@goldendawne's Personal Mentoring Statement For the Homesteadersonline Community

Now some of you followers may see this as an odd posting, but bare with me... this is geared towards the homesteadersonline community that I belong to here on steemit and on Discord; which I consider my home-base as it is what brought me to steemit months ago.

Think of it as my resume... as my portfolio.. as who I am to the homesteading community.

Who am I

I am in the Midwest of the USA (eastern time zone-EST), am a stay-at-home-wife and have committed myself 100% to steemit; as I am making this (steemit) my career. But not just a career, but a place to write, blog and earn some money towards mine and my husband's retirement.

While I have NOT worked outside the home in a few years, in the past I have been an administrative assistant, newspaper reporter and staff writer, have copy editing experience, a degree in journalism and was a ghost writer and freelance writer for many years.

My Experience On Steemit, Projects & Goals

I joined steemit in mid-July 2017, and have a reputation of just hovering under 59 currently.
I am a moderator for the homesteadersonline Discord group
I am the un official meet and greet ambassador for the same group.
I am a @fulltimegeek Steward of Gondor; which means he has delegated 5k SP (steem power) to me to be his “spokesperson” and find new talent among the steemians.
I am the sole writer of a newsletter at @qurator ( which has about 500 members) and write posts every morning, as well as collaborate to approve incoming members for the group/curator.
I belong to nine Discord groups; while I am active in three every day, I do venture into the others for updates.
I have a weekly recognition post where I recognize fellow homesteaders called HOLLER OUT Tuesday
I just started doing a weekly update for the community with new contests and all other pertinent topics
With the assistance of @beatitudes8, we have a weekly seed exchange that happens every Monday. Giveaways and things for other homesteaders. We hope to grow this more and expand bigger in Spring 2018.
I have decent knowledge of formatting on steemit, as well as other platforms
Every week I have been EMBRACING a new homesteading member and offering 100% UPvotes every day for a week.
I just completed a Secret Santa giveaway and have a current one for the New Year where I just spread the joy and pay-it-forward to other homesteaders with consistent and good quality posts.

Things I am Able To Offer...

Hands On

I am available from 5am EST (USA) until 3pm EST then again periodically throughout the evening hours. Weekends may be a little less but I am still connected on every device.
I have tremendous UPvoting SP currently due to the delegation from @fulltimegeek
I am a Resteem Queen!
I comment like there's no tomorrow and will carry on open-ended conversations daily
I am on Discord about 10-12 hours a day Monday-Friday, while it can be hit or miss on the weekends, but I do check in often.

Behind The Scenes

Assistance with formatting posts and sourcing out images properly
Guidance on writing
Proofreading if so desired
Websites connected to steemit that show user's information, status, voting power, etc

My interests are:

Gardening
Recipes and cooking/baking
DIY & crafts
Growing herbs and ways to use (ie, infused oils, tinctures)
Essential oils and uses (ie. homemade soap, salves, health and beauty items)
Healthier living
Reading, writing, books
Simple homestead chores and tasks
Learning new skills (ie. sewing, building container boxes for garden- small tools)

Other Things To Keep In Mind

I can work with anyone, preferably in the a time zone that would be consistent with mine, or if someone keeps unusual hours that would be parallel to mine.

I post anywhere from 1-4 times a day; depending on what is happening and how crazy my life is at the moment.
