Happy One Year Anniversary, We Are Alive Tribe

We_Are_Alive - 1year Anniversary.png

There couldn't be an easier post for me, because of my gratitude for @flaxz - @jlufer - @iamraincrystal and a handful of others that provided that community feel right off the bat; when I came onto HIVE.

Honorable mention goes to @benthomaswwd - I met Ben way after my experiences with the Alive tribe, but the guy is supercool and an amazing addition to the tribe.

I often mention about my early days of HIVE that Erik was my guide, who would always take time to provide me with tips on how to navigate HIVE and if it wasn't for him; it probably would have taken me longer and although I still have a ton to learn - it's much easier to understand, because of his help.

Overall, Erik has been instrumental in providing opportunities to create content for new people coming on to HIVE that makes it less intimidating; because a lot of We Are Alive is about - being YOU.

That is why I gravitated to the space and participated in the I Am Alive Challenge, Luke the List Builder Scavenger Hunt - kudos to @maddogmike - and Alive and Thriving including video posts in some of my submissions. That is how I became more comfortable creating content, making my banners, getting out of my comfort zone with videos and other situations that otherwise would have been uncomfortable.

CTP's, The 30 Day No Excuses Challenge and this tribe's I Am Alive Challenge helped me get through some rough times during my battle with COVID. Being able to speak/write about the ordeal during and after was a huge mental boost for me, because it really messed me up and it was nice to have an outlet to express myself.

Although, Jon Olson and his team are the reason I am on HIVE, I also give credit to Erik for helping me not run away with frustration and getting better acclimated with the platform and has always been super helpful.

Along the way, I've happily invested in the ALIVE token. I was one of the first one's if I remember correctly and just delegated some HIVE power to @youarealive. Whatever little I can do, it's always with big intentions to help; if I'm able to.

I know this is a CONTEST, but I would have submitted this post regardless of that.

Now, that I did; I'm glad I have a chance to win something. Either way - I'm a winner, because I'm Alive and Thriving.
