Hello friends and Hivians. Here we are it's 1 August and couple of things I will share and do today. First off happy 4th birthday to the Loving Hive Community and happy #HPUD to all. So today I first will share what was the first moment I fell in love with Hive ❤️ Than will follow it up with something many of us do is participate in Hive Power Up Day.
So there is an ongoing initiative going on in the Loving Hive Community headed by @rutablockchain. It's an opportunity to tell your story about when you first fell in love with Hive. To check out his post about it click here. I now take this opportunity to invite 3 friends to this initiative and they are: @pinkchic @lhes and @asiaymalay. I was invited by @jlufer to take on this initiative.
It didn't take long to really appreciate this platform. I can remember writing my introduction article and receiving so much encouragement. Not only just all the welcomes but lots of useful information was provided to me. Some I knew from a previous platform that I use to blog in. I'd say I got my first butterflies for Hive from participating in my first Hive Power Up Day.
I found it very interesting to see so many people writing articles on the first day of the month. I also got involved in the competitions that were held on that particular day. Some were intiatives held on the chain while others were communities offering something through Dischord. They really helped me build my Hive Power starting out as a little fish. Getting rewards, assigned votes, and hive delegations really made it a no brainer to grow my HP share here. I also had three or four generous users that powered me up early on in my Hive journey.
I can't go on without mentioning two particular contests on Hive Power Up Day. The first I will mention is the Power of Three. Three lovely ladies made up this initiative and they are all part of the Silver Bloggers Community as well. A community I was a little late joining but so glad I did. There hard work aimed to encourage new users on the Hive platform to power up on HPUD. I was very honored to be one of the authors who received 100 HP delegations from each them, not just for one month but two months consecutively.
The other HPUD initiative was headed by @traciyork and some other behind the scenes users. This was a competition that rewarded users who powered up the most hive based on their account percentage on HPUD with just one exception, you had to have a reputation level under 70. The reward pool contained so many prizes and so many users were involved in gifting them. I think I almost always finished somewhere between the numbers that gave rewards. A few times I finished up towards the top.
Both of these intiatives really started my love for Hive. I became friends with some of the contestants as well so it not only helped with my HP stake it gave me a few more connections. I quickly noticed on the platform through engaging there are many different cultures, users from anywhere imaginable, people of all ages, and a good mix of gender. All of this has no bearing on the respect between users which really is remarkable. What's not to love ❤️ about that. It's too bad these principles can't be applied throughout the globe between every country outside the chain. So there you have it I found my love for Hive through HPUD and since my first power up I haven't missed a single one.
Here we are it's HPUD and I again will be showing my love yet again to Hive by powering up 200 hive. But that's not all I'm going to do. I have also decided to power up two new users. Showing them some love in hopes that they will have the same love for Hive that I have.
With my power up today I'm a bit over 200 HP away from reaching 5K which should most likely happen by the next HPUD. Hopefully by years end I will reach 6K. Also this month I completed HPUM for the third consecutive month. It's something fun & challenging and I'm happy to reach this achievement again. One last thing is I now hold a reputation of 70. It seemed I was at 69 for what seemed like forever.
Well all things must come to an end and that's all I have for you today. Take care, stay safe and enjoy the rest of your week. Until next time!

Good morning dear friend @coolmidwestguy
Thank you so much for accepting and participating in the invitation.
You are doing a great job in our company. Congratulations
I appreciate you letting us know the things that have made you fall in love with #hive
Have a great day
Thank you friend. No problem, it's a good initiative and it just happened to fall on the day I love the most on Hive 😊
Congratulations, you are doing great here Bob!
Btw I am interested in asking questions about every state in America because I'm dreaming of working there someday as a teacher. Not now, takes time, but I'm interested to teach in America's countryside. 🇺🇲
Thanks Sydney 😊
Willing to answer those questions especially those States I have visited. We can call it knowing 50 states in 50 days, hehe..
Hoping this dream comes true for you. The thought of working abroad sounds exciting. Take care and have great week ahead 😁

