Collective Identity Is Strength, Diversity, Connections With People
Wow a long walk down blogging together, we have yet to meet in person, true Durbanites or is it just me? Real life takes us on journeys between loadshedding, lockdowns, losing loved ones we have maintained contact through it all, thanks Lizelle it's always good to know one has others to confide/rely on, something I have found with all members who join is they tend to understand!
Contact started before Hive came into fruition, when @lizelle made contact after I had almost imploded with a person I thought I knew, turned out being a scam artist. Discord actually became a wonderful way to keep contact from June 2018, our form of bush telegraph messaging has continued, as and when either of us had time to check messages.
April 2021 contacted mentioning Silver Bloggers introductory post going out We've Only Just Begun..., being inundated with a personal uphill, I never ventured to join the team, remained in background as support, great to see many faces still on the inaugural post May 1st, 2021.
June 2022 @mondoshawan assisted with page divider, art work in footer by Hubby to @artywink for Silver Bloggers, a big thanks there too!
April 2023 Silver Bloggers went onto open an online store to assist buying/selling using Hive, Thrifted, this is a brilliant idea for pre-loved goods being sold has been successfully tried and tested.
Outpouring of sympathy to @fionasfavourite when Tom passed away early June 2023. Unbeknown Lizelle's Arthur would pass in July a month later. I am not a great with words when it comes to such loss The Rose, support for one another makes this community a wonderful place online to call home.
Three years celebrating, sharing, moving through the years Silver's Team need to be thanked for dedicating time to bring people together, currently @fionasfavourites, @lizelle, @tengolotodo, @coquicoin and @mondoshawan are steering.
Lizelle words - "This is NOT a Geriatric Society so no talk of Dentures, Hearing Aids, Spectacles, Pills and the like will be tolerated; members will be muted if found guilty of this offense". What to do/Ho to Guide
Happy 3rd Anniversary to the Silver Blogger community on Hive!
Keep buzzing....
