Dividend Income August and September 2021

The third quarter of 2021 has ended and I have not been able to update my August figures. Hence, in this post both months August and September are covered. My dividend income was $656 and $808 respectively in August and September. Surpassing the $800 mark is a new dividend income record. Speaking of records: I also hit the $9,000 Projected Annual Dividend Income (PADI) mark. Unthinkable at the beginning of the year.
I deployed about $12k in the last two months into dividend stocks and one growth stock. I added to four existing positions (HPQ, LMT, MRK, BMY) and opened two news ones (AMGN & SJM). Additionally, I bought one share of Amazon.com (AMZN) as a growth and future dividend play.
I also sold one holding of my portfolio as I already announced in the July post: EBIX.

For this year I want to draw a clear plan on how to push my dividend growth portfolio.
