“He who masters the power formed by a group of people working together has within his grasp one of the greatest powers known to man.” ― idowu koyenikan

In the “positive” spirit of the post I wrote yesterday, I thought I would put into words, my intentions moving forward. I have been in this space for just over three years now and there is nothing I want more – there is actually nothing I have ever wanted more than to see this place THRIVE. I have dedicated a LOT of myself here tirelessly – as many of you know and will vouch for! I have never been one to give up easily and I am not about to start now.

Since October 2017 (thanks Hive account@thekittygirl… nope, nothing has changed – I still need to check each and every time I need that reference haha!) I have been working at building, demolishing, re-building, moving, tweaking and ultimately growing the Power House Creatives community on Discord – We have traveled so MANY roads together (yes, I know I have said that a thousand times before)… but you know what – it is not to be overlooked or dismissed because despite many rough times – it is true testament to the conviction of the individuals which the backbone of our community is comprised of – as well as the passion and dedication of the members themselves.

A lot has changed over the years, not only within our community space – but on our “blockchain community” too. For those of us that have been here since “close to” inception (referring to Steem, not Hive) there is a lot of heart invested in this space and the people it encompasses - so I think it is safe to say that we all hold the same vision. We want to see growth and passion develop beyond the “us” and in order to achieve that… we have to be actively seeking out and nurturing those that are new to the space or even those that have been around for a while but who (for whatever reasons) do not currently share in the same levels of enthusiasm. It is up to us to sail that ship… it has ALWAYS been up to us – we are the ones that have been doing it all along and we need to keep it up!

Everything is easier when you work as a collective – much like everything is more EFFECTIVE when you work together and for that reason - this is where I am putting my focus now! I want to see more of YOU join us in the PHC server and I want to see more of US already there, making an effort to keep the branches of this tree growing!

I have spent a lot of time lately browsing the “new” feed. It is something I used to a lot of, on a regular basis – but have not done it for a while… There are so MANY… AMAZING individuals out there sharing their content with the intention of it reaching “all of us” - which as most of you know well, it never does. I want to change that, and so I am making an effort to do just that!

So, with that said, I would like to extend an invitation to any and all people reading this – if you are as passionate about Hive as we are, would like to see it thrive and would like to welcome and nurture supportive newcomers and existing members that are ALSO making an effort… then please do JOIN US! We would LOVE to have you as a part of our fantastical team!

“A choir is made up of many voices, including yours and mine. If one by one all go silent then all that will be left are the soloists. Don’t let a loud few determine the nature of the sound. It makes for poor harmony and diminishes the song.”- Vera Nazarian
