I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #553 - A Busy Three Days Ahead - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, February 1, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's a curious thing that activities, or anything really, often come into our experience in clusters, for me ofen in groups of 3. That's the case for me for the next three days, where two aytipical and one usual activity will fill my time. Before I jump into those, however, I wanted to give an update on my two recent wounds, the machete cut from last week, and the wound on the side of my right eyebrow from being hit hard by a branch a few days ago. The machete cut is almost entirely healed, though I still can't move my right thumb in its usual full range of motion. I'm continuing to move and stretch it, so hopefully that will improve soon. The wound over my eye is healing well, and quite quickly, very thankfully, without any sign of infection. Living off grid in the jungle necessitates a strong immune system, bodily durability, and rapid healing, all of which I thankfully possess.

Now on to what will be filling my next few days. The first of the out-of-the-norm activities will be today, after I publish this post, and finish a few important Hive tasks. Melekai had asked me if I could come help her on her boyfriend's recently-purchased land, to find places for, and to plant various important plants that she's been wanting to get in the ground. I think some clearing work might also be part of it, so I'll make sure to bring my machete. I'm grateful that I can remain naked as I work there today.

The next atypical activity to garner my attention will be tomorrow, giving a session to a woman, Nadia, who contacted me yesterday. Both Melekai and Audrey had strongly recommended me to her, which was wonderful to hear. She also told me that she has been wanting to contact me for a session for about a year now, which was also a beautiful surprise to hear. I suggested a phone conversation before the session, since trust is such a huge part of what I do in sessions, and is what allows us to go deeper, which makes everything much more effective. So I'll give her a call right after getting my important Hive things done. This will be the first session that I'll be giving in quite a while. May it be a beautiful and potent one.

The third activity with which I'll be busy is one of my usual ones, my Sunday Hive-focused day, where along with doing my Sunday version of this post, and my usual Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, I'll also, of course, have my 88th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update to compile, write, and publish. It's incredible to think that I've published 88 of them so far in a row without missing a week!

My bit of catharsis yesterday definitely helped to get more moving and reconnecting within me, which of course also draws my attention very clearly to what still needs to be faced, addressed, healed, and integrated. Healing one's self often feels like progressively peeling an onion, getting through one layer at a time, one after the other. It's not quite that simple, as there are multiple interconnected threads to this broken-hearted, dark-night-of-the-soul, healing crisis. One day at a time.

I left the Flow House yesterday just a little after 2PM, focusing first on getting cow food (training newbies to do it did not go as smoothly as I had hoped), which I was able to get done reasonably quickly. After collecting cow-milking food, I did a round of paid work in Ano's nursery, continuing with my thorough weeding job. Once I finished that, I took a shower to sooth fire ant irritation, then I decided to strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend early again. With the kefir done, I went to do more weeding in and around my Coleus beds that are between Tutu's and the fenced garden/Kana's house/the nurseries.

When I finished working for the day, I took another shower, grabbed my leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I was able to get everything done quite early, just before 10PM, and I spent the rest of the night doing some token management, and scanning my feed on X. Regardless of how it seems, there are so many amazing things happening in the world! The Great Awakening is in full swing, and just keeps accelerating, which is brilliant to see! I finally went to bed a little after 11:30PM, and I slept well, waking up just after 7AM, when I did another round of token management, and then I completed @benthomaswwd's @heartbeatonhive contest, before getting out of bed around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's just after 10:30AM, so it's a glorious time to end this post, so that I can get to my essential Hive tasks, before going with Melekai to help her with plants for the day. Oh, by the way, I surpassed 6,200 HP last night, which was pretty nifty to see! I deeply appreciate you all very much! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
