Welcome to Steemit!
It is a great place to meet people, connect, support and be supported in more ways than one.
I saw that you have animals, if you blog about them there are tags and sometimes contests going on. One of them being #dogsofsteemit. There is also #dogphotograhpy and #caturday amongst a few others. Check them out.
Reading what you have wrote here, it seems like you have many interesting things to right about. You will do great here ^_^
