It's been a thrilling week because I got the opportunity to attend the Hive Borehole Launch Event. My infrequent posting on Hive is due to the demanding nature of my work as a midwife. My experience this week has inspired me to keep active going forward, and since I have some time off work, I will be able to do so even more.

Today I decided to share with you a completely different kind of post, something that is not typical for me... and it is a story about me, me as a small and big person. I would like to show you my life through the following pictures. Actually, I would like to show myself through growing up. What I was like physically, and maybe I can show my character through that. I'll start with pictures when I was a baby. When I look at myself in these pictures, honestly, the first thing I think is "what a cute baby I was". Maybe that sounds pretentious, but it really is. All my life, everyone has been telling me that I was a very beautiful baby, and you can imagine my face when they told me that all the doctors thought I was the most beautiful in the maternity hospital back in 1996.

Hello friends of HIVE, I am here again, I am glad to greet you, in this story of my life, I want to tell you how I got up from a very young age from every fear I had. The first thing was that when I was terrified of something, I fought it with thoughts of joy like: singing, riding a bicycle, thinking of a field of flowers... and so, I developed that little by little in Me. I became a dreamy, cheerful, fun woman and that good energy and vibe I was transmitting to my friends, sister, brother, children, partner.

Long time not writing here, I just came back to Berlin from Barcelona, and as much as I wanted to connect with the community, I had to settle down and organise many things that were left behind during the summer

Personally, I see freedom as the phase in life one reaches, when he/she is able to attain whatever was desired to achieve without having the fear of disapproval from someone whose thought does not align with yours.

After embarking on my journey into the unknown due to the situation in my country, I arrived in the Dominican Republic, full of fears, thoughts, illusions, desire to move forward and many hopes inside me that everything would go well, I began my adventure in this country that as my beginning says I consider my second home. The beginnings are not very easy to say, I was received in the home of a very good friend who I met when I was 13 years old in high school, she, along with her family were kind enough to welcome me in this new stage of my life, they have known me for many years and gave me this opportunity to give me their roof until I could start my way alone.

The bright white buildings with the cast shadows and dark green surrounding shines in the light. Getting the light and shadows right is the key in this painting.

Good morning my fellow people on Hive and especially my current and future students on Hive. My name is Zak Ludick, I live in Cape Town South Africa and since the start of 2022, I have been actively onboarding and teaching the basics of Hive to a number of new users. Most of these I on-boarded myself, but these lessons are valid topics for anyone who posts online and it is a good idea to educate and contemplate!

I found myself in Home depot to see what wood they had to use to make the carcass of a raised floor in the minivan. I brought a crow bar as I dont have one for the future and a hand saw for cutting the wood.

Planning a trip can cost you some time if you want to nail it. I'm lucky I'm so used to squeezing a few days into one due to client budgets. I've learned my ways to be as efficient as well as productive at the same time with this.
