It was so fun and refreshing to connect with a few Hive people outside of the blockchain, through packages, VR and in person this past year.
In December I met and went to dinner with 
In September I received a Swiss package from 
These inspired me to send packages to some of my Hive friends around the world.
Friends from early days and #photogames
I also sent [Hive cultural exchange program] and received [Thank You Galenkp!] a package from 
HIVEFEST
I got to meet
It was a cool experience to go to a conference in VR. I am looking forward to traveling to a new part of the world and meeting people in person in the future!
COVID19 monthly updates
I have been doing a monthly recap and journal of what has happened in my life and the world in regards to COVID19.
At the beginning of the crisis I was so interested to know what was happening in other parts of the world and thought some might like to know about things here in Arizona.
On March 13, 2020 I posted Times of change and uncertainty. A couple of days after the World Health Organization announced that COVID-19 is officially a pandemic and Arizona Governor Doug Ducey declared a state of emergency.
On April 14, 2020 I posted Share My World: Thoughts on COVID19 about working from home, ASU moving to online instruction and some of the alerts and numbers of cases.
On May 14, 2020 I posted Monthly COVID19 update about wearing masks, social distancing and graduation online.
On June 19, 2020 I posted My life amid the Coronavirus about my second trip to Utah, a visit from Sara Quinney Jones, the killing of George Floyd and Black Lives Matter and how masks are now mandatory in Arizona.
On July 13, 2020 I posted COVID19 Monthly Journal about all the zoom meetings, question about ASU in the fall, how I was doing a lot of family history work and my new stylish face coverings.
On August 24, 2020 I posted Community of Care named after ASU's campaign response to COVID19, which also includes testing for all students and staff and daily check ins, my awesome friends that I am connecting with via Marco Polo, and a family trip to Glacier National Park in Montana.

on how nice it was to do somethings outside and still having to do a lot online.
On October 13, 2020 I posted COVID19 update--October 13, 2020 which was short and mentioned that I went to the park for a picnic and work is still online.
On November 14, 2020 I posted Conflict and Compassion It was a busy month with traveling to Tennessee and the US presidential election. I also had my first real conflict with someone regarding mask wearing.
On December 13, 2020 I posted Documenting COVID19 which was a short update.
On January 13, 2021 I posted COVID19 update- Eventful month about the people that I was able to see in person and the people I saw online (VR) at HiveFest, how ASU started the spring semester with mostly online classes, the storming of US Capital and the high tensions and political divide, and my sweet friend Ora's death.
So there you have my 3rd year of Steem HIVE and 2020 in review. Oh and I made it to level 70 in October of this year which was quite a cool milestone for me.
