Excited to be on Steemit! 

For my first post I’d thought I’d keep it generic and do my ‘introduce yourself’ post. 

First thing about me, my favourite number is 10 so I thought I’d share 10 things about me to introduce myself - 

1) My background is Fijian & Australian. This question has to be the most asked question that I’ve been asked throughout my life so I thought I’d get that one out of the way front and centre. 

2) I am obsessed with dogs - thus the screen name. 

3) Besides dogs I love growth and personal development, as such I’m not particularly good at small talk and I tend to enjoy in-depth conversations about usually around health, wealth, travle and happiness. I love anything to do with how to improve, reprogramming your mind, positive habit formations. On that note I also support Albert Einstein’s notion of compound interest as the 8th wonder of the world, and its power to multiply not only finances but also an individual's investment in their health and relationships (both with themselves and others). 

4) About 3 years ago my life was completely different, and so were my priorities. My biggest priorities was (1) How many clothes I could buy (2) How many nights a week I could go drinking (3) Hoping people liked me. Over the past three years I’ve quit drinking and reduced my friendship circle, I like to choose quality over quantity. I also think for me personally, quitting drinking for an extended period of time / in general was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. 

5) Within those three years I have also found out that I was gluten and dairy intolerant, and that my liver was extremely unhealthy due to the large amounts of alcohol I used to consume.  Over those three years I have made a commitment to making healthier food choices (dairy & gluten free) and to drinking at least 1 gallon of water per day. Note - My favourite meal still is and always will be pizza, usually Hawaiian & Garlic (however now it’s gluten free - and I just deal with the dairy bloating or get notzarella).

6) At present, my favourite book is The Alchemist - Paulo Quelo. My second favourite is ‘L’art de la Simplite, How To Live More With Less’ - Domonique Loreau.

7) I love running - I go for a run every morning and this is my version of meditation. 

8) I believe in being passionately curious - I'm always up to learn something new no matter how weird, strange or wonderful it is! 

9) My favourite colors are black and blue - black because I love wearing black it is the easiest colour to wear to look both well dressed but also be lazy in doing so, I also love blue particularly the light blue after a wave breaks.

10) I have 6 sisters and two brothers, they are all my half / step siblings and none of them share both the same mother & father as me. 

I’m going to try out both Steem posts & D-tube.

Stay tuned!

EDIT: I have removed the photo of myself that was originally on this post as I would like to remain anonymous - the photo was uploaded to highlight that I am not a robot / I am excited to be on this platform for the long term and not a quick overnight thing, thank you for understanding. XXX
