Happy New Month!

Hello, and welcome back to my space! It is the first day of the month of December 2024, and I believe you are as excited as I am to witness the last month of this year! From the bottom of my heart, I want to wish you a very beautiful and productive month. May December deliver more success to you than you saw in the past months.

Of course, December 1st means that today is the last Hive Power Up Day For the year! How time flies, right?

I can't believe that for the past eleven months, I have maintained accountability to myself to participate in every HPUD no matter how much or how little amount of liquid HIVE I can afford to stake. Yes, I had to make that commitment because I wanted to grow.

At the beginning of this year, I was challenged when I saw some people I respect on this platform sharing about their consistent participation in HPUD, and I made up my mind to start my own monthly Power up journey.

Of course, I do power up little amounts of HIVE from time to time as often as it is possible, but the monthly staking is one I decided not to miss again, after missing January HPUD.

The more I increased my Hive Power, the more the value of my votes increased, and of course that meant an increase in the rewards I get for curating other people's posts.

Growth Is Sweet!

I was able to promote to Minnow status a few months ago as my stakes increased, and I know it is time to up my staking game if I want to promote to Dolphin category by this time next year. Of course, my consistency in posting and other aspects need to increase as well for me to achieve that without stress.

Anyways, I am happy and grateful for where I have reached, and as I celebrate with my glass of lemon water, I am making a promise to myself that the next 12 months will be far better for me.

Today, I have powered up 45 HIVE tokens. The plan was to stake 50Hive once more as I have done in the past few months, but my swaps weren't successful on my #Keychain app so I could only settlefor the 45. The time has come to go higher by the way, and we will see how everything plays out in the coming months.

Thank you for reading. I hope you powered up your Hive tokens. If yes, congratulations 🎊. If not, why not 😊 ? Let's take control of our growth.
