Oh, what a year it's been. We've shared heartaches, anxieties, fears, concerns and worries as well as joys, creativity, advice and supporting, encouraging words. We've seen HIVE dip and rise, we've been separated by distance but not love, and we've been community.

At this time of the year, whether you celebrate Christmas or not, I'm sure you're reflecting on the kind of year it's been. I hope you are turning your attention to the positives over the negatives - yes, the year has been difficult, but there has also been some opportunities to grow and reassess, and to appreciate what it is we do have in this wonderful thing called life. What an experience we are having!

One thing we have all learnt is that the one constant is change. And that's a good thing. As the new year comes, may this change be positive for you, fruitful and nourishing.

There will be changes here at Natural Medicine too, good ones we hope. But for now we thank everyone who has supported us - yes, that's you. If you've upvoted or reblogged any of our posts, commented on anyone who posts in this community or uses the #naturalmedicine tag, delegated or staked LOTUS, you've supported us and we are all so grateful. Together, we are most definitely stronger.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank our curators. Please find a little seasonal bonus in your wallets. I wish it could be more, but I hope you find it a token of my absolute appreciation of the work you do to make Natural Medicine the most supportive and longest running health community on HIVE. It's these guys that try to bring you as much support as they can - if you've got an OCD vote from your content, that's their doing, and if you've been tweeted, reblogged or upvoted, that's them too. Please upvote or tip this post to show your appreciation!

Hive account@drrune, your support of the Spanish community is second to none. Thanks for helping us support dual language content and giving this huge and beautiful community a place. Thankyou for your passionate support of mindfulness content, embracing kindness, gratitude and love as values that make for a better, healthier and more nourished life. We thankyou from the bottom of our hearts for your astral readings and your wonderful newsletter, THE ORERRY. May the planets align in your favour.

Hive account@minismallholding, you're the Lotus Garden advocate, keeping an eye out for all things permaculture, biodynamic, eco focussed gardening, homesteading and the like. Your attention to the little guy is appreciated, and we also appreciate the critical eye for detail you possess, such as pinpointing those pesky plagiarists. Thankyou for all you do - may your chickens be healthy, your weeds where you want them and your vegetables many.

Hive account@trucklife-family, earth and nature goddess extraordinairre. Despite a busy life raising your girls and advocating for others to live lightly on the planet, you still manage a kind word for people writing under the #naturalmedicine tag and comment and curate to keep this community alive. We appreciate your boundless love and advocacy for truth, and your willingness to help this community grow because you believe in it.

Hive account@justinparke, despite living in an uncertain place in uncertain times, manages to deliver a good humoured, well written curation based around vegan food. May 2021 bring you and your family more stability and abundance. Jah love, my friend!

A few other notable mentions

_{Hive account@canadian-coconut thanks so much for your generous upvotes which help us grow and support others in return, Hive account@abundancetribe, Hive account@acidyo and Hive account@raymondspeaks for your generous support, Hive account@richardcrill for being our Lotus manager and advisor, Hive account@pavanjr, a relative newcomer to Natural Medicine, has enthusiastically embraced his role as Lotus Love curator and his entries into the challenges are superb. Hive account@vincentnijman has spent most of the year making sure everyone in our Discord is supported, and though he no longer has the time or energy to commit to curating, he is still very much appreciated for his presence and advice within our community. Hive account@porters too steps in on the occasional Sunday and we can't thank her enough for organising the roster for the curators as Hive account@riverflows is terrible with dates! Hive account@bobydimitrov, Hive account@plantstoplanks, Hive account@nateonsteemit, Hive account@taintedblood - thanks for keeping a vibrant gardening channel in Discord - it's always interesting to see what's growing in your gardens and the excellent advice you have. To the Hive account@adiwathrive crew, particularly Hive account@aulitairene and Hive account@josecabrerav, thanks for your beautiful curations that we are so happy to continue to support, and Hive account@josecabrerav, your healing music is so appreciated, particularly your regular sessions on Wednesdays. Hive account@tarot911 - wow - the hard work you put into your readings is astounding! Hive account@danielapavs, the art you bring to your woman-nourishing, mental health supportive and heart centred content is appreciated. Hive account@carolynstahl and Hive account@plantstoplanks and Hive account@sreypov - where would we be without your moreish plantbased content?}

We can't possibly thank all the people we should thank, and if we've missed you, know that we haven't really - you are truly in our hearts. May you have a beautiful restful Christmas break, and go well into the coming year.

Thankyou ever so much to all our delegators - you do make a real difference and we appreciate all the support we get. xx
