Welcome to GatherBump

Videos are back! 🎥 Video posts are working again. Thanks for hanging in there! I also fixed a problem with newer iPhones. Videos recorded with Spatial Audio (the default on newer iPhones) were failing with "Couldn't read this video file." They post normally now. If one of your videos failed in the last few days, please post it again. — Jake

I miss summer!😪Burlington Flats NY

Friendly reminder that GatherBump has a market where you can buy and sell things, or post items for free. Try it out! ✌️

As part of the early development, I would like to ask my founding members if there is anything you'd like to see added or changed within GatherBump? I will take your requests into consideration, since the entire build was all my idea on my own, and I'm curious to hear your thoughts. One thing I would like to add is that I already have near-future plans that will allow musicians and podcast hubs the ability to add an audio playlist.

Quick heads-up: video posts are paused for now. 🎥 One of the companies that helps GatherBump process videos is having a problem on their end. Your videos aren't lost. If you post one, it will show as "processing" and finish on its own once they're back up. Everything else works normally: posts, photos, comments, messages, Hubs and Market. Thanks for your patience! I'll post again when videos are back. — Jake

Working on max

I’ve been out gathering mullein leaves today! Mullein (Verbascum thapsus) has a long traditional history of supporting the respiratory system. It’s also been known to help with soothing irritated airways & sore throats, easing chest congestion, & just losening stuck stubborn mucous associated with a dry cough. Lab & animal studies have shown antibacterial activity, antioxidant activity, anti inflammatory potential, bio active compound’s & potential anti viral activity! Today, I pulled off all the outer leaves off my 2 plants and am only leaving the tight center basil rosette. I’m doing this because for the first time, I’m harvesting the roots too! When a hard freeze hits, the plant will channel its energy back into the roots, making them at their max medicinal potency. However, taking the roots does ruin any possibility of a second year plant. Mullein root is traditionally known to aid in back pain, joint pain, nerve pain. Support for the bladder & urinary tract. Spinal support & structural support. I plan to make a tincture with them. I’ll use them fresh & with at least 100 proof vodka at a 1:2 ratio of root to vodka. And it’ll need to macerate at least 6 weeks before straining & bottling. Have you ever used mullein before?

# THE MAN WHO REFUSED TO QUIT *A Story of Courage, Purpose, and Honoring Our Fallen Heroes* Life has a way of testing a man. Sometimes it tests his strength. Sometimes it tests his faith. And sometimes it places obstacles in his path that would cause many to stop, sit down, and surrender their dreams. I've faced battles most people will never see. I've battled a brain aneurysm. I still live with a brain tumor. I have no carotid artery, and my eyesight has been taken from me almost entirely. My road has not been easy. My challenges are real, and every step I take is a reminder that life is precious, and tomorrow is never promised. But I'm still here. And as long as I'm here, I still have a purpose. I could have allowed my circumstances to define me. I could have accepted that my limitations meant my life had to become smaller. I could have given up on the things that make my heart beat with purpose. **But that's not who I am.** I walk for the men and women who never made it home. I walk for the families who still carry the pain of losing someone they love. I walk so the names of our Fallen Heroes will never be forgotten. Every mile has meaning. Every name tells a story. Every step is my way of saying, *You mattered. Your sacrifice mattered. And somebody still remembers you.* My body may have limitations, but my determination has no surrender in it. My eyesight may be fading, but I can still see the importance of the mission before me. I may not know how many miles remain in my journey. I may not know what tomorrow will bring. But I know this: **I will keep walking for as long as I can.** Because this is bigger than me. Bigger than my struggles. Bigger than the obstacles standing in my way. It's about honoring those who gave everything so the rest of us could live free. And if my journey teaches anyone anything, I hope it teaches them this: Don't let your hardships write the ending of your story. Don't let your limitations convince you that your life no longer has meaning. And never believe that one person, no matter what they face, cannot make a difference. You don't have to be perfect. You don't have to be fearless. You just have to find something worth standing for—and keep going when the road gets hard. **Because courage isn't measured by what stands in your way. It's measured by your willingness to keep moving forward.** And when my miles are finally walked, when my journey on this earth comes to an end, and someone looks back on the life I lived, I hope they remember the Heroes I honored, the lives I touched, and the message I tried to leave behind. I hope they remember a man who faced adversity and kept moving. A man who carried his struggles but refused to let them carry him away from his purpose. And when my story is finally told, let these words stand as a testament to the life I lived: **"When I die and my story is told, it will never say, 'He gave up.'"** It will say he kept walking. It will say he kept fighting. It will say he kept honoring the Fallen. **And until his final breath, he never surrendered.**

GatherBump apps have been submitted to both Google Play Store and Apple Store for review. Hopefully it won't be much longer until they are available 🤞 Just playing the waiting game now!
