Hello PeakD 👋
Let me introduce myself! My name is Haley and I'm a 31yr old Canadian, homeschooling, gamer Mom. My son, Dex, is 9 years young and my baby daddy, Derick is the love of my life 🌹 If you follow on Twitch, you'll be seeing them around! I'm very blessed with this amazing little family. Some people are so poor, they only have money..
I retired from my Government job in November 2021 due to vaccine mandates that were against my values and I'm currently jobless. It's been such a great breath of fresh air to be out of the Government. I started working there as a 16 year old student and promised myself very early on to retire by 30 - but I never could have guessed that it would happen the way it did! More about that in another blog post. Leaving the Government is what led me to start streaming on Twitch - and what a blast that has been! I started playing Gods Unchained in September 2021 and before that I played Hearthstone (mainly Mage) for a couple years. I play mostly Nature and Death in Gods Unchained because it is what I enjoy the most! My goal on twitch is to have fun gaming and interacting with the community while spreading good vibes! If I can also earn money from that, it would literally be a dream come true!!
PeakD peaked my interest 😏 because I was looking for an alternative to Instagram and saw that same of my fellow GU players had PeakD accounts (shout-out to @Wispsi and @jandean aka B4ller1na!). I love that it is decentralized and that you can get rewards from content you post and also reward others for their content! It's been years that I've been wanting to get away from Facebook and IG and am so glad to have finally made the switch! So I'll be sharing content here instead but keeping my Gamer_Hales IG open to share when I'm going live on Twitch.
More about my background, I grew up in the country and spent a lot of time in the woods so naturally, that is my happy place. Our household was bilingual (my Mother is English and my Father is French) but we spoke more in English. I have an older step-sister who isn't a part of my life today - a choice I made to protect myself and my little family. When I was 14 I fell in love with a man who she introduced me to; he was 6 years older than me. That relationship lasted 7 years and caused me a lot of pain. I've been through hell and back and that is what led me to become who I am today. I am grateful for living through those hard times while very young. Sometimes we need to go to our deepest, darkest depths in order to reach our brightest and highest highs. Now, I do not fear death; I fear not living while alive. Now, I trust myself, my intuition and my abilities. I know in my bones that I can get through anything! Also, I learnt the power of our mind and how to consciously create the life I desire.
I'm passionate about modelling for fun, connecting with nature, interior design, health and wellness, astrology, crypto and gaming on Twitch. Homeschooling my son is my top priority during the school year. Since we started in 2020, it's made me realize how quickly time goes by and I am so glad that we're all at home together. We love the slower pace and the freedom to do things on our own terms. Our style is Unschooling - if you're a parent, I highly recommend looking into this. Let me know if you have any questions!
That is all for this intro post, folks. Thank you for your interest - I look forward to connecting here on PeakD and to sharing more in future. See you around!
Cheers,
-Haley
If you like Gods Unchained and Hearthstone, have you heard of Spliterlands? its a game native to the HIVE blockchain. https://splinterlands.com/ we also have a vast community of streamers on splinterlands.tv
Hope you enjoy your time here on Hive, welcome to the platform. :)
I haven't tried it! Honestly I'd rather focus on GU right now but I will keep Splinterlands in mind when I want to play a new game. Thank you for the warm welcome! :)
You'll find many awesome people here! :)
A huge HELLO and WELCOME to Hive!! It's lovely to meet another mum with similar interests and priorities. Although I'm over a decade older, so my babies are all big now. 😔 It was actually my youngest who coaxed me back to gaming. I hadn't played for years, because I lose too much time with it and don't get other stuff done, but it's our mother daughter time these days, unless it's Splinterlands, which she isn't interested in (I see Holoz0r has already recommended it).
For any homeschooling/unschooling content, feel free to visit us at the HomeEdders community.
Nice to e-meet you! Thank you so much for the warm greeting. I think it was the same for me before but like you said it can be special time together with the kids and there are so many benefits to playing games! With Hearthstone and Gods Unchained, i've become more strategic in thinking which was never my strong suit. I will certainly check out the HomeEdders Community. <3
I see Gods Unchained mentioned quite a bit here. There are some communities too. Looks like the Gods on Chain one is the main one. It's well moderated and supported.
Ok thanks! 😊
Welcome! Hope you enjoy GU. The community is arguably the best part, but the game is improving, too 😊
Thank you and yes, the community is gold! <3
