like 28 because I could see it leading down a path my father had taken. I did some partying in my late 30s and then quit again. Occasionally in 2016 I liked a fruity marguerita now n then, but in summer of 2016 was diagnosed with early stage liver disease, not due to alcohol abuse, and haven't touched any since. I look forward to following your journey!!
It is hard when you see it happen to someone in your family and end up making the same mistake. My father also was a big drinker my whole life. Infact he never even worked. Then one day (my brothers 28 birthday) he went into heart failure and kidney failure. My father had drank since he was 10 and dropped it in one day. He told me the doctors told him what to do if he wanted to live (quit drinking) and he wanted to live.
It changed my opinion of my father in one day. He was now a hero to me and someone I could look up to.
I am glad to have connected with you. I hope you are in good health. Thanks for the commenr. Journey on my friend.

Thank you. I live with disabilities and now am trying to get disability. Here's to the journey!😊
Hey there Miss Erin Girl, I'm Oatmeal Joey Arnold, and I am inspired by your story, your photos, you have a great son, so cute. My dad was always drinking. I'm 33, from Oregon, and I decided to avoid beer, but my sisters struggled with alcohol for years. So, good work. I have a garden. I eat garlic. I love writing my biography as often as I can.
My mom loves old books and she home taught me and my 3 siblings. Older books are generally better mostly because globalists rewrite the newer school books, textbooks, other books. I love learning and sharing. I love figuring things out and sharing different points of views about everything. Welcome to Steemit. Glad you are here. Take care. Oatmeal.
Hello misserin, Be extremely careful about clicking on links that take you off site,(off of steemit), and never give any of your passwords to offsite locations unless you are 100% sure they are associated with steemit. And the only password you should use is your posting password, never give your Master Key to anyone.
Okay horrible stuff said, primarily because one of the commenters used what is know as a tiny URL, and you have no Idea where it leads.
I work with a group of individual that try to help new users out, give them a leg up, not so much a hand out, well I do give out a small vote to a lot of people. @newbieresteemday is our main page, and we also have a games page where we sponsor games and contest that are easy to play/participate in and have small rewards That account is @newbiegames.
You seem like someone that enjoys a lot of different things and that Homesteading is one of them. There is quite a large group of homesteaders, on steemit and I believe they use the tag #homesteading. If you are familiar with the Discord chat we have an avid homesteader that like to help new users out her name is @goldendawne, and she has a mentoring room in our Discord chat.
Another group I sometimes associate with are the #informationwar group. They do not primarily focus on conspiracy, but they do have members that enjoy the topic.
I think I will end it there, i have a tendency to run on a lot, If you have any questions feel free to ask me or any member of the newbieresteemday group, if they have Newbieresteemday or such in a post title have no fear of asking anything you want.
Hello, Erin, and welcome to Steemit. I look forward to reading your posts, you have led an interesting life. WHAT ON EARTH provoked people to have you arrested over what you did with a patch ground? I really want to know.
welcome to steemit, hope you can give information and good work and interesting to other steemit users, and do not forget always to support all activities in this steemit.this is a good project.
Hi Thank you for #introducingyourself. Im myself quite new in steemit community but I realized that there are few things you could do to have a better start:
Mostly I invested a little bit in STEEM in order to purchase STEEM POWER and STEEM DOLLARS. Why? Its simply important. Without initial investment it will be very hard for you to build reach here and be noticed.
Im not sure if you ever heard about this site:
http://steemd.com/@your_username
Example: https://goo.gl/3mquu1
Perhaps you know it already :)
If you will reply to this message (that would allow me to believe that we may develop mutual engagement and help each other) then I will follow you and upvote some of your future posts.
Cheers and good luck.
Why are you using a tiny URL in your post? Do to the increasing scam and attempted thefts of accounts over the course of the last month, no reputable steemian is using tiny URL. I urge people reading this to NOT click on the tiny URL until @guard has had a chance to investigate for potential harmful site.
