I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community (GaiaYoga Gardens), way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I love my life, and I'm immensely grateful to live where and how I do, on my own terms! I would not want to live any other way! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I reached and exceeded 6,000 HP early yesterday afternoon, which was another marvelous Hive milestone achieved. Now I have to see if I can get to 10,000 HP (my goal for 2024) before the end of the year! It's going to take some work, and likely some creative ingenuity, to do it! 4,000 HP in one year is a lot, but I believe I can do it! We'll see what sort of magic I can do in that time!

Since I've been gaining 1,000 HP about every six months, I'm definitely going to have to up my game a bit it would seem! To be able to reach 10,000 HP by the end of the year, barring unexpected miracles, I would have to consistly make at least 333.333 HP every month until the end of the year! Yipes!

I learned the other day that @hivehustlers and the HUSTLER token are shutting down, which is a little sad and frustrating, in part because I had quite a lot of HUSTLER, which I had acquired because it paid out COM tokens when staked. So now that HUSTLER is dead, the only two ways to acquire COM tokens now are to have assets in the SWAP.HIVE:LIST diesel/liquidity pool, which thankfully I already do, and to delegate HP to @hivelist, which is now on my list of future delegations. I've always loved the COM token because it pays out SWAP.HIVE daily, which really comes in handy! With the HUSTLER token now being dead, I'm unstaking all that I have and selling it, to hopefully make back at least some of my investment.

Keeping sufficient liquidity in HIVE and SWAP.HIVE is something of paramount importance, and which has also been a very notable challenge. This is why I've come to really appreciate income tokens like BXT, which pays out daily in HIVE, and COM, which as I mentioned above pays out daily in SWAP.HIVE. Boosting my holdings of both of these tokens is a high priority, because they provide the most long-term consistent passive income of HIVE and SWAP.HIVE that I've discovered so far. BBH is a great token too, but so far it only pays out SWAP.HIVE once per week, on Saturdays, though I know that Bradley plans on doing daily payments at some point. BRO and LGN are both excellent tokens that pay out daily in HIVE, but I don't have enough of either yet to make much difference, though my holdings of both do continue to grow every day.

What are your favorite dependable income tokens that pay out in HIVE or SWAP.HIVE?

Adapting, adjusting, improvising, improving, and refining are all part of the constant process of optimizing our assets and how we use them here on Hive. It's never completed or done, as things are always changing! This holds true as much in our lives as it does on Hive. It is essential that we never depend on only one source of income (or anything else, for that matter), but rather build multiple income streams, both active and passive. Thankfully on Hive this is easy, as there are so many diverse ways to generate income, so we can jump from one to another as needed. This is exactly what I've been doing over the past 2+ years with my Hive Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine, and it seems to have served me quite well!

I left the Flow House just after 2PM yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing my essential Hive tasks. The light was not ideal for photography, due to all the clouds, so I split my photo taking for this post both before and after collecting a wheelbarrow full of cow-milking food. After taking photos and collecting cow food, I gave some time and attention to determining what I would need, and collecting various items for, beginning to make my medicinal teas again. This mostly entailed finding several half-gallon Mason jars with sealable lids, and also another large bowl. I had a bit of impetus to get back into making my medical teas, which is something that I had wanted and intended do anyway, because Sperry has a bit of a staph infection on his leg (very common here), and the most effective thing I've ever found for it are my teas. So I'll likely be collecting various plants, and preparing them, to make another round of these amazing teas, sometime in the next day or two. Sadly I wasn't able to get to any other land work done yesterday, but getting my tea production flowing again was important, so it took precedence.

After working, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself food, then I headed back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications. I had an unexpected call from Braja to go get some items that she had picked up for me during the town run down at Tutu's. Aside from collecting my own things to bring back to the Landing, I also ended up delivering a full propane tank to the dryer, and hooking it up, along with a few other small tasks. Once the unexpected work was done, I returned to the Flow House to get back to my Hive tasks, which took me until just after 11:30PM to complete. After a short round of token management, I went to sleep just before 12AM. I slept well, waking up around 7:30AM, doing another quick round of token management, then getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just past 1:30PM, so it's a great time to end this post, so that I can get on to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first take photos for tomorrow's version of this post, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power Android Phone.

Thank you all so much who have helped me get to where I am today, and allowing me to share more of the beauty and magic from my life and my world with you, and for your continuous appreciation and support! I am truly deeply grateful! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
