@Sebastix generously chatted to me and encouraged me to get started on Nostr at the Bitcoin Amsterdam conference with a #introduction post.
And WOW thank you Nostr for giving me such a WARM Welcome… with Hearts, Comments and Zaps.
The welcome made me feel like I’m in a room with friends and allies.
I was particularly inspired by @Tanja bubbling enthusiasm about making Nostr work and her passion and purpose to “get it out to the world”.
I was so BUZZED by Nostr as I walked around the Amsterdam streets after the conference…
…(it felt reminiscent of working in San Francisco in ’98 and ’99 when everyone was so amped about the internet)…
… that I made a commitment to myself to commit to Nostr wholeheartedly.
And then…. Left Amsterdam… Returned home to my husband and kids… and work…
And now it is almost 2 weeks later and what happened to my Nostr passion?
F%^k, I hate it when life gets in the way of me acting on my highest excitement!
The passion is still here. I promise.
And I have promised myself I’ll do 20 minutes a day on Nostr, to post, connect and also figure out how to get my Guided Meditations on here as a first start.
So here’s my #AskNostr I have Free Guided Meditations (for Manifesting + Money + Magic) that are in a regular rhythm of being posted to YouTube and Podcast Channels every week. And I’d love to post them here too.
1. How? I see someone posting things with Fountain…. What is Fountain? Is that how I can make it work?
2. Any other ideas for the Meditations - please let me know.
3. Any other tips and tricks about Nostr - would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks

Since 2005 I've coached, taught and supported conscious women about Manifesting + Money + Magic. Since 2021 a Bitcoin Aficinado
Hey there 👋 I'm Donna, a newbie to Nostr.
I'm super curious about Nostr because since 2005 I've been teaching women worldwide about Manifesting + Money + Magic.
So I'm an educator/ teacher/ coach/ guide and a content creator with the pain of having to do the "Algorithm Monkey Dance" on Social Media to reach my students and followers.
Which in 2018, I basically stopped doing because it was exhausting and felt inauthentic. And I focused 99% of my energy on my email database because "I own those connections".
Although many of the communities connected to my online programs still run on Facebook.
And so the "Nostr use case" made quick and easy sense to me. And the added incentive of Sats through Zaps... yipppeeee!
Except, of course... my students, followers and audience are not on Nostr yet.
Ah... the Catch 22... the Chicken and Egg of Nostr.
So here I am, ready to contribute anyway and put my content up here anyway... because this feels like the right place to be building. (And because I lurve being a pioneer)...
And I'll probably need help... so would love your feedback and help please.
And also suggestions on the best and easiest way to contribute. Thanks!
This post was inspired by who was so welcoming and super helpful at Bitcoin Amsterdam.
