RE: How has Steem impacted my life? {Musings & Vegetables}
This is such an interesting question and, I think you've nailed it: people and learning. I could not agree more about getting to know people - like you - in ways that other social media don't allow. I have met/am meeting some very interesting and inspiring people here and whose perspectives are stretching mine.
I love that we all have eclectic interests about which we may not write, but about which we engage through, e.g. @yourtop3 and other places where we might meet in the steemiverse.
Like you, I have to have boundaries, and also like you, it's not been all sweetness and light but, I guess, that's life. In the virtual and real worlds.
So glad to have met you - thanks to Steemit.
@theycallmedan was definitely on to something with this one! I'm also very happy he chose to extend it so that many of us slowpokes have the opportunity to add our experiences to the table. You see many of the same themes running through these posts, but then each of us has our own unique perspective to add, as well.
You hit on one of the things that I have been very appreciative on here more so than any other social media platform--for the most part it is much more forgiving when you do need a break for life or aren't able to engage as much for any reasons. As much as Steem (and Discord) can be a bit addicting, I know when I need some time away my pals will still be there when I get back!
Very happy to have you as a friend, Fiona! I'll think of you fondly as I break out my Wonderbag for another round today. 😊
Since I'm not overly active on Steemit and in many discord channels except one, I might have missed this.
Likewise.
You do know that they are recognised / certified by the UN as a project where people can buy carbon credits for GHG offsets? I'm still researching projects for my client and this remains one of my preferred ones because of its multiple benefits, not least of which is job creation and women empowerment.
