Great Views from the Top with Steempeak:
Why I'm in Love with It!

Author: Hive account@riverflows
Curator: Hive account@artemislives - So many interfaces, apps and tools, and mostly it just feels like they all ADD more and more effort to the process, which makes me less and less inclined to use them. But in reading River's simple, structured review, I suddenly felt myself saying "Yes! I need this!" Because being busy doesn't cut if for me, but cruising around the mountain peaks being MORE EFFECTIVE sure does! I appreciate it most when no-tech-nerdy people write app reviews, because then I KNOW it's worth looking at and not just another tech toy among thousands. Appreciating this author for sharing a tool that will help improve my steem world.

New Opportunities, New Beginnings!!

Author: Hive account@sugandhaseth
Curator: Hive account@artemislives - Who doesn't love chocolate?! Was THRILLED to see our very own steem video queen expanding her entrepreneurial self into a boutique chocolatier. There is a God, it would appear. Sugandha applies herself, shares from the heart and has a passion for life - I KNOW that she will give that to her chocolate in the same way she does to her steem world. She is an inspiration to watch and follow, partly for her consistency and drive, and partly because she's not afraid to learn, try, tweak, adjust and improve. That and our steem family gatherings here in Thailand have CHOCOLATE in their near future? Oh Yes!!!

Duality, Distraction and Why Deselecting
Is The Most Radical Thing You Can Do

Author: Hive account@artemislives
Curator: Hive account@tibra - Good post, worth a read. A discussion of the endless splits into X versus not X that seem to be occurring everywhere and good reasons why there should be less of all that. A call for new paradigms that can unite people, rather than only highly polarized sometimes meaningful, but most often not, hostilities over things that are not fundamental.

Homemade Ollas: Thinking About Water Use in The Garden.

Author: Hive account@riverflows
Curator: Hive account@verhp11 - What I like about this Author is that most of her posts have a environmental or problem solving sense. In this post she explains a way, likewise people in India an Brazil, to 'capture' water for crops in dry times by a great (semi natural) technique. In times where water is getting more non-commodity this will be a great way to keep crops and soil watered the right amount and way.

Why Is 'Play Time' Important And
What Are Some Of Your Favorite Things To Do Just For Fun?

Author: Hive account@hopehuggs
Curator: Hive account@karinxxl - Taking us all back to our childhood by letting us realize that deep down we are also still children, as she says: 'drop your defenses at least once a day and let your hair down.' This is a big kick for us all in the butt to be more spontaneous and let ourselves not so serious all the time!
