Hello Heidi, welcome to Steemit! Your life journey intentions are very similar to mine. Nice to meet you. I have been trying to steer my life in a direction where I avoid the trappings of the rat race for as long as I can remember. To date I have set up my own freelance niche yoga business, built the website and offer sessions remotely as and when, I do other freelance presenting work at the weekends, I do the odd paid music gigs here and there, have tried my hand at cryptocurrency day trading (around the clock zombie style.....I don't advise), I've been messing around with matched betting too (again, I don't advise!) I create digital art/poetry fusions, have set-up a hemp based food blog recently, built a fermented health foods micro brewery and organic fruit and veg project, and now, like a breath of absolute fresh air, comes steemit into my world, like a Godsend! Well, let me tell you, so far I have nothing but great things to say about steemit, and I've only been a member here since yesterday. It's fantastic and I really do believe that the future for Steemit is very bright indeed. As a creative content writer myself it provides a revolutionary, and potentially very disruptive medium to the world, through which people like us can finally both benefit and contribute towards in meaningful ways. I'm really excited about this place. So, all I would say to you Heidi, is keep dreaming and following your own journey. I wish you the very best of luck going forward. Feel free to reach out to me if you ever want to share ideas or bang creative heads. I'm all ears. All the best :)
