My goal for August was to get to 5 SP, which seemed kinda daunting due to the sad state of my account. Oh, how I've been blessed since then.

Almost at my goal
As of writing this, I have 4.086 Steem. 
I've been powering up with all the Steem and SBD I've received but I couldn't have done it without help. 
Hive account@ironshield nominated me to the 
Hive account@minnowfund and I got an instant 15 SP delegation just for being nominated. Then, because I have wonderful friends here on Steemit who backed the nomination, I got the 100 SP delegation for 45 days!
Being blessed?
Did you spot that delegation in the screenshot? Something is not adding up! I should have a 115 SP delegation from Hive account@minnowfund. But there's 135.010. At first, I suspected a kind, anonymous angel but a little research revealed that the extra 20 SP came from the Hive account@minnowfund as well, since the nominated Steemians didn't live up to their criteria. I'm thankful for the extra boost.
Help me bless others, please
I promised to pay it forward by nominating people in my following for the Hive account@minnowfund delegation, but sadly for me, they are changing the way the account works so that won't be an option anymore. If you know of a similar initiative. I would very much like to hear about it.
Setting new goals
As long as I have the delegation from Hive account@minnowfund I will be powering up all my earnings. I'm hoping to get to 10 SP before the delegation ends. I could really use the income in my business soon, but I want to grow my account as well. It's a balancing act. My goal is to get to a point where I can get $37 from Steemit every month. That would pay for the business coaching I'm getting, which has proved instrumental in getting on the right track. If you have the smarts to figure out how much I need in SP etc to get to that goal I would really appreciate the guidance.
