Hey guys! 😊

How are you?

Here comes the second part of my post. I wanted to do it all in one post but it just got too long. 😄 If you don´t want to read all, skip at least to the last part, where I want to talk about a very important topic for me.

Part 1 of the post is a little review of my year. I showed some pictures of my nice experiences and moments I will keep in my memory.
And also of the music I released in 2024. It was soo much, I was suprised actually! 😱

You can read Part 1 here.

I just found out about this recently and wanted to show you the recap of my year on Hive. I was not as active as in the years before, due to my health.

But I think the result is still very great!

Looks great, doesn´t it?

Thanks alot to my top supporters! <3 @appreciator @balte @threespeak @mary-me @quekery @ocdb @smooms @stoodkev @nfttunz @peakd

Now coming to the outlook and my plans for 2025. ☯️🌞🌴🌮🎵

Of course I still want to put my health first. And work more on what I began last year. More freetime to relax, more meditation and more workout.

Although this is so hard with my chronique fatique syndrom and long covid, I just have to try it. At least I have all doctors appointments done now (it has been like 20 last year 😣) and know that nothing else is wrong. I need to get 2 more infusions, and then I hope I will feel better and be able to workout again. I miss it and I want to get in shape again and don´t want to be exhausted all the time. But it will be a long way. But I just need to start. I can do it. 💪

Other plans for 2025 are of making music, like always. 😄

I am working on the Handpan Lofi album together with my friend @elliptique during these first 2 months of the year. Then it needs to be done because my friend is leaving to see the world for a few months. 😄
It will be tought but I will get it done somehow.
Here is already the first single of our album, if you want to have a look at the style of the music:

Handpan Lofi - Glare & Haze

After that I think it´s time again to make a REAL Raven song. 😍

Typical my style. No matter if it´s right for a label or not. Just ME. It´s time for that kind of special music again. If you know my Raven songs, you know what I mean. 😄

And after that, let´s see. I have always 1000s of ideas and never enough time. Would also love to make more Synthwave music for the Hive game @riseofthepixels. Cause I like the theme of the game and @asgarth is such a nice guy to work with. I hope I can also do this.

But I don´t want to overplan myself already in the beginning of the year. Health needs to come first and so I will see what is doable and what not.

My Hive goals would be to post a little bit more again than last year.

It would be great if I could stack up to 10k (currently 6885) Hive power in total and stake 2k HDB (currently 1105). This is not a fixed goal but it would be great.

The most important goal for this year. And I also see it as my big life mission. 🐕

For me it is important to be able to earn more money. With the things that I love doing, that are fun for me. Music, Art, Gaming, Investing (yeah I am a huge fan of stocks, etfs, bonds, etc.).

But I just don´t want to earn money to have money. I want to use it well.

Of course, a dream is to have my own property with my own music studio and rehearsal room.

This has always been like a dream for me that is impossible to reach. I was always sad that with my health and illnesses, I would never be able to reach it. But that´s bullshit. I believe everybody can reach their goals. It´s all about the inner mindset. I have created enough in my life and I am motivated and smart enough to be able to earn a large amount of money. The last years it was just more as if I would not allow myself to have it. As if on the inside I thought, I am not worthy enough to have it.

Positive thinking is the biggest goal I have for this year. If I tell myself I am worth it, and I can reach a goal, I will reach it! I am convinced about this.

I hope you can also think this way for yourself and benefit from positive thinking.

My own property and studio would give me the freedom of feeling good in my living situation and the possibility of creating even more and more professional music. But it would also open up the space for a very different goal:

▶️ Helping homeless and shelter animals. 🐕 ◀️

This has always been a small and silent wish in the back of my head. But in 2024, it became bigger and louder. And I really want to earn money to make a change. At least for some homeless animals.

I want a house with a big garden, so I can adopt and help at least a few homeless dogs. I also want to donate money to charity organisations in Germany and Europe. 2024 was a year where for the first time I had a little more money than I really needed.

So at the end of the months of 2024, I always donated a little bit to different charity organisations and shelter homes for animals.

Whenever I saw they have an emergency and need money for surgeries or injured and old animals, I donated some money. It was never much, but I believe, if everyone would give a little bit, it would make a big change. So that is what I am doing, and what I will continue to do.

I want to use my Hive incomes to support these charity organisations.

So from now on, I don´t only earn this money for myself here, but for homeless and ill animals.

I am a huuuuuge lover of animals. And I think they can change our whole world. For example my dog has more love to give then any human I´ve ever known. She is honest, kind and always there for me. People who never had a dog might not understand that now, but people who have will...

(How can you not love this? 😄)

Please don´t get me wrong. So many humans are selfish and we think we are the highest evoled species on the world. But at the same time we ruin this beautiful planet with all its nature and animals on it. How can we think we have the right to do that?

I want to give my small piece to make the world a better place.

And if I have more money than I need, I will do that. My motivation to earn alot of money this year is huge because of this! I want to make a difference and I will be able to do it. I just feel it! So I will stick to this positive thinking.

Whether I earn this money with making music, trading, Hive posting and gaming or whatever else. It doesn´t matter.

Actually I am very excited and looking forward to what the year 2025 will bring me. Can´t wait to achieve all my goals and have the life I´ve always dreamed of and help animals. 😍

So whenever you support me now with listening to my music, voting on my Hive posts or whatever else, you will support some homeless dogs and other animals. ❤️

And there is one last thing I want to say:

If you are thinking about getting an animal, why don´t adopt on of a shelter instead of buying it from someone who breeds them?

There are millions of animals that need a home and they will love you forever for rescuing them. Thanks for at least thinking about this option! 🖤

To show you that it is one of the best things on earth to get an animal, here are some pictures of my beloved "Thila". 😘

Thank you for reading all this! I hope you have a great 2025 and that all your dreams and wishes and goals will come true! 🎉☯️

P.S.: Too bad that there is not really a community on Hive about animals. I need to change that. 😄
