Welcome to steemit @maiteclement! I love your #introduceyourself post! I am retired now to Mexico, but spent years teaching high school in Canada and really enjoyed it!! I also have the same passion about cleaning up our oceans...it's terrible to see the pollution, isn't it??
I belong to several groups here who welcome, support, and mentor new people like yourself. They each have a Discord channel as well, which if you don't know, is another place that we connect, chat, share ideas, contest, problems...whatever you need actually. The groups are @newbieresteemday, @greetersguild, @asapers and @helpie. We overlap a bit, but that's a good thing because you can get to know so many like-minded people who are really interested in selfless, community spirit. We purposefully go looking for new people because truthfully, it can all get a little overwhelming when you first start out ;)
If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I'm also going to come back here as @newbieresteemday and resteem your post in the hopes of giving you more exposure. Please consider joining these groups; they'd all love to have you :)
Hello @lynncoyle1 !
Thanks for your lovely comment!
I am going to check out your groups later, but I am sure they can help me! You are right that it's quite a bit overwhelming! But I like it, so I am excited to learn more about it.
Have a wonderful day 😊
You are most welcome! Let me know if I can help you out ;)
By the way, my dad's family is all from Belgium too;) Hey @simplymike, check it out...another Belgian girl! @maiteclement, she will be a wonderful help for you as well !!
Thanks @lynncoyle, for showing me this one ;0)
You are welcome!!
