I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #535 - Regardless of Anything, I'm Still Here - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, January 13, 2024

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This morning has not gone well. Not much in my life seems to be working or flowing very well as of late, actually. I'm still here, though, and I'll do everything in my power to maintain my activity on this Blockchain that I love so much, no matter what's happening in my life, or even how I'm feeling. My comittment and dedication to Hive is solid.

While I would have far preferred to share something inspiring and motivating, that's just not where I am today, and I'm not going to lie or create a false image of myself or my life. I'll just do my best to work with what is present at any particular moment. Some days flow pretty well, and others, like today, are more like a clusterfuck.

I have a pretty tight schedule in my day, what I do on Hive being a very significant part of that, so when things that usually work, and should work, either on a Hive front-end or on my computer, stop working, it is very frustrating to say the least. One stupid little thing can slow down or grind to a halt a whole string of important tasks. Yeah, really not fun.

Sometimes when things go awry I have to spend quite a lot of time, time that I don't really have, to make them work again, or at least find a usable backup to do what needs to get done. After I finish this post, that seems to be what I'll be devoting an unknown amount of time to doing; making things work again, that should be working anyway. So this post is not as upbeat, inspiring, or motivating as I want it to be, and for that I apologize to my readers. I'll do better.

I left the Flow House yesterday later than usual, just after 3PM, because before I was done with my essential Hive tasks, I ended up helping Ano carry a large Melochia log to the shop area, and then I assisted him for a short time in de-barking it and one other one. So my time was pushed back a bit. The first thing I did, before land work, was to walk around to take photos for this post. Thankfully the sun came out from behind the clouds until sunset, allowing me to get some pretty good shots. Once photo taking was completed, I collected a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves with my machete for cow-milking food. Ano had asked me for some bodywork, so to make it work in terms of time better, I poured out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend first, then I worked on him for a while, until just after sunset.

After working on Ano, I went to the Landing to collect my leftover food from the Landing fridge, along with some leftover superfood fire coffee, and headed back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on my notifications. I had more to do than usual, so I didn't finish until just after 12AM. As usual, I did a short round of token management, then I went to bed just after 12:30AM. I slept well until 3AM, then unable to sleep further, I stated to do a round of token management, when much to my intense chagrin, the Hive Keychain Android app on my phone lost all of my open browser tabs, and bookmarks, again (it does it periodically, annoyingly), making it necessary for me to re-add them all manually. I tried unsuccessfully to get back go sleep after, so I finally for up around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's almost 1:30PM now, so it's a good time to end this post, so that I can get on to my long Hive Sunday. I have silly issues on my computer to fix, and my 85th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update to put together, write, and publish later tonight. May this day flow smoother than it's been going so far. I deeply appreciate you all very much! Until that post tonight, and the next version of this post tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices. 

3.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again. 

4.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

5.) Continue my work with Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, Bastyon, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, as well as learn relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute. 

6.) Get regular healing sessions with women flowing again. 

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
