Hello @deannecarter! Welcome to the Hive blockchain. I found you through the Hey Have You Met initiative of @jamerussell and @brittandjosie that they share in The Terminal Discord server. It is a great place to find assistance when you are new to the blockchain if you need it.

For someone who has many interests like yours (writing, poetry, mentoring, hairstyling, and community building), this is a good place for that. We have several communities of varying topics and interests. Engagement is the key here, so get to know the communities and people. Take your time, don't rush, and most of all, enjoy! Best wishes.
