>"Coming together is a beginning, staying together is progress, and working together is success." – Henry Ford

Hive is not simply a blockchain - it is a decision, a mindset and a like minded community that shares in the growth of such.

### THE WHAT, WHY, WHO & WHERE OF IT ALL

***These are my five...***

# WHAT 
Not only has #Hive opened up a whole new universe of incredible people from all over the globe to me, but it has also given me unfettered access to a wide range of motivational communities, topics, insights, education and inspiring content and the ability to showcase my own creations- all the while while being paid for it!

What other social media platform gives you all of that?


# WHY
With so many hundreds of thousands of users from all over the world online and engaging 24/7, #Hive gives access me to every user- and they to me, without them specifically having to be in my list of 'friends' or 'followers', which makes it easier to explore and more fun to discover new people and new things.

-though you are always more than welcome to befriend me and follow me if you like! Lol......😀😀😀


# WHO

So many brilliant communities on the #Hive, so how can you choose just 5, but my top 5 faves are the 
#IAmAliveChallenge by @ErikGusstaffson, 
#FeatheredFriends by @melinda010100, 
#AmazingNature
#AlwaysaFlower
#FascinatingInsects

**AND ofcourse, last but definitely not least is the powerful** #PowerHouseCreatives by the fabulous @Jaynie **who has put so much time and effort into creating this fun and motivational mass post for us tonight, which gives you a wonderful feeling to be apart of something so powerful.**


# WHERE
The only Dapps, I need are the ones that connect me to my #HiveFamily and they are PeakD, 3Speak and Actifit.

#THRIVEONHIVE
I've only been here a month now, after first discovering the whole #HiveEcosystem 5 weeks ago, but I'm loving it, the people that I have met and continue to discover and I feel like I am #ThrivingOnHive in more ways than one.

The only thing that I regret about #Hive, is not discovering it much sooner!



# MY SHOUTOUTS
And there's quite a few people that I have to thank for their support, friendship and great conversations and among the many are @flaxz, @PixiePost, @BradleyArrow, @MaddogMike, @Iamraincrystal, @lisamgentile,@willy-femcy, @BasilMarples @AchimMertens, @Jlufer, @gems.and.cookies, @rafaeleff15, and @russellstockley, @ph1102 and @felixxx to name but a few......

So thank you all and I look forward to more days and months and years here with you on the #HiveIsAlive
