Intro from USAF retiree, now civilian, living in Japan

Hello fellow Steemers! I'm Teresa, user name LovingItInJapan

I'm so excited to be here. I discovered SteemIt from Jeff Berwick's videos so checked it out and just thought "WOW"...this is great! I hope to share some articles about my travels, which were many during my 25 years with the US Air Force, and then continue with my experiences while living on an Air Force base in Japan, this time as a civilian! I've been very slow at learning the language, but plan to ramp up my efforts this summer.

When I retired from the military, we owned a 14.5 acre farm in Alabama where we raised milk goats and chickens, I made goats milk soap and other body care products and thought I'd start doing that full time, while home schooling my 5 year old. But events happened (5 year old didn't want to be home schooled) that led me to go back to work for the Air Force as a civilian while still living on the farm. However, a few years later, my husband of 14 years decided that Florida was his "happy place" and that I'd never leave the farm...which he had grown to hate. So we put in the paperwork for a mutual consent divorce and I saw the job for Japan come up on the USAJobs site. I decided right then that I wasn't done with adventures, and had never been to Japan, so why not? Well, I GOT the JOB! I still own the farm in Alabama and have caretakers on it now, I love Harleys, and my #1 one motto is "Life is a Journey, not a destination".

So here I am in Japan with my now teenage daughter, Bri, and I'm just starting to learn about cryptocurrencies which is opening up a whole new world for me. Thank you for letting me be part of this "Steemy" society!!
