Hi everyone! My name is Kimberly, I am from a small town in the coalfields of Kentucky. Growing up in the mountains I developed a love for nature by exploring the natural word that was my backyard. I'm an artist, and nature is my greatest inspiration. 
I joined Steemit because I feel that it will be a good place to express myself, and to share the things that I am passionate about. It took me awhile to decide to write my first post because I'm new and I'm not sure how this site works. But, in my experience, I found the "learn as you go" method is the best place to start.
I look forward to sharing my journey and getting to know this community.
Hi,
This is a lovely introductory post, Thank you for taking the time to write the post and say hello to the community!
I am here to help!
I would encourage you to keep posting and comment on others users content to help make a name for yourself and to get the most out of the platform!
Feel free to comment on my content and I'll up vote your comments! Drop me a follow so you can comment a lot and get a lot of my upvotes!
I have upvoted your post!
@charitycurator :)
Kimberly you're so much welcome to Steemit, and I can assure you that you've made the right choice!
You're so right, learn as you go is certainly one of the best method of learning.
I think this post by @katrina-ariel on tricks for top quality posts will really help you out on your journey here.
Once again, you're welcome!
Happy New year!
Warm regards.
Thank you! And Happy New Year to you too!
Well, thanks for the mention, @emmysteven!
Welcome to the Steem blockchain, Kimberly. It took me about a month to feel like I really understood everything, but I just learned a little bit more each day and really enjoyed meeting new friends and finding such interesting posts! Now this place feels like home, and I feel like I've gained a new family—people who truly care and have become a joyful part of my life. I've been to meetups in TN, GA, and Poland to meet them in person, too! I've also found a place where I can share my creativity and people actually listen to my music and read my words. I've never found another social media platform this responsive to my efforts of networking and sharing what I love.
There are a ton of communities on Discord, which is another world of new stuff to learn, but there are super friendly people willing to help you figure it out. PYPT is tomorrow in the Ramble, and is a great place to meet new friends and get people to check out your posts. Here's a post about the last PYPT, so you can see what it's about: https://steemit.com/pypt/@shadowspub/pimp-your-post-thursday-dec-27th-recordings
I'm a mountain girl as well, love nature. I can definitely relate to you on that note. ;) Feel free to reach out if you have questions. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Welcome to Steem! So excited to meet another outdoors person! Scott and I do a lot of traveling in the US because we want to visit every county, all 3,144 of them. We have barely visited Kentucky, but we have been to a few of your counties.
You are going to find some amazing blogs and dtubes about travel here and I am sure you will be adding all of yours to the mix. We really look forward to meeting you. Scott and I wanted to help you out by getting you some tips and tricks we learned over the past few months as new Steemians. You can view that post HERE

Welcome to the platform!
Yes, it's a bit of a learning curve, but getting stuck in (and joining some Discord servers) are key to getting there. Give it a few months to really get going - it's all investment for a long time, but crypto (and the stock market) are bound to go back up again.
This place is wonderful for creatives of all types, compulsive sharers and people who just love to meet others from all walks of life and all parts of the world! I hope you enjoy yourself here.
I found you today because @stever82 featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation contest. Keep up the great work!
Hey @artandnature welcome to steemit
Looks like you getting some major attention right off the bat, so lucky took me ages. Hope to see you continue to grow on steemt and good luck with your blog
Welcome to SteemIt, @artandnature! I hope you find happiness in this site... just be careful not to start any arguments with some of the big players in here. They don't like being contradicted. I learned that the hard way and from that day, I never went to the Trending page again. :-P
PS: I've found your post because @stever82 featured you in his entry for the Pay It Forward Contest
Welcome artist, enjoy and express yourself
