A Dream or Real Life - Introduction to our "new" life in Mexico

in #introduce3 years ago

Hi,
I got introduced to cryptocurrency and now hive.blog by @jeffberwick (ie. The Dollar Vigilante) and decided to give it a go. I will forever be grateful for that knowledge as it gives me hope for a free and just world in the future.

Sometimes it feels like the world is moving so fast it makes the head spin (I get motion sickness) - at least in the world of technology it seems like that. I am not that old and I struggle to keep up at times. There is always something new to learn. At times we don't even get a chance to master that "new" before we move on another new. But with all due respect to the blockchain world and the cutting technology that is ever evolving and "new" - learning this technology might just be our key to our freedom in the future. So I am not about to give up that freedom by saying "its too hard", or "its too confusing". And neither should anyone else for that matter. At least if you care about security and where we are going in our future. But hey I'm getting off the point of this post, so let me introduce myself...

Hi my name is Kathleen.

My partner and I along with our 5 year old daughter have decided to uproot ourselves once again from the USA and venture to the slower paced life of Mexico to build our new life to learn the culture and language and get away from all the "noise".

I quit my job, sold all our stuff and moved. I now have fulfilled one of my biggest dreams - spend more time with my daughter especially since we chose the path to homeschool.

My second goal and dream is make an income while pursuing our dreams as a family. Lastly, but not least and the ultimate, is to find myself, my purpose and my health once again as it seems I have lost myself along the way by integrating myself into society and my job.

It has been 2 months and I can honestly say that it has not been stress free time for me as our Spanish is still at a minimal and we have had learning curves. Let's just say, this is not a vacation as many of our friends seem to think. There are a lot of things to work out and mountains to cross all the while dealing with a language barrier, but... there is no turning back in my mind...

So Hopefully you will follow me on my journey of self discovery, cryptos, homeschool, nature, life in Mexico and also health and food.

Hello @utopialive ! This is @macchiata from @OCD (original content decentralized) team. We saw that you already posted your first post here in Hive Blockchain!

It would be awesome if you do an introduction post. As a sample of what an great intro post is, you can refer to this intro post for reference:

Keeping Up With the Buzz - My Introduction to the Hive Community

There's no pressure on this. You can choose whatever information you would like to share.

You can tag me @macchiata on your introduction post if you have done with it.

Hi @macchiata. Thank you for your suggestion. I am not able to post anything until my RC is full which is in 2 days. I am still learning about all the terminology and how everything works. Is there anything I can do to boost it so I don't have to wait 2 days to get it refilled. I am having a hard time finding posts explaining this. Thank you and I appreciate you!

Hello @utopialive you can simply powerup Hive that you have into Hivepower to get more RC to post. If you want to know the amount of post that you can do, check out hiveblocks.com/@username(insert your username). As you can see below, you can do about 2 comments/posts.

Here's more information that you can check out as well!

  1. Exploring communities on hive OCD Communities Incubation Program and https://peakd.com/communities for all communities on hive
  2. For tips and information as a Hive newbie, click here: newbie guide.
  3. The important thing is Hive is a bit different from other social media platforms since you are monetizing your blog. You can't include content that you don't own without sources. For more information, check this post: Why and How People Abuse and Plagiarise.

If you have questions or concerns, you can hop into OCD's Discord server or you can tag @macchiata if you have further question. I'd be happy to help.

Have a nice day and have fun exploring hive!

Alternatively, if you are into crypto already, you can buy some Hive and power that up, something like 30 Hive will keep you going for a long time. This initial investment is well worth it to enable you to keep active on Hive.
