During the pandemic, I worked remotely from home. I became depressed from double isolation; professionally and socially. All that changed when one of my fur-iends introduced me to this group. From then on, I became happy again, cheering up others in the group, posting inspirational stuff.I guess you can say at work I am often like a "cheerleader;" offering support, motivation, an ear to listen, arms to offer hugs, and or a shoulder to lean on. That's just how I role.
Aside from working full-time in one profession, I work part-time as a massage therapist. I also participate in charity events, and volunteer at conventions. In my spare time, I hike, camp, horse -back ride, dance, swim, and participate in other outdoor activities.

Helping others and being able to be the positive change in people's life is something that I'm very passionate about, but also to bring a smile to peoples face.IRL I work as a "tech wizard " in the IT industry but I'm also a fan of gaming (both old and new school games appeal to me very much haha)."The world is unforgiving enough as it is. The least we can do is find ways to forgive each other and ourselves. " (Bojack Horseman)

Meow joined Furry Healing in search for like minded people that love supporting each other. I came across this group by accident. But it's what I've been looking for, these people are amazing.We all have our struggles and we come together to help one another get through them. Everyone is so kind hearted and supportive of each other.
It's a great feeling knowing there's a place where you can feel safe and accepted no matter who or what you are.

I came to the Furry Healing telegram channel thanks to a friend showing it to me and by accident noticed that there also were a chat group. I was asked if I’d be interested in joining the Content Creators.At the moment I study to become a teacher and work part time as an interviewer doing marketing research for the local public transportation company. On my spare time I like to do different crafts like crochet and drawing but also play video games like Pokémon.
