Temre man

2021 got off to an amazing start. I set out my goals , started posting on Hive daily and then... work hit me. As some of you may know, I run an Social Media agency and we have a saying in Surinamese 'Temre man oso no abi bangi'. Literally translated meaning, 'The carpenter doesn't have a bench at home'.. which means, I help others to create an online presence, while neglecting my own. After 3 weeks of posting, it has been 3 weeks without a single post and over 400 unread notifications. In the meantime, $Hive hit $0.40, my upvotes are at an ATH (but I'm not using them) and all I have done was helping a little bit with the #hivechat and maintaining my DCity.

Making it up

While @HiveChat has already passed half a year of weekly Tweetchats, I'm been slipping off on Hive. Rarely engaging and responding to mentions and comments. Not curating as much as I want to and just slowly slipping away.

The main reason I also felt that I needed to write a #hivetorch post is because I feel I messed up and I have to make it up. With the Hive Torch comes responsibility and as it is a community initiative, those involved should follow through on being part of the community.

I realized that I haven't handed out the HivePud delegation prizes for awhile. So, to the deserving winners @awah, @farm-mom, @the-bitcoin-dood, @desro and @nikoleondas: congrats!! I have delegated 100 HP to you and because of the long wait, the delegation will run for 5 weeks instead of 3.

Passing the torch

So, a couple of days ago I found out on Twitter that the Hive Torch had been passed on to me by @fionasfavourites and only today, after reading more into it, I found out it was to passed around as soon as possible. As I feel I have kept on to it long enough, I'm passing it on to @tanjakolader, whom I know will take good care of it and will pass it on as well. As I do want to follow the rules (originally wanted to add more than 1 Hive), I'm putting in .597 Hive, to represent my country Suriname.

I want to thank Fiona for the opportunity and wishing Tanja a lot of luck with the Hive Torch. Looking forward to seeing the count hit 333.
