HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY @riverflows! That was quite a year you had and could only happen here on Steemit!
I'm so, so happy we have made this connection here on Steemit! You have been an inspiration to me so many times and through following your writing (you know I am a big fan of your writing) I have upped my writing game too!
How wonderful it was that you created #NaturalMedicine! It has made a big difference in many peoples lives to have a place for uncensored sharing of any and all of the different avenues natural medicine covers.
Such wonderful folks in the community and I love being part of the team to keep it running! Same with Homesteaders Coop!

I do so hope that one day we will be able to meet in person but it is pretty cool that we can now hear your voice on Live chat!

Thanks for the Bounty on this post!
My one downer -
The uncertainty of where this platform is going, I love it and the people on it but I know that there can be changes made so quickly and it all could be taken away. (but we still have Discord to connect - great Natural Medicine discord channel by the way!)

Oh it's got to be the fabulous connections and friendships I've made here, people I never would have connected with else wise and folks from all over the world (reminds me of the days when I had pen-pals!)

Seeing what I had envisioned for ways to have a better future starting to manifest here on the blockchain and that I get to play a part in it coming about! So no matter what happens to Steemit that has been truly valuable to me and I'm sure with all the connections I've made it will continue to manifest and make for brighter futures! Definitely will make my future brighter!
