Today, Feb. 10, 2024, makes 6 years on the block chain. WOW!
I am so amazed that it has been so long. I found a great hobby and community.
Communities
Speaking of community, this past year posted in the @HiveGarden, 
Some may have noticed that I am posting about mostly travel and art. I have found over the years that these are my favorite topics! Occasionally, I will post about something interesting... like later this month I am going to post about my ride in a self driving car!
I have been so fortunate to travel to great places in 2023.
Sedona, Arizona and Atlanta, Georgia and Tennessee

Collections
I also made a few collections in @curatedcollections this year.
Not surprising three were of places. I do enjoy traveling and sharing my experiences with others. Collections are also a great way to bring together similar posts about a topic in one place. For my Boston collect there are 5 different authors.

|---|---|---|
| Great places to visit in Arizona | Places to visit in Boston | New York City |
I also made a collection of restaurant reviews. I need to add more in 2024.
In 2023 the theme for ArtTalk was Museums. That was such a great topic, there are so many great museums all over the world!

Two new topics in 2023
Stained glass making and Habitat for Humanity.
Both were amazing experiences where I pushed myself and learned so much!
Videos
I also add more videos to my posts this year. Here are a few.

Being back in school requires a lot of time and energy. I want to keep my connection to Hive so my goal for this year is to post once a week.
I enjoy getting on Hive and seeing how my friends around the world are doing.
