Nice to Meet You
"I'm a hip old granny who can hip hop, bee bop, dance till you drop, yo yo, make a wicked cup of cocoa."
That quote from the movie Mrs. Doubtfire (played by Robin Williams in 1993) always pops in my head when I'm asked to introduce myself.
Hey everyone! I'm new to the platform and I'm going to take this opportunity to give you a little peek at who I am (though my husband says it's a lot easier to tell you who I'm NOT.. much shorter list 😉 )
First off, AmiraLynn is my nom de plume. I've penned this signature since I started pouring emo poetry and interesting quotes onto blank pages at 12. I'm sure my real name will creep out of the woodworks sooner or later, but for now, I create as AmiraLynn.
One thing you'll find about my posts is that they will cover any number of topics, from childcare to music to art to advertising.
This is mostly because there no one way to describe who I am and what I do.
I have lived my life like water running down a mountain. Any time I hit an obstacle to make me turn back or stand still, I either keeping pushing and erode through with time or find a way around it. Combined with my drive to always expand my life by saying YES! to opportunities, I've lived a full life with a multitude of experiences and I'm only halfway there.
To kick it off, I'm a proud mom of 4, surrogate mom of 30+, and loving wife.
There is an on-going joke among my family and friends that I have my main job, my other job, my other other job, and then there's my other other other job that I do a few times a month. In fact I've said yes to so many opportunities, I don't even know how much experience I've gathered until I list it out like this... (the ones in bold are my current ventures 😊)
Security - special events/convention, hotel, concert
Services - janitorial
Medical - pharmacy, nursing, pediatrics
Education/child care - preschool, daycare, curriculum building, parenting coach, martial arts coach, teacher
Sales - advertising, copy writing, network marketing, social media marketing/managing
Administration - payroll, clerk, office supervisor, office manager, customer service, program director, small business owner, client engagement manager
Technology - graphic artist, graphic designer, website design,
Music/Art - professional bassist and vocalist, weekend podcaster, painter,
Not to mention all the different hobbies I've picked up throughout the years... 😂
Of course I always get asked the inevitable questions: how do you do it all?
Truth?
If I really thought about everything I do all at one time, I could easily get overwhelmed. So I take it one step at a time.
The other trick is I absolutely love everything I'm doing. So in all honesty, it never feels like work. Sure sometimes it gets stressful, but I never dread having to go to work.
A while back I decided that I don't want to waste my time doing something I hate just because it pays well, or satisfies a short-term checklist. I only get 86,400 seconds in a day. I'm not wasting a single one.
So, 🥂 here's to a mini sneak peek of who I am and I'm looking forward to sharing a lot more with you as I get into the swing of things :)
Much love,
AmiraLynn

Well, well, well, look what
thecatEye dragged in. Pleasure to be met, @amiralynn. Heck of an intro you got here, good lookin out, @boosta!Don’t worry about the robot responses—they go away after awhile. Did I already say heck of intro? You’re gonna fit right in this blockchain, it takes awhile, but you’re persistent, I don’t think you’ll get discouraged if things take patience before they begin to go your way. Man, I flopped articles one after the other for like 6 months at least when I started.
Please give that old (not age wise, but 2008 wise) apprentice of mine knuckles, tell him I said I love him and Ya’all got a gorgeous family—congratulations! Your kids are lucky to have you. All frikkin four of’em got dang—four?! One more and you have a starting line-up on the basketball court.
Don’t mind me, I ramble like this all the time.
Don’t worry about looking into these right away, but they’re here now for your reference.
Https://steemworld.org/@amiralynn that’s your steemworld account (there’s several different fronts called dapps, “Decentralized application”), you’ll want to familiarize yourself with it at some point, navigate it, take your time of course, but it’s my go-to for everything like voting percentage, followers, mentions, it’s a really good front. 👍🏿
Https://Steempeak.com/@amiralynn is your steempeak account, another front on the steem blockchain—whatever reason like Chinese now will be clear before too long. Blockchain time is I swear like 6:1.
That @esteemapp response to you, though, I recommend downloading that app, it’s right here in the App Store. I do 100% of my posting on that app and I know many people who only use that app for everything.
Https://steemitwallet.com/@amiralynn is your wallet. Your account generates steem daily and pays every seven days in your wallet. You can always drop me a line if you get confused. Unlike the rest of this platform, you actually have my email. Like, my e-mail/e-mail, not just my online one I give to virtual strangers. 😉 Ok, I think I’ve sent your head spinning fast enough for now, oh yeah, you can view anyone’s information by changing @amiralynn to whoever, @dandays for example, everything I’ve listed is public ledger.
Great profile pic! 👍🏿 Did I say one more thing yet? “One more thing.” In these beginning stages, use all of your tag options or else nobody will see your articles because nobody knows what to look for. Steemit allows 7, esteemapp allows 7, steempeak allows 10, use them all.
Consistent tags to use to get you started that pretty much cover a lot of bases would be #steem, #steemit, #blog, #writing. If you click Steemit at the top of this page, scroll the left dial to “all content” and the choose any of the tags from the dial on the right side. It’ll help your articles be seen.
And don’t ever leave responses this long—you’re likely to put the author to sleep.
Hey @dandays! You found me! Thanks for the links and the advice. I will definitely keep it all in mind when I'm posting and getting this ball going. I've got a lot of ideas, so it's just a matter of getting them to the right spots I suppose 😜
Knuckles back to you from your apprentice 🤛 I've been keeping him updated of all your adventures. Love the pictures and stories! Will definitely keep our eye on you.
Yep, 4 kiddos! Last time you saw us we were only halfway there haha They keep me busy and on my toes. But I'm lucky to have them 😊
