With this year drawing to a close, let me take this opportunity and extend to all my best regards in this season. As today is Christmas Day, I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Looking through the rear window of this past year, I would probably say that 2024 was bumpy, full of ups and downs, each teaching me a lesson, giving me enough memories to last a lifetime.

It’s easy to forget the importance of relationships in today’s fast-paced world. Most people are too absorbed in their own lives to appreciate what truly matters. They don’t reach out just to say hey or hello!, don’t take the time to stay connected, and often forget the importance of the little things. However, I can tell you that the greatest investment you will ever make will be in people and the return on investment (ROI) is unparalleled and limitless.

Nature has that excellent way of teaching us in itself some of the largest of life's lessons. Like the trees, they change in seasons, go off shedding their leaves and eventually become bare. They will now begin to look lifeless, unattractive; the lose anything that was at some time beautiful, full of life and splendor, but they don't lose it all. The inner lining is still there full with the potential of re-flowering; they merely bide their time.

There is something we all see the moment when step out, the beautiful sky that sorrounds us. God is mighty and the vast sky is a proof of His power. I stepped outside, and the first thing that caught my eyes was something up in the beautful blue sky. At first, I wasn't so sure what it was, perhaps it's the moon, i said to myself, but I kept staring, there it was, "the Moon!" It seemed so strange to see it in daytime.

Hive is an amazing platform that makes it way easier for people to build and share value without starting from scratch. So much has already been built, offering a solid foundation for anyone ready to innovate. That is one of the best things about Hive and a big reason why more people should explore it.

Often times I'm reminded of how much access to technology has made my life and the lives of all others better. Talking about technology, it's not that shiny gadget or some really cool app that I'm referring to but their real-life-changing solutions. Let me take a minute to share with you how many us wouldn't have made it this far in life without access to either the internet or a just the cellphone. How many of us would have made it today had not the internet and the cell phone been used? Imagine that.
