Steemit.com is taking me about 40% of my time. My Job Search Clients another 60%. So now, I not longer have time to burn at LinkedIn, but very few hours. However, all my Steemit Posts are blasted through the LinkedIn Network.

What that hell is going on, then??? Why am I away from LinkedIn?? Well it happens that I just tested that I can make on Steemit.com more income in a week than a Venezuelan Manager make in a Months. And a find that very L.O.L

In Fact, Steemit.com is turning as a way to get capital for financing international excursions. I know you wont believe it, but you also may know I dont talk bullshit.

• Think about what I am saying here: Possibility of making more income on Steemit than a Venezuelan Manager in his company, in just a week, without need a title and a mountain of experience: You only need to have a Subject Matter that you love and have passion for it, and that you calculate there is a market for it.

Being the change I want to see in steemit

moderndayhippie (56) in help •  

Being a minnow on steemit is hard, especially when you first join. I would know, I just joined a few months ago. And let's face the truth, this platform could be more user friendly to the new minnows. Don't get me wrong, I am not hating on steemit at all, in fact I love the steemit platform! It is just still fairly new and has things to work on, no big deal, Rome wasn't built in a day. Instead of just bitching about the things I don't like, I am going to "be the change I want to see in the world steemit."

So back to my point about being new on steemit. I know there is steemit chat and other ways minnows can get help but it's still very confusing and a little bit overwhelming at first, as there is no real direction on how to even do these things. When I first joined steemit I really did feel like a *minnow* lost in the deep blue sea. Wandering lost, trying my best to follow what other people were doing but not knowing exactly why. I was very tempted to quit multiple times but I'm extremely happy I didn't. Now I want to help other minnows from having the same issues I had.

Since I finally feel like I am getting to know steemit I started trying to help 1 minnow a week to guide them through some things that were not so easy for me to figure out.

• I tell them which discords to join and how to get support
• I send them upvotes from upvote services and multiple discords
• I do post promotions for them and teach them how to do their own
• I explain how to utilize upvote bots and resteem services
• I tell them who to follow to get free upvotes on all their posts and some free resteems
• And whatever else they are struggling with.....

I try to build their steemit account a little bit to give them a reason to stay on steemit and the correct tools to enjoy it right from the beginning, without all the headaches.

Why do I do this?

Mostly because I really believe in the steemit platform, but also because the more active users on steemit the better the chances of this platform growing. If that happens STEEM is worth more and everyone who has put time and effort into this platform WINS, so why not?

I know first hand that many people get discouraged quickly on steemit if they don't get any results in the first few weeks. I was fortunate enough to get a decent size upvote in the first couple of weeks of joining steemit so I was instantly hooked, but other people aren't so lucky to have the right person see one of their post and give it a big $ upvote.

This is the best way I could think of to personally help minnows and steemit to grow and succeed.

So that's what I am doing now, helping out new steemians, one minnow at a time!

There are so many tools and tricks that make steemit fun and I want everyone to have the chance to participate! So I will share the little knowledge I do have with any the new minnows that I can, because sharing is caring and minnows need as much help as they can get!

Together we can take steemit to the top, and we all will benefit from that!

What do I want?

If you are someone who has been around a while with steemit, just help out 1 minnow a week, or a month, or even a year without them asking, just throw them a bone. Find a minnow who put some heart into a post and give them just a little bit of your time to help grow steemit and make it a better place.

If you are a new minnow and need some help with anything, don't be afraid to ask me, I will do my best to answer any questions, even if they don't relate to my posts at all! After I help out minnows, all I ask is for them to pay it forward.

Helping other people to succeed feels great, so don't miss out on an awesome opportunity to making someones time easier on steemit with just a little bit of your time. Believe it or not, it will make you feel better about yourself too! We need more kindness in this world and it can start with something as simple as this :)

My first Kilo of silver

moderndayhippie (56) in silver •  last month

I finally did it! I bought my first piece of silver Today!

I'm so excited it's ridiculous lol. I know a kilo bar is kind of a big purchase for a first time silver buyer but I figured I have some catching up to do since i am late to the game! lol. In all honesty I I was planning on buying about 30 different coins but there are not many coin dealers in my area (1 to be exact) so I didn't have the options I would've liked, hence I ended up with a Kilo bar instead of Oz coins, but I actually kind of like it now. :)
My very first piece of silver is a AMPEX Kilo (stack-able) bar. It was not as big as I thought it would be, but it has got some weight to it and it sure feels good to hold in my hand. lol. I can't really explain the feeling but it is very satisfying to say the least.

