Hello everyone! I am brand new to the steemosphere so here goes my attempt at an introductory post. Wish me luck!
My name is Amanda, I am a (nearly) 40 year old happily married mother of two. I live in beautiful sunny Florida and one my favorite things to do is work outside with my plants. I stick to growing my favorites, which are any plants that are hard to kill. That way I feel like an expert gardener. ')
I am not big on social media, I do not have an instagram or facebook account. So I am not used to taking pics of myself and posting them online. I thought I would post a pic of the view from my back porch for my introductory photo. As you can probably tell I am not that great at taking photos because the post-it note covered some of the prettiest parts of the view.
One thing I feel you should know about me is that I am bipolar. The real deal. I feel it is so very important to lift the veil on mental health issues and remove the stigma attached. One way for me to do so is to write about my experiences, good and bad, to give people a chance to understand my perspective. I look forward to telling you my story.
Well I think that's it for tonight. I am so excited to be a part of the steemit community and I can't wait to see what's in store!
