Today marks a very significant day in my life and in the lives of those alive today. It's not an easy ride so far but I'm glad we all made it.
Before I talk about powering up, I'll like to run through memory lane of how I got to my current hive power and reputation.
When I started newly and made my introductory post, it didn't do well and I had just 16 delegated HP that I used to post and comment on people's post.
After my second post, a kind friend delegated another 25 hive power in the person of @kiwibloke.
I downloaded Discord and started chatting with people, trying to engage. Little did I know that it's not there one engages rather they do so on their blogs.
I was handed over to @theterminal admins by @fionafavourites and they took me in to join in their rallies.
I also joined other communities like #gems, #ocd and #hivebootcamp. As time passed I joined a few others like #projecthope, #bcdcommunity, #monomad etc.
Just like every hiver here, I started with a reputation of 25 and grew to 57 currently. I was pushed up by the votes of #appreciator, #trafglar, #project.hope and other kind curators who found my post worthy of being curated.
There are times I earned nothing on a post but that didn't discourage me cause it's not all about the earning but about having a great time here.
I also engaged in a few contests hosted by the likes of @felt.buzz, @theycallmedan, @galenkp, @theterminal, @starstrings and @culgin. Some of which earned me an upvote, reblog, retweet and hives.
I won't forget the kind gestures of @theterminaml, @brittandjosie, @justclickindiva, @thekittygirl and @nickyhavey for their hives and hive power.
Engaging with this much people landed me my current hive power. I was able to seize every opportunity I got to interact with them and win awesome prices.
My power up adventure
I had 154 HP and powered up my 78 hive making it 216 plus an additional delegation of 16 HP summing up to 232 HP.
How I converted it
- My wallet before the conversion
- Clicked on power up
- Powered up 78 hive
- My wallet after the conversion
With this I have a greater voting power although not much but it's the start of something new.
I have graduated from a Redfish rallier 100. My next target is to get to 500 HP. Don't know how soon but definitely I'll get there.
My current reputation
I was able to make this blog because I completed the following requirements; I have ;
A reputation of 57 which is within the range of the set limit that is 69.99 and 39
Powered up on first of July specifically as asked.
A hive power of 154 and a minimum of 100 is required to qualify.
I have used the #hivepud tag in my post.
I am a Redfish rallier @theterminal. (Not compulsory for other candidates).
Thank you for visiting my blog,
Cheers, @beckie96830
Congratulations, Beckie. I am glad to see you settling in and doing so well!
You were there when she needed it, thank Fiona you rock
Yes she was admin. You also rock by a accepting me
Glad to help where I can. I am not around a lot....
Thank you. You gave me a little push. I'm really glad you did
I am glad. I admit that this initiative also made me analyse my activities and pay to what I was doing to maximise my rewards on the blockchain. It was an interesting exercise and it's also a useful way of tracking your progress. Good luck!
Good luck is all I need.
Thanks you
Cheers
Have a nice day
You handed her off to us. What a nice gesture. Thanks so much for directing her to the right place. She has been a good student, eager to learn. We know she will do well on Hive. Thanks for your encouraging the new members.
Any time. I remember how hard it was to settle in and learn my way around. I would have benefited enormously from The Terminal had it been around them. As I am still not an expert, it's the least I can do when noobs reach out and/or I come across them. It's a no-brainer. I know they are in helping hands...

That's all I need, to take charge and grow.
I guess I got the best hands on deck guiding me and my Redfish 100 colleagues
That’s awesome congrats on such a great power up! It takes a lot of people a pretty long time to achieve what you have done! The great thing is the more hive power you get, the more you will start to earn curation rewards when you vote on posts! It won’t be a lot but it’s better than nothing!
I think I didn’t get to 200 hive power until 3-4 months in so you’re off to an excellent start!
Really liking your progress, I think at this rate you can get to 1,000 hive power by the end of the year!
Wow. Really.
Thank you for your kind words. It's words of encouragement I get from you and others that keeps me going.
I think I'm doing great and I hope to do more. Thank you for visiting my blog.
❤️❤️❤️
Beckie
Wow
You know it is so discouraging making post without earning a dine. I have experienced it so many times.
But i am not giving up.
Congratulations for your success so far. This is so amazing @beckie96830.
Thank you. You too can do more.
Don't ever be discouraged. As long as your posting, commenting and upvoting others, you'll receive the same one day in a bigger way
This is really great and wonderful
Thank you. All the best
A great investment, congratulations😁!
Thank you very much. It's not easy at all but I'm doing little by little
The only thing I see is a positive experience for you! I remember those days of $0.0 on my post. It was hard and I am happy they created a place to learn how to! So much friendlier than getting here and wondering what to do!
You possess a level of understanding and confidence and it will take you far! I am sure we will continue to cross paths and I wish you luck and if you ever need help, don't hesitate to ask, even though I can see you are in capable hands now.
They are the best! Each and every one of them!
Have a wonderful day!

Becky
no problem dear friend @ beckie96830, also you have nothing to thank, it was a pleasure to visit you and comment on your post
have a wonderful week
Hi @beckie96830 see what a little bit can do for you. We only suggested Powering Up your Hive to you knowing it was going to help. Now you can provide a testimonial to others who want to grow their account. You should thank brittandjosie for lobbying for the Redfish to get them included in the HPUD. But sometimes new Redfish have to see others doing it before they will take a step and do the same. So happy you did. AND you won a great prize.
I'm happy for you. I know you will continue to grow. Take care.
Thank you so much ma'am. I'm really grateful that @brittandjosie ensured that we Redfish ralliers participated in the HPUD. And luck shine on me as I won a month delegation. It has really helped me and increased my voting power to vote more.
Thank you very much. I pray to grow stronger every day.
❤️❤️❤️
Becky
you won more than one prize, you won in the hive pud and you got the terminal delegation by kitty and you are still in the running for other prizes, so thats why when give out an assignment its always with a goal, we dont make anything by helping !
Wow. Really. Did I win in the hive PUD. I didn't know if I did. Have they announced the winners?
Thank you very much for everything you've done for us ralliers especially the week's challenges. I can't wait to post my summer edition this evening.
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Becky
