Let me introduce myself

Hello everyone! Nice to meet you all!

My name is Leonor (people always call me Leo) and I live in Lisbon, Portugal, although I am a solo traveler and take any chance I get to explore the world in the most sustainable way possible.

At home, you can often find me reading books, creating herbal teas, writing novels or expressing myself through art.

I have a deep bound with nature and all animals. I respect all forms of life and, even though I like humans, my best friend in the world is a 2 year old rescue Maine Coon cat named Matthew Clawley (pictured).

I've got an interest in natural medicine a few years ago through Fantasy Books. Since I am chronically ill (Stage 3 Endometriosis, Adenomyosis and PCOS), I've also found interest in finding ways to cope with pain and illness that didn't involve typical pharmaceutical medicine.

What more can I say...

For almost 3 years I've been doing Medicinal Herbalism workshops with a professional Herbalist. I'm learning so much and putting everything in practice every day.

I hope you will like my future posts. Can't wait to contribute!

Love,

Leonor

Wiehoe! Nice to have onboarded a fellow writer, living in Portugal, who I haven't even met in real life, although it feels like it :>)

Welcome, once again! Nice to have you as a fresh addition to the natural medicine community. Can't wait to hear more from you and to learn from and inspire each other. I wish Steemit and your blogging will lead to another step in your healing process ( as has been the case with many of us ).

Um abraço,

Vincent

Thank you so much for letting me join this community and for the warm welcome :)

How did you guys meet online??

#Nanowrimo Discord, ( writers in Portugal ), in November.
Apparently she grew up in the area where I live :>)

not exactly grew up but most of my summers and easters were spent there with my grandparents! Happiest times <3

I see. That counts as growing up for me :>)

Time spent at - and with - my grandparents, both in The Netherlands and at my mother's parents' Summer house in the South of France ( every year until I was 8 ) also belongs to my very favorite memories.

You are my kinda woman - herbal teas and books and travelling!!! i love you already.

Welcome aboard!
I love your cats name. He is quite beautiful. Steem has a great natural medicine community . I ❤ STEEM

thank you so much <3 he is right next to me now saying thank you too :D

😊👍 your welcome have a great day!

Welcome to the Steemit community Leonor @herbalist-fox!
We hope you and Matthew Clawley are very happy here, and we sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.

Eight suggestions to consider:
1. Guard your passwords carefully, and only publish with the posting key,
2. Use your active key only for wallet transactions, keychain and steemconnect,
3. The master password is only used to reset compromised passwords,
4. DO NOT lose your passwords; copy and store offline,
5. Do not publish other people's work, be it photos or written, without credit, and
be sure to source all of your work, even if it is your own
.
6. An introduceyourself tag is used only once , and
7. When you open your steemit.com, in the upper right corner of the page there are 3 bars. Click on those, and then on the "welcome", and you will get a lot of reading material that will help you.
8. Do NOT open any links in memos or comments that you do not know who they belong to. If it sounds too good to be true it probably is, so the old saying goes. There is nothing free here.

I found you because @xcountytravelers and @brittandjosie from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

If you find yourself overwhelmed and need some guidance, or if you have any questions, there are informed Steemians available who can help you; you can click to go to the Steem Terminal in Discord here:

Hey, Leonor, and a warm welcome from another Portuguese Steemian! 🇵🇹 (Although I've been following Steem's growth for more than a year, I actually made my first post only yesterday.)

I too do what I can to avoid pharmaceutical medicine as much as possible, through healthy lifestyle choices and growth mindset practices. 🌱

By the way, your user name reminded me of something: did you know that, in Japanese folklore, foxes ("kitsune") serve as messengers for Inari, the Shinto spirit ("kami") for rice, tea, agriculture, fertility, and prosperity, among other things? 🍵🎌

Wishing you all the best in life, and much success on Steem!
Romeu

PS: Is it me or is that one huge cat? 😸

Hello Romeu! glad to find more portuguese people :)
I knew that foxes were viewed as messengers, but I didn't know for what they were messengers. I absolutely love it!! I always felt a connection to foxes, and everything they embodied.
Thank you so much for your welcome.

Not only my cat is huge, he was only 5 months old on this picture, which means he's bigger now oops :)
thank you,
Leonor

What a beautiful cat you have there!

Good luck and enjoy yourself!

All the best.

Thank you so much <3

Welcome to Steem! That is one giant cat! :)

thank you :) He was only 5 months old when this picture was taken, so now he's even bigger! I might post more about him, since he's my therapy and healing pet :)

Leonor, we're so blessed to have you with us! Thanks for using NMio for your intro post too, yours may be the first one!

I'm glad you made your post on my week to curate, as I love welcoming folks to steem. It's been a while since I did any welcoming (or much of any steeming at all for that matter)!

Of course, you know our discord server, where there's always someone to help with questions. Something that helped me when I was just getting started with steem was contest participation. Whether I won or not, getting involved always helped get my name out, get attention on my feed, and get support. Regular posts also help a lot. Every few days, once a week, etc. will help keep your name fresh on folks' feeds. Hands down the best thing to do though, is comment on other posts. Get out and engage with like minded folks all over, there's a lot on this blockchain! If natural medicines aren't the only things you're interested in, there's other awesome steem interfaces like steempeak that you can use to look around!

We look forward to whatever you've got to share. Welcome aboard 💚

I have selected your post as one I will feature in an upcoming post! In addition, I have published a post that provides great references to assist you in your journey.

Welcome to steemit Leonor! Hopefully you make many friends here.

Main Coons are the best, I used to have one all white just yours. Sorry to hear about your illness, clearly you have found a way to naturally manage it. Nature is the best medicine. Have a great week-end!

Thank you :) Yes, I love Maine Coons! They are like an old soul trapped inside a big body! <3

It looks quite big! How heavy it is?

In this picture he was still a 5month old baby, he's bigger now, with about 8,5 kg :)
