Foreword
This post is very late this month, but better late than never. I am trying to pick up the pieces after a long, difficult patch. Thank you for 
As I pick myself up, I'll return to Hive and my various roles.
June Hive Power Up Day Delegations
So, without (much) further ado, my usual delegations to redfish that participated in this month's edition of #HivePUD -
For those not familiar with what I do each month after Power Up Day: I delegate 100 Hive to 3 participating accounts.
Why I do this?
As I always say:
It's a combination of paying it forward and walking the talk. I remember what it's like to be a redfish and I remain forever grateful to the folk who supported me in those
steemyearly and confusing days on the blockchain. That's not to say I'm an expert now. I most definitely am not and my relative "success" on the Hive blockchain has been a combination of trial and error (quite a lot!) as well as learning by osmosis. A lot of all three...and at the risk of repeating myself, the help of good folk who cared enough to look out for noobs.
Nearly five years ago, when I started my cryptoblogging journey onboarding and support initiatives were few and far between. I am delighted that there are now several and I'm thrilled to be able to play a little role in helping people to hang around on Hive.
June Power Up Day
If you don't know what happens on Hive Power Up Day and how accounts stand to gain, read 
A reminder about my delegations - if you didn't follow the link...
Each month, I set aside 300 HP that I delegate an equal share among three accounts that meet the basic Power Up Day Criteria.
In my case, though, and given my focus on redfish, the accounts must also be -
- be less than 6 months old
- have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day.
Posts that qualify must have 200 words or more and exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
As a reminder, the reason I added the second criterion is because -
Hive is a social blockchain: it's for socialising, ruminating and just generally hanging out.- a reputation of less than 61
- not more than 500 HP in their accounts before they power up - both on the first of the month
Qualifying accounts for June
This month, there were only two qualifying accounts. Remember, they must also comply with my additional criteria -
- have at least two qualifying posts since the previous power up day, i.e. since April 1st;
- that the posts do have 200 words or more (in English - because I'd like to be able to engage...) and
- exclude posts for Power Up Day, and Actifit.
As usual, when there are slim pickings, we have also reached out to other folk who work with redfish, but with no success. So, as with the last couple of months, we're continuing our support of one of last month's beneficiaries.
Because --
That means that for June, only two accounts have won delegations, one of which also received a delegation from us last month.
This means that this month, each of us will still delegate 100HP for 21 days and the accounts are:

, and Evidence of June Delegation - 
Here is proof of my delegations:
So, I have sent 100HP delegations each to
But that's not all
Remember that in addition to the delegations, 
A last word - or two
Thanks as always to 
Thanks too, to 
Until next time, be well

If this post might seem familiar, it's because I'm doing two things:
- re-vamping old recipes. As I do this, I am adding them in a file format that you can download and print. If you download recipes, buy me a coffee. Or better yet, a glass of wine....?
- and "re-capturing" nearly two years' worth of posts.
- From Wordpress, I use the Exxp Wordpress plugin. If this rocks your socks, click here or on on the image below to sign up.
