Hi everyone. I'm Kara and I'm very new here on the Hive. Thanks to @shadowspub and Alessandra in the Creative Work Hour community for urging me to take this leap. I'm a newly minted small business owner running my own consulting and creative problem solving business - Monarch Strategies LLC. I am also working on launching my first personal online course - Charting Your Course. The course will be a cohort based experience focused on defining success and building a toolset for enhancing your time, treasure, and talent to reach your definition of success. I plan to launch in May 2022.
My Writing History
I've been blogging for over a decade. I love writing and am very comfortable sharing in public in this way. In the last year or two, I've also been working on YouTube and other video platforms. I primarily write today on Medium and do maintain a personal website at https://www.iwannabemewhenigrowup.com.
Some other interesting facts about me
I am a dog mom to a miniature double doodle (combo of goldendoodle/labradoodle) named Kona. Kona is the Chief PAW (Chief of Peace and Wellness) with Monarch Strategies LLC. He keeps me moving. Together we do hospice volunteer pet enrichment visits as we work towards becoming a fully registered therapy team so we can participate in work together at our local library and schools as well as children's hospitals and other organizations that work specifically with one therapy organization in our hometown.
I'm deeply interested in a LOT of things. I love cooking, traveling, dogs, personal knowledge management, journaling, reading, and much, much more. I really look forward to learning and continuing to grow here on the Hive.
Hey Kara! Nice to meet you & thanks for swinging by my post. Your handle & profile pic got my attention, which is why I'm now swinging by yours, only to find you're friends with @shadowspub - wicked cool! Glad you made the leap, and with your interests, you're definitely going to find lots of ways to grow on Hive.
I see my friend (and fellow Love Sniper team member) @fionasfavourites already dropped some newbie info, and I'm sure you're feeling pretty overwhelmed with all of this blockchain stuff (I've been here since September 2017 and I still get confused...lol), so I won't drop a bunch of additional resources (especially as I'm sure Shadows has all of that covered). However, if you ever have any questions, please feel free to tag me & I'll do my best to help you find the answer!
Hi Traci - thanks so much for your kindness and welcoming me to the Blockchain. There is absolutely so much to learn and I'm finding it all overwhelming - you're quite right. I will absolutely hit you up if I have questions. Shadows has been great and I'm getting settled into a couple of discord servers that seem to be valuable in helping newbies like me too. I do have one questions off the bat - I think communities are and important part of hive. What are your favorite communities and why?
Welcome to the Hive community @iwannabeme!
We sincerely hope you find everything you are looking for and have found a new home here.
Seven suggestions to consider:
I found you because @brittandjosie and @jamerussell from @heyhaveyamet presented and promoted your publication to get more exposure and help you grow faster.

Very nice introduction @iwannabeme .. I love the logo you've chosen for your course, clean, simple with that touch of colour with the monarch butterfly. You may want to use it for your account avatar here?
Great to see you jump right in and start posting.
Great tip - didn't even think about an avatar until you said that. You're always teaching!
