If you're an older Hivean who is young at heart or an old soul in a young body, then you might like this post. But really, this post is for you, my new friends in the Silver Bloggers group.
Our mutual friend, Fiona, who you know as 
Am I really old enough to join a "Silver" bloggers community??? 馃し馃し馃し
Well, I read your pinned posts and... ahem, it seems I am!
It's funny because I had already seen several awesome people who I admire and appreciate mention Silver Bloggers over the last few months as I learn to navigate my way around this whole blockchain thing. But I assumed I was too young.
Noooooooo. Surely I'm too young???
Who am I kidding? I'm 40. And a half. Not that anyone's counting months, right?
But it's strange because I don't feel like I'm 40.
I talk about young people stuff, like changing the world 馃檶
And I do young people things, like dancing in my kitchen 馃拑
And my favourite people to hang out with are toddlers because they haven't been taught to "be polite" and "not stare at people" (yet).
But as I entered 2022 and approach my 4th full month on Hive I knew it was time for me to work out which communities are a good match for me instead of being such a 'drive by blogger'.
So while I have no real idea if Silver Bloggers is a natural match for me, I figure there's only one way to find out. And that's to come and play with you all 馃榾
So, hi!
I'm consciouscat, also known as Caroline.
I really like:
running in the bush, climbing things (actual, physical things, not career ladders), challenging the status quo, questioning my own beliefs about how the world works and pondering what's possible while I actively attempt to create a better world (along with everyone else working towards this aim) 馃審馃槏馃檹
I'm really good at:
communicating complicated ideas simply, writing epic stories about adventures I've been on, being present with people who are processing something really challenging ("holding space") and loving on people 馃挍馃А鉂わ笍
I'm really bad at:
writing brief posts, being efficient and being anywhere near as funny as my partner, Brad 馃槃馃槄馃ぃ
I really love learning about:
Human Design (and other personality profiling tools), EFT tapping (and other psychological tools that help us to change limiting beliefs about ourselves and resolve trauma), and gut health & the gut microbiome (mostly because I've had oodles of food/health/gut challenges!) 馃崒馃崜馃崋
And I know I really need to learn about:
finance, investing, crypto... and Spanish (I'm sure I need to learn Spanish. I've been dreaming about it for years!)
That's enough about me for this post (and that's definitely enough GIFs for one... year 馃ぃ). I look forward to getting to know this community and see how ya'll operate. (I'm not from the U.S. I just like the word "ya'll"; it's so useful!).
And if you're an older Hivean who is young at heart or you're an old soul in a young body, then you might like to check out the Silver Bloggers Community. I'm sure they'd love to have you, even if you never put a single GIF in a single blog post, ever 馃槈
Conscious Cat, over and out!
