New to this. New to this world. How to introduce myself, where to begin?
I'm Anna, nice to meet you! :) 
#freespirit #allnature #toxicfree #spiritualawakening
I'm a lover of coffee and the outdoors. Good conversations. I'm a risk taker. I'm a free spirit, curious by design, I keep an open mind and more importantly I keep an open heart. I'm messy and unorganized. I'm selfless and kind. I am flawed, yet fearless of learning, fearless of growth. If your not growing, your dying, right?
This past year I recently lost my dad to cancer. It was bone cancer so it was the most horrific, painful form. It all happened to fast and unexpectedly. His passing has opened up a flood gate of questions. Its made me look within and dive deep. And oh how I've been diving deep. (In religion, politics, metaphysics, aliens, atoms, our genetic make up, consciousness, ect) Needless to say, I'm a millennial who's awakening. Just typing that makes me feel all these feelings of insecurities. I'm going through this spiritual awakening and learning so much about the universe and myself. It's hard to share that with just anyone without them thinking your crazy. So this is me sharing, being authentic and vulnerable, which can be hard for me at times. I'm "leaning into the discomfort" as Brene Brown would say. It makes perfect sense, because that's where the biggest amount of potential and growth is.
So anyways, this is me. This is my journey. I'm not entirely sure where I want to go with this, but excited to see where this adventure takes me.
Side note, I have recently within the last 6 months gone chemical and toxin free. I'm make up free 90% of the time now, just starting to excerise daily and doing yoga, learning the art of meditation, I'm learning to eat a raw, clean, organic, high vibrational diet. I love all natural beauty DIY hacks and trying out new toxic free products. I love sharing ideas (so any and all advise and stories are welcomed) and learning new things. We do better together. I've never done any video blog type things before, but I'm loving the vibe of Steemit so maybe in the future.
Was painting this, which inspired me to paint my Steemit sign :) 
Welcome to SteemIt! You are now part of a growing and caring community!
Have a fantastic weekend!
Steem on,
Mike
I'm very sorry to hear about your father, may he rest in peace. But it's great how you're coping with it, learning new things and growing. I'm also a spiritual person so I am certain that this will help you through tough times!
I appreciate your kind words! I've needed an artistic outlet so this is exciting to me. Plus I'm starting to feel the passion and importance of cryptocurrency and this seems to be a great learning tool for that as well.
Hi Anna, I'm sorry to hear about your father's death. It can be so hard for a woman, as it's the first man they truly ever love. I myself am attending a funeral today. Life can be absurd and very hard at times. Loving your coffee and free spirit keywords BTW :) Welcome to your new home. If you need anything just shout "@mindhunter help!" OK! Best wishes Anna.<3
I appreciate that, thank you!!

Hello, Anna! You will do great on Steemit :)
Aw thank you! How long have you been apart of the Steemit community?
I have started in April but it took about two weeks to decide to make an introduction post. Since then I try to be active daily
thank you so much, welcome, when someone awakens it is such a beautiful thing, such an exciting time, the world is at your finger tips much love caroline
Isn't that the truth? The world really is at our finger tips!
Thank you for this post and opening up, sorry that your father was taken away so suddenly.. so I admire the courage and direction that you are taking now, upon yourself, looking after yourself properly - so in a way that respects his wishes. Also..never be disheartened by someone calling you crazy just because they have not had the scope to explore certain topics such as metaphysics. In a way, if your called crazy, your on the right path! So keep it up! Will follow:) look forward to your posts.
I needed to be reminded of that. Thank you for the thoughtful words. Im not sure what my post will entail, but I look forward to sharing my story.

welcome to steemit @mindbodyandsoul
Welcome
Like the artwork. Welcome to Steemit.
thank you anna for sharing that personal story. check out a channel on youtube called youarecreators. it seems to fit in with your life philosophy and you may be able to gleam some gems from that channel. also glad to see you started meditating. what kind of meditation do you practice? I practice TM w/some visualization thrown in the mix. anyway, at the very least, meditation will relieve stress and reverse the aging process (for real, science has show daily meditation practice to lengthen telomeres and slow down cellular degeneration!) anyway, think I'm going to post some of my spokenword pieces soon so if that kind of stuff interests you, stop by and take a peek.
Thank you for saying this, and welcome! I'm looking forward to seeing what you share =]
