RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
Hey, @janton,
Sorry to pause the lovely convo flow. I've been unsuccessfully trying to spend less time on Steemit. Have to try harder. ;)
what is life like in Jamaica? ... what is life like in Jamaica?
Pretty much like everywhere else. A lot of crap going on but a beautiful place to live. We call it 'The Rock' and it's where I was born and have lived most of my life. No matter where I live, I'll probably always have a base and spend at least a 3-8 weeks here every year.
... do you work outside the home to make money?
I used to. Left my last job in 1987 and promised myself I'd never work for anyone but myself after that. Done a number of things for $$. Business consultancy mostly and melding that with spirituality/consciousness development... facilitating workshops, energy healing sessions.... those have been the staples since '87.
In between, art work... sold paintings, especially prints in resort hotels and tourist shops... network marketing, on and off for a couple decades, offline then online. Probably worst biz decision I've ever made was to leave Herbalife.
Shifted everything online in 2004. Ran a membership site for a few years, doing group guided meditations and coaching. Then got in to writing and publishing a few series... non-fic and fiction after my Dad passed in 2014. Everything stopped when my sister passed Thanksgiving Day, 2016. Sick most of last year and slowly got back online late last year, early this year.
Steemit early February. Helped get me consistent with content creation again and am now about to organize brand new membership and coaching on something I've been doing since 1990 but never shared much.
By now you MUST be sorry you asked. ;)
How about you, kind Sir?
howdy back @angelacs! so good to hear from you..no I'm thrilled that you gave me so much information but that brings up so many new questions!
So you don't live in Jamaica now? if not, where and why did you move?
also, you said you were trying to not be on steemit so much which is shocking because most people say that they are trying to be on Steemit MORE! but you think it's not a good investment of your time right now?
then you mentioned network marketing and Herbalife, why did you get out and why was it a terrible decision?
okay I'll stop now, you just sound like you have so many interesting things going on, don't worry if it takes awhile to get back to me, just make sure you do sometime! lol
I'm off to bed now, @janton, but I will get back to you tomorrow... or later.. what time is it? ;)
YOU are an ace at avoiding questions, I see, despite my subtle ladylike prompting.
Come on. You have to share some juicy details too. You may be a bit of a hermit now like myself but I know you've been up to lotzzz of stuff. So give some of it up. That's only fair, right?
btw start there, with something fairly easy.. at the hermit thing. Is that just on Steemit or real life too? How long? Why? It seems I have to become a bit of the interrogator now.
Peeps who know me well would advise you to cough up what you want now, cross fingers and toes and pray, rather than let me ask later. They'd whisper I can ask endlessly deeper and deeper questions. ;)
