Wow! This is a lovely post, @sbear678. I'm really glad to hear from you in this post. I like the fact that your partner was the one who introduced steemit to you. Besides, that you would like a life free of being chained to a 9 to 5 job. Been a chef for 10 years, you have a lot of experience which you might want to share with community members here. I'm not a professional chef, but cooking is one of my passions. I really do love anything about food, nutrition, food art, pretty much creating new things. I bet you'll be able to connect with people in your niche here. Some of the people I'm following in the food niche are @progressivechef and @amy-goodrich. There are a lot more wonderful people in that niche! Thank you for participating in the @redfishpillar contest. Please read new update about the contest on @redfishpillar's blog and stay tuned for announcement of the winners of the contest. Steem on!!!
