Powering up - Hive PUD December 2022
![Hive pud dec22.png](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/lizelle/23uaPpnvfTBTpY4RDvc8DSr1ZezZxuikEATZTpAu5JEtu7Jqn1Ssij2jwLd6ysiz6rhWm.png)

My year started in isolation as the dreaded new big C hit us with a bang; a forewarning of what was to come. 
Mom Lily left us to go to her *forever home,* leaving a huge void in our lives.

Climate change hit close to home when we had massive landslides right on our doorstep in April, and again in May, causing the loss of lives and buildings crumbling as mud and boulders plowed straight through brick walls as if they were made of paper.   

A freaky and scary [heat burst](https://www.iol.co.za/news/weather/this-is-why-durbans-weather-was-freaky-on-tuesday-night-e5c5b564-7341-4983-8493-567fa59499d1) hit our city in October, something I'd never heard of before; unbelievably strong and fiercely hot winds caused an explosion at a major substation, plunging the entire city into darkness. Many wondered if aliens had landed or if we were facing Armageddon; I was convinced there was a fire close by, that is how hot it was. The strong hot wind disappeared as fast as it came, but we all had an uneasy night.

The ramifications of the April storms are still felt by many, and our tourism industry has been negatively affected. This of course is affecting many guesthouses, but we, fortunately, have bookings from guests coming down to visit family, unlike others who rely on holidaymakers wanting to visit the beaches, which I'm sad to say, have been polluted with sewerage as a result of infrastructure damage during the storms.

Despite all the ups and downs of this year when I had to dip into my little Hive nest egg at times, I can end the year off with a power-up of 200 Hive. 
I am truly thankful to all who support my posts, I would not be able to have grown my 'retirement' nest egg without you.

##### What is Hive PUD all about, and who are the people who keep this awesome initiative alive?

The bizzy Queen Bee of Hive PUD @traciyork, wrote a [post]( https://leofinance.io/@traciyork/announcement-post-hive-power-up-day-july-1st-2021) last year in July, and for those who are new to Hive Power Up Day, this is a brief summary of that post about the Whats and the Whys. 

#### What to do…
We know by now that those who are able, power up their Hive on the first day of the month. If you're powering down, please pause it for the 24-hour span of this day; and of course, do not trade or sell Hive during this period.

#### Why Power Up? 

This briefly is what Traci shared from a blog that @nickeyhavey wrote –

* The more you power up, the more you will earn and the stronger your votes will become.
* You earn passive income by HODLING  your Hive Power.
* You can also earn by delegating your Hive Power. 

There are many initiatives and prizes to be won simply by participating in Hive PUD, and @traciyork keeps tabs on them, so pop over and read all about it in her [POST](https://peakd.com/hive-122221/@traciyork/its-here-hive-power-up-day-for-december-1st-2022).

@hivebuzz has been amazing with their encouragement for Hivers to join Hive PUD, so pop over there and find out how to [Be ready for the last Hive Power Up Month of the year!](https://peakd.com/hive-122221/@hivebuzz/pum-202212)

#### The Power of Three
@fionasfavourites who has tirelessly been supporting and encouraging Redfish, is the inspiration behind *The Power of Three* so pop over to Fiona's [Hive Power Up Day 1 November 2022](https://peakd.com/hive-167922/@fionasfavourites/hive-power-up-day-1-november-2022-rm7bz6) and *read all about it!*