I have never thought of myself as a precious metals type of guy but since I got involved with cryptos I have learned an incredible amount of knowledge about what money is and how debt based societies (like U.S.A) actually work and it is some scary shit (to say the least), so I want to be prepared in as many ways as I can for anything that might come my way.
I am also somewhat of a prepper (since I was in war and seen how fucked up things can get quickly) and I've come to realize having some tangible assets I can hold in my hand and use for trade is definitely not a bad thing to have around these days just in case shit does hit the fan!

I still find it pretty amazing how it was actually the cryptocurrency world that ended up pushing me towards starting to stack. Kind of funny how things work out like that.
Anyhow, I always see a big support group in the stacker area so it's nice to see that I am not alone. I hope to get to know some of you and maybe learn more about silver and all of its unique aspects.

Thanks for checking out my first stack. Hopefully I will be adding more in the very near future! :)

3 All natural ways to help beat Seasonal Depression

moderndayhippie (56) in health •  

As summer fades to fall and the long days turn into long nights, people tend to get a bit of seasonal depression. It is a natural thing for this to happen, but since we live in a world of pharmaceuticals people think there is a pill to take care of every issue. However, with all of these pills we take we never give our bodies the chance to go through the process of depression naturally and work it out, which I believe is extremely important to learn for future issues of the same nature. If we never grow and learn from these experiences then how can we better ourselves and stop these things from happening time and time again? WE can't! Instead we go to the doctor and have them prescribe some poison (oops, I mean medicine) to take care of the problem quickly and quietly. Unfortunately a quick cover usually causes more severe symptoms down the road, which ultimately perpetuates disruption throughout your entire life.

As a disabled veteran with extreme PTSD, I go through my fair share of depression. For years I went to the V.A. (hospital) where doctors would prescribe me so many drugs medications I didn't even know my name, but that was always a temporary fix that seemed to snowball and get worse every year. Those pills didn't even work for me, they made me feel like a zombie, I didn't feel like myself at all and I didn't want to go through life feeling that way, that's not living, that's barely existing. Because I had no other option at the doctors office besides medication I was basically forced to find alternate holistic ways to deal with my depression on my own. From my experiences over the years I have found 3 powerful all natural ways to help me out when I get that bit depressed and I want to share that knowledge with you.
First thing you have to realize is that this is a process, you will not feel better over night, but if you start utilizing these tools you will be equipped to deal with your depression without a pill, anytime you need and that is an empowering feeling!

Vitamin D

Most people know that vitamin D can help with (seasonal) depression, what they don't know is nearly ***everyone*** is Vitamin D deficient! I know that sounds crazy because it is so easy to step outside and get the 15 mins of sun you need a day, but for some reason most people don't. If you live in a place that doesn't get good sun you can always get supplements to help.

Magnesium

This is a supplement that is extremely helpful for depression. It can also be found in many foods we eat. Magnesium restricts the release of stress hormones and acts as a filter to prevent them entering the brain. One study found that magnesium was as effective as antidepressants in treating depression. Supplemental magnesium provides significant relief from general depression and major depressive disorder fast, often within a week.

Exercise

This one is so under rated it is ridiculous, it is the #1 most recommended way to fight depression! I am not talking about going to the gym and sweating it out for a hour everyday, just take a walk, get your body moving, your blood pumping, your muscles loose. It is really that easy. And if you exercise outside you can get your vitamin D with your exercise all in one!

Chasing a SUNSET

moderndayhippie (56) in photography •  

I was driving home from the store a little bit ago when I realized it was going to be an epic sunset tonight. Unfortunately I only had my crappy galaxy s5 handy which takes basically the worst pictures ever. I snapped a few pictures with it only to confirm that I was right, the pictures were terrible (blurry).
So I raced home, grabbed my NIKON DSLR and ran down the street on foot to the river where there was a clearing in the brush. I managed to make it just in time, I snapped a few pictures just before dusk and they turned out absolutely amazing. I was scared that the picture wasn't going to do the moment justice, but as you can see I was wrong. It is truly stunning. So much so I had to come share it with all of you on steemit. Hope you enjoy this sunset even half as much as I did!

I don't know what it is, but there is truly something amazing about a beautiful sunset like this. As the colors splash across the sky for that brief period of time you almost forget about everything wrong in the world and only see its beauty. It is a powerful moment that fades as fast as the sunset does, so it's nice when you get a chance to catch a good one on camera.

Hope you enjoyed the photos

5 days to freedom! I WILL GO TO TRAVEL ON MY A.V.T.