I am very fascinated with the American culture. I love the countryside, I want to work someday in Oregon, Arizona, West Virginia. And also I want to visit the Appalachian mountains. 😂
This video is my inspiration. 🇺🇲❤️

Great places to visit. Been to Arizona beautiful landmark and formations there. The Grand Canyon is an absolute must visit. Seen a few times 😁 I know someone here (Hive) from the Philippines who's niece is going there teach, might be there already. Seen the Appalachian mountains for the first time in Kentucky. West Virginia is a great state as well I have some cousins that live there. I haven't been to Oregon but I know it offers many wonders of nature.
Got to get ready for work I'll have to check out the clip a bit later 😁
They said the Appalachian mountains is haunted.
It definitely can portray many things and has its own lure to it. Oh the big foot sightings as well but that is every mountainous area here. I still yet to see one 🙈 😂
Haha once I'll get to America I'll search for a big foot and I'll tell you once I'm there so I won't be lost 😂

Wow, so consistent with HPUD. I missed the power-up last Aug 1 as I was on a short holiday. XD
Yes HPUD is something that just is engraved in my mind, haha. It's great to be back on track with HPUM. The last few days have been hard as I have been pretty darn busy. A matter a fact I just powered up a few hours ago, almost failed already, haha.
That's great. :)
Nicely done! Much stronger than mine was this round! I remember being stuck at 69 forever and a day, and then suddenly I was 70! Just recently hit 71 which was really nice. 80 sure looks a long way off though...
It's great to see progress on Hive, I've become a lot more consistent with posting lately which has made a big difference. The problem is finding the time and interesting subject matter to keep producing. When you're a father it eats up a lot of your free time, now that I'm an empty nester and single I more free time to do what I want to. The funny thing is now I feel busier than ever!
I hope you have a productive weekend at at least get a line in the water!
!PIMP
You must be killin' it out here!
@thebighigg just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @coolmidwestguy.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.
Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District
Yes 69 did take forever and a day. I here you on the father part, hehe. I too look to be more productive here but just having setbacks that prevent it. We can't multi task everything so I often come in spurts when it's possible. Yeah it's freaking hot and it wasted no time getting there this morning either.
Your engagement is great, congratulations!🤗 Hive is a community that changes life for the better and brings us small joys as we share experiences from different parts of the world. I love Hive and I hope that will live with all of us for many years to come
Thanks @jelenna. I totally agree with you it's great to get different perspectives and see different things from across the globe
Woah you have a lot of HP now, congrats!
Thanks it can accumulate pretty fast by just holding it 😊 Another thing to love about Hive is the bigger we get the faster we grow 😊
Agree with you, do you also delegate?
Yes I do some delegating but my approach is to keep it at 20% or less. I do this so I can still provide something worthy in my opinion in the form of a vote.
That's nice!
I mostly delegate my HP for now because I see it as more profitable than voting as I only have few HP.
Thank you 😊
So many different ways to delegate. It all depends on many factors and we all have different perspectives. Whatever way suites a particular user good is best 😁
You did great job on this platform! I really apreciated your hard work especially your engagement 😊
Thank you @anggreklestari. Engaging is made easy when you find interesting, caring and amazing people 😁
Thank you for participating. Hive would be better if all users showed love for it as you do.
Lovinghive ❤️
Thank for stopping by and for the wonderful comment 😁
WOW!!! 200 is huge! That's so amazing! And you really tagged 3 of the beautiful ladies of Hive 😅 You really know~ LOL
Happy HPUD!
Thanks Witty. Three great ladies, I'd lump you in with them too. 😁
Happy HPUD to you! Have a great rest of your day.
Wow. You saved a lot for this month hehe ..
I guess I started loving Hive because of the different writing contests I joined back then. I was also motivated by some individuals who constantly engaged in the platform. Moreover, there are a lot of communities here to join and enjoy interacting with other members.
Congrats on your PU..
