Hello Steemit!
A friend of mine has been telling me to join Steemit for awhile and I signed up a few months ago, but never did anything with my account. As I've been exploring setting new goals for myself, Steemit came to mind and I found myself writing this post. Writing and sharing my stories is something I want to pursue and Steemit seems like a community where creativity, individuality, and collaboration can occur. I look forward to connecting with other writers, those eager to learn, and people happy to share knowledge.
Heather on the Surface
My name is Heather and I live in New Orleans, Louisiana. If you've never been it's a magical city and if you have you know exactly what I'm talking about. I'd like to use Steemit as a way to set and achieve new goals for myself while documenting the process and using the platform to check my progress.
Tell me what your goals are and we can share ideas for sticking to them!

My Favorite Quotes About New Orleans
- “You can live in any city in America, but New Orleans is the only city that lives in you.” – Chris Rose
- "In America, there might be better gastronomic destinations than New Orleans, but there is no place more uniquely wonderful. ... With the best restaurants in New York, you'll find something similar to it in Paris or Copenhagen or Chicago. But there is no place like New Orleans. So it's a must-see city because there's no explaining it, no describing it. You can't compare it to anything. So, far and away New Orleans." – Anthony Bourdain
- "And you find as a writer there are certain spots on the planet where you write better than others, and I believe in that. And New Orleans is one of them." – Jimmy Buffett
