I've been back on Hive for about 3 months now after an almost three-year break and I wanted to share my gratitude with you all.
I kind of fell back into it when I went on discord trying to tokenize my art on Opensea.io. I sent my beautiful friend 
To say that I was blown away by the way the NM community had grown would be an understatement.
Back in 2018, after Facebook culled my natural health pages, I put a message in the #ecotrain community to ask if anyone was interested in starting a Natural medicine channel and possibly a side shoot to Ecotrain. I wanted it to be something that wouldn't be censored so the idea of sharing personal experiences came about. Along with this, I wanted to have an archival record of ancestral medicine so that these ancient natural remedies would be preserved on the blockchain and not forgotten.
Upon returning, the community was 3000 subs strong (now over 4k), and it had grown into something far better than what I had originally envisioned for it. Many great people are all working hard as curators, moderators, pollinators, spreading the good vibes and mindful ethos that Natural Medicine embodies. 
There is even a frontend via Naturalmedicine.io and it has its own chat feature, which is great for new users and those who are not on Hive. The content on NM is fantastic and there are a great variety of challenges, ways to engage, and even a sister account 
Reconnecting and Finding New Friends & Communities
Back in the discord server, I made friends with some beautiful souls such as 
Hive is such a diverse place, I started exploring different communities and stumbled across #hiveopenmic. I wasn't disappointed. Back in the days of Steemit, the open mic was a contest and I had always been too shy to share any music there. This new community on Hive, helped me to find some more beautiful connections, new friends, and fantastic music. The element of competition has gone to create this positive and ambient place where musicians from all over the world feel comfortable to share their talents and I am truly honored to be part of it. I like the way we can support and uplift each other. Showing love and appreciation.
I'm so in awe of how beautiful the Hive platform has become that my enthusiasm has spilled out in the real world. I even managed to get a few of my friends involved too. 
I wanted to say a big thank you to @OCD, and all those actively involved within that community. You all work hard to help newcomers, plankton, and minnows like me feel valued and noticed in the vast ocean that is Hive. 
Speaking of feeling valued as an author, 
Did I miss anyone out?
I've been exploring more communities on the Hive blockchain and have found #musicforlife to be a lovely bunch of folk. #teamuk supports content created by authors from the UK. I'm sure with time, I will find more...
So there we have it, folks, I shamelessly tagged you all.
I felt the need to share my gratitude because here on the blockchain is where I feel at home on Social Media. I love the positivity, kindness, and all-round vibe that this place shares. I hope I haven't left anyone out. If I have I am sorry, you are all wonderful and I value every interaction I have here.
So from the bottom of my heart, I'm throwing loads of love out there to you all, with my deepest gratitude to let you know how much you all make this space an amazing place to be.
As a token of my gratitude I have nominated , and 
to each receive a little beneficiary payment from this post.
