Hi Hive friends. I have been MIA from the powerup movement for quite some time. Sure, maybe I powered up something, at some point, in the last 12 months. But I'm not even sure I posted about it!
I got a bit overwhelmed and lost with all the options and all the things pulling my attention in all the directions. Especially building a business online - I felt like Hive was competing for my attention.
But I'm back. I want to find a sustainable way to keep doing a little bit of Hive regularly-ish, because these communities give me something my business does not. Mostly, access to and conversations with people from a broader range of backgrounds, worldviews and locations globally that keep stretching my mind.
I love it.
But, to the point of this post: I powered up!
The most I have, maybe ever! 🙌
Photo evidence...
For years, I would power up just the minimum suggested amount of 10.000 HIVE. But I'm coming to realise that pulling HIVE out of my account is probably a silly move when the HIVE price is so low.
So, I'm taking the advice of 
There were several suggestions that ctrpch made while we were chatting at the Hive meetup in Adelaide. Now that I'm home, I've had a good look and worked out which ones suit me and my posting frequency, posting topics and budget, and have started to implement them.
Doing this HPUD post is one of them! Buying some LSTR and SURGE were two others. And my intention now is to keep powering up each month, and posting a vaguely reasonable number of times with decent posts in communities where I will happily engage with others.
Now, here's where I need your help dearest gentle reader...
I'd LOVE to read YOUR Hive power up day posts! Can you link yours in a comment? I'll give an full upvote to everyone who posts a link to a HPUD post as I want to see what you're doing, what you're talking about, etc as a way for me to a. learn and b. stay inspired/motivated/engaged.
THANK YOU!
