So here we are, living and breathing on day #44 on the #HiveBlockchain, #ThriveOnHive, #HiveIsAlive and saying #Hive5 to all of the new members of this fantastic community that @ErikGustafsson known far and wide as @Flaxz created for us to share our gratitude for being alive and if you want to know more about this amazing community to see just why you need to join and share in the love, then read more here https://peakd.com/hive-100421/@flaxz/glmrrjya
So if there are any people completely new to the blockchain with as many questions that I have had, then Erik has also very kindly created this other great community, especially for us newbies (and even some of the Hive Oldies) to ask all of those pesky questions that you just can't seem to find the answers to within all of the other insightful guides, tutorials and FAQs created by other generous people within the #Hive and you can access that community and all of the wonderful people who are answering those questions for us here The Hive Affiliates Community https://peakd.com/c/hive-119732/created and speaking ofwhich, did you know about the Hive Engine tokens and how to use them? If not, then check out the great tutorial that
@achim03.ctp created here for us. https://peakd.com/hive-119732/@achim03.ctp/olsjdpcm
And through a very detailed conversation that I have been having over the past few days with the awesome @jeanlucsr and @sergiomendez, @jeanlucsr has been kind enough to share this Hive Newbees Digest - Welcome to Hive from 2 months ago, which has been a serious help as he has added in some great examples there. Things are falling into place and I'm not as scared to press a button anymore...
So if anyone had any questions, then please read the first 3 installments of his brilliant blog here https://peakd.com/hive/@jeanlucsr/hive-newbees-digest-001-welcome-to-hive

Oooh and this one too by @beckie96830 https://peakd.com/hive-122108/@beckie96830/how-does-curation-work-on-hive-what-are-the-rules-posting-and-voting-limits and after reading these, so many things have fallen into place-finally, thankfully! Phew!
And don't get me wrong, If I had not have found the amazing guides that @sidwrites wrote, then I would not be here at all, so a massive thank you to him for all of the time and effort put into those, but I think that having these examples in here helps to a huge extent and even these descriptions and the links to some of the other communities and users too! So a massive shout out to all that put the time and effort into making this very complex universe a bit simpler for us new crypto/blockchain space travelers!
Now Speaking of space, I left mine today to get out and get some fresh air and even though it was rainy for a while, the sun came out and the temperature rocketed up to (felt like) about 30c, I think it was only about 20c in reality though, but when it's 14c and you've got 2 layers on....
And I just did something very exciting (and embarrassing), I just put up my first Actifit post and Well how embarrassing. Now you all know what a fat pig I am. 😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳
And Piggy I am- in the Chinese new year. And Pigs I don't want to eat (cause I don't, they're animals and I LOVE animals), but I really don't want to be a fat piggy either and I have been trying so hard over the last few months to lose weight, while I have the chance, but am battling things out of my control- like the damn heart medication...doesn't matter though, cause battle away I will and win the war I am sure. (eventually)....
And funny story, having a walk yesterday after my Qigong and dancing, I found this work of art in the foyer of a new building a few blocks away. Hmmmm....
Anyhooo, I'm not going to waffle on about my fats bits anymore, instead I'll tell you about the very much more interesting posts that I have come across today for the #IAmEngagedChallenge.
First off we have a heartwrenching post from @electronicsworld about his connection to the Explosion in Beirut and the reason he created a GoFundMe campaign, which you can read about here, https://peakd.com/hive-149312/@chocolatescorpi/beirut-blast-lebanese-expat-experience-fundraising-campaign-hive-149312#@electronicsworld/re-chocolatescorpi-2020814t111338217z and to which I think is a great cause to spare some change too, but first off, I want to know more, such as So how are you going to but divided into packages to individual citizens and families.? so I presume that you're talking about financial packages from the funds raised?
Are you talking about an equal amount divided up after the fundraiser has closed and then donated to the individuals? Or donating to them as the fundraiser are still coming in?
And were are you getting those individuals from? Do you have a list of are in contact with a local humanitarian organisation there on the ground?
In this time of global financial strife, people who can afford to donate will want to know exactly where there money is going, who it's going to and how it's getting there and what it is going to be used for- especially when it is a completely unknown individual like yourself asking, rather than a well known charity, you know what I mean.....
And you can read his answers here https://peakd.com/@electronicsworld/re-chocolatescorpi-2020814t131143572z
And then a great article from @markkujantunen explaining why he thinks that A Large Part Of The HIVE Supply Will Always Be Liquid which you can read and comment on here https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@markkujantunen/a-large-part-of-hive-will-always-be-liquid and I would love to hear you thoughts aswell, as being so new to all of this, it's always best to hear all viewpoints.
And then I met @rahmadantara beautiful Spider here https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@rahmadantara/forest-spider and she is gorgeous. If I am correct, she is a Golden Orb as I had one across my kitchen- which was actually the back veranda when I used to caretake the Prema Shanti yoga and Meditation Retreat in the early 2000's here https://www.premashanti.com.au/ and my Golden Orb and I had a great partnership as she used to eat all of the flies and the Mozzies and we would have great chats while I was cooking.
Then she had little males orbs run all over her, became pregnant, ate them all, got fat and left to have her babies! I did miss her after that! 😘
And then I found this post from the #OCD community about the OCD Communities Incubation Program - Update #1 which you can read here https://peakd.com/hive-174578/@ocd/ocd-communities-incubation-program-update-1
And then I found this great contest by @zord189 here https://peakd.com/hive-114105/@zord189/hive-creative-contest-or-these-are-a-few-of-my-favourite-things-contest-details which is a great way for everyone in the #IAmAliveChallenge Community to actually to show the gratitude that you have with your favourite things- those things that make you glad to be alive, are keeping you alive and you couldn't do without- especially now.
So here we are, Friday night all my fats bits hanging out like dirty laundry...
But then like this guy, maybe I could make some $$$$
Anyhooo, Goodnight, be well, be safe and look after the Mother Earth as much as your loved ones. 😊
Thank you very much for your support! I hope we could really help out because what these groups of volunteers are doing is not enough and they need help through funding. Hereafter is a link showing how the people of lebanon are doing what their country is not doing. This what pushes me to try helping them by promoting this fundraising campaign.

Watch around 4:30 what was the lady's answer when she received the money... "Do not worry we will not use them for us these are for the victims" . This is a normal reaction in a country where in the past 30 years they robbed people's money and where CHARITIES were just another scam to rob more and clean out the dirt of the politicians.
Well done keeping up your engagements Leesa, and that was a lot of posts highlighted.

Love that statue!
And am going to share your post with newbies. a great collection of info.
Haa thank you.I had a chat with my fat bits today and we've all decided that they must go!
Yes @jeanlucsr did a fantastic job explaining the intricate details with the examples.
Pleased dp share with any new people that you come across as I wish that I hadv'e read these 6 weeks ago (and during the past 6 weeks...) when I first discovered Hive and blockchain crypto as I would have more hair on my head still.
I hear you. When I first started, I didn't know anything about anything and it was quite a learning journey.
Now, at least we have a lot of groups that are willing or have it as a purpose to help newbies.
It is a whole new world here...
Yes, a whole new UNIVERSE! With whole new solar systems within the universe too!
hahaha - you are right!!
btw. do you know about Actifit? That is a dapp on the blockchain rewarding you for activity... It inspires me to almost daily get to 10,000 steps :)
Haa Just joined Actifit!
I've been exercising (QiGong and Dancing) every day (almost) since March and I wish I hadv'e know about Actifit then! 🙄