5 days to freedom!

moderndayhippie (56) in adventure •  

Have you ever wanted to quit your job, sell all of your stuff and travel the world? Well that is exactly what my fiance and I are doing. In 5 short days we will finally be leaving this old life behind to embark on a new journey in life. For the first time in our lives we will truly be free. No jobs, no bills, no homes, nothing but a pocket full of cash and big dreams for the future!

We are leaving our first home behind early Wednesday morning as we start our travels. It seems almost surreal that less than a week my entire life will change. No more talking about how the future is going to be, it will be time to put all those plans to action. All of the goals we have been working towards are being reached and starting to pay off. Our new life is beginning and for the first time in my life I feel truly free!

I'm sad to be leaving this house because I have put tons of work into it, I personally remodeled the whole thing myself from top to bottom so everything is basically brand new. But I guess ultimately that's why I we can afford to do this, because I put all of that effort into fixing this house up by myself, now I get to reap the rewards. I never imagined all of those late nights of work on the house after working 8-10 hr days would one day be the fuel that helps us reach our dreams. Crazy how life works out, you can never guess the future but when you turn around and look at the path from your past, it seems like it was so obvious!?! I guess that's why they say hindsight is 20/20.

Anyways, the house will be put up for sale the day we leave by a realtor, hopefully it will sell fast so we can buy the RV we want and start our travels sooner rather than later. As for now we are going to Arizona to stay with my parents in their winter home. Even though we are not traveling just yet, we couldn't handle another cold winter in Wisconsin so we figured we would go south (where it is warmer) while we waited for the house to sell. We will still start some adventures as soon as we get to Arizona, we have found all kinds of places we want to explore so get ready for some awesome pictures and cool stories! But we probably won't be in the RV for a few more months to be realistic :/ but that should go by fast and that will give us time to properly plan the route we want to take around the country.

We will be visiting a lot of national parks to start. We will go to a lot of hidden places that most people aren't willing to go. We will hike the distances to see the unseen, to get to the mystic waterfalls and secret caves. We really want to see the side of america that people don't take the time to see. We have been making a list of amazing places we have to visit and it is getting way to long to list, so if you are interested you will just have to wait and see ;)

I still can't believe in only 5 days my new life begins! This is the most exciting thing I have ever done in my life.

Whats your WHY?
Dare to DREAM

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives! LIVING IN USA

Today is the first day of the rest of our lives!

moderndayhippie (56) in story • 

We finally made it! Our new lives have started today. Even though we have planned this all, I still sit here in near disbelief that our dreams are actually coming true starting today.
It sometimes felt like we had been working towards this goal forever and it has not always been easy to to say the least. Life always seems to be throwing monkey wrenches into our plans, but we adapt and overcome the situations instead of letting it destroy our dreams.

This last week has been pretty stressful to say the least. Not only getting everything out of the house and cleaning it, but also meeting with realtors to sell it. On top of that we were packing up our entire lives into the bed of the pick-up truck and doing a 27 hour road trip (1800 miles) from Wisconsin to Arizona in a vehicle with over 235,000 miles on it. LOL. But thankfully the universe had our back and we made it through all of that safely so we could start our new lives today!

This was the first day in years that I didn't have to get up first thing in the morning and work (on my plants). It was truly an odd feeling. I kept feeling like I had something I should be doing all morning long. As happy as I am to be done with work, it seems almost weird not to do it anymore. So instead to fill up time I took my pups on a walk to fill up a few hours in the morning when I would usually be working.

It's hard to believe that the day we have been working so hard for has finally arrived. I sometimes felt like all we did was plan and talk. But the truth is "rome wasn't built in a day" and setting up the groundwork to travel for life isn't exactly an easy or a quick process. It takes time and grind, and it's not fun at all. But I kept my dreams in sight and goals written down and I finally pushed through, and here we are!

A view from our back porch in Arizona

So hear I sit on the back porch, sucking up the beautiful scenery, the blue skies and the 65 degree weather. Wondering how amazing this journey will go. I can't even start to imagine all the adventures we are about to embark on, the stories we will have to share and the friends we will make all over the world. It almost seems surreal.

Now that we made it to Arizona, we will be waiting here until our house sells. Once that happens we will buy the RV and then hit the road. We are hoping that we can get started on our travels by mid to late February. While we are here now we will be doing lots of exploring here and in bordering states.

Tomorrow we are going one the off-roading through the mountains on Can-Ams (they are basically dun-buggies), so that should be a blast. I'm planning on trying to stop at some good scenic views so I can capture some amazing photos to share with all of you on steemit. ;)
