Hi @stacyloesch welcome to Hive. I'm @palomap3 from Lovesniper OCD team.
Oh, it's an honour to welcome someone who regularly converses with Socrates and Gandhi, hehe. Seriously, it's not that you feel like you've lived two lives, you have! It seems like you're fulfilling the dream of many, to be able to retire after a satisfying working life and rest in a place that feels like paradise. Here you can share everything you want, learn and teach others... Hive is a vast universe! Enjoy this new adventure.
