Wow! Thank you so much for sharing that with me. I am very honored that you considered me an example. I’m glad we still ran into each other from time to time 😉. I think because I’m a veteran it makes it that much harder to walk away from here. Being here since the beginning through everything is a special feeling and place I’ll forever hold.

There were a few years I remember being on here like everyday and all day (in between house duties) and giving it my all. Those were the times I decided to take advantage of using the skills I gained to take on a newbie initiative where I would make posts all about Hive ethics. During this time I was making extra efforts to do a lot of commenting as well. So I think with finding a niche I enjoyed (teaching about Hive) on top of running a community really helped put me in view of more people. I didn’t start out thinking I would be leading anything here lol, but turns out I was able to use what I was passionate about to reach people and make an impact. There was so much more I wanted to do but I had to cut back my time on the platform and things slowed down for me.

From what I see, you also have an influence here and a nice following. I also see that you run your own community now. So cool!!

I truly appreciate you leaving me this comment. I will surely miss being here, there’s no doubt about that.

Thanks again ~ ❤️
