Wow, hello @kryptokylie! Thank you for such sincere introductory post! It struck a cord with me. It was also heart-warming to read about your partner and his family and your little doggie. It seems that you are a great team together :) I hope you'll find this place friendly and rewarding, I put some effort into my blog and connecting to others and Steemit turned out to be very generous and supportive for me. I love it here. And I met here talented and interesting Steemians, and already have learnt a great deal from them! I found your post thanks to @mikepm74 post: https://steemit.com/promo-steem/@mikepm74/the-fresh-five-for-december-26th-new-steemians-to-get-to-know , I strongly suggest following him :) I wish you many successes here on Steemit, all the best and good luck ;) Klaudia
