I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #570 - 6,300 HP Today, and a New HP Delegation - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, February 18, 2024

I live naked and barefooted, 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, and I have for more than 5 years now. Although there are many challenges, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

After three days of mostly cloudy and rainy weather, it's a lovely, mostly sunny Monday here in the jungle of far East Big Island, Hawai'i (maybe I spoke too soon, because clouds just moved in again, it rained for a few minutes, then the sun came out again...🤣). I actually, and very thankfully, got some good sleep after my long Hive night of compiling, writing, and finally publishing My 90th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: All Three Weekly Goals Smashed, and 6,300 HP by Tomorrow! post. It still boggles my mind that I've done those reports for 90 weeks straight without missing a week. Holy moly! As it stands now, I'll surpass 6,300 HP by early afternoon today, which is a glorious way to start the new week! Higher and higher I go!

This morning I also made the decision to add another account for HP delegation, @dustbunny, which I'd been meaning to do since the beginning of December. The @dustbunny account is another dust-watching service, like @dustsweeper, to which I also delegate. Once the HP was delegated, I went to their Discord server to add my account to the service. Interestingly, I've been receiving upvotes from @dustbunny periodically pretty much as soon as I arrived on the Blockchain, which is how I first discovered it. Since votes under 0.02 are not paid out, dust services like this are very helpful and useful indeed. This delegation brings the total number of accounts to which I now delegate to 12. The next HP delegations on my list to add are to the various curation accounts from the LOLZ team.

I reached 69.123 Reputation last night, which given how slowly it's rising since I crossed into 69, is quite an accomplishment. Apparently each level is 30% harder, and therefore slower. I can't even imagine how slowly it goes after 75. At my present rate I still have a good probability of reaching 70 Reputation by the end of the year. I've got to write lots of great posts, though!

Also last night, I exceeded 245 HBD in Savings, which is still not a lot, but it's growing at a fairly rapid pace, and with the 4+ HBD in interest that I'll receive in 8 days, I'll easily surpass 250 HBD. Growing this as quickly as I possibly can is still a primary focus, because once I get it past a certain level, the magic of 20% APR, monthly compounding interest, and exponential growth, will get it to a place where the monthly interest exceeds what I could easily use. That's the sweet spot, especially if I'm only using a portion of the interest each month, and the rest just keeps compounding. With a high enough balance, even a drop to 12-15% APR would still yield sufficient monthly interest to be able to further invest in and help grow Hive and the people here, fund projects like Qortal, and to use to live in my daily life. That's a very worthy goal, and one for which I work every day, and not just with HBD, but rather with everything that I do.

Truly, the potentials to generate income and succeed here on Hive are unparalleled in the crypto world. It's all about knowing how to leverage our assets to create ever-greater wealth, and on Hive anybody can do that. Here, we can start with nothing, from scratch, at zero, and over time build and grow our assets to incredible levels. Focus, consistency, and patience are how to do it. Period.

Yesterday, Sunday, was not only the third cloudy and rainy day in a row, but also one that was almost entirely devoted to Hive, as all Sundays have been for a fair while now. I spent it completing all my usually daily Hive tasks, catching up fully on notifications, and of course, compiling and writing my 90th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, as mentioned above. I did take a little time to take photos for this post, strain out and blend kefir, and to make myself some food, too. I got that post published just before 12:15AM, and after sharing it on various platforms and blockchains, I went to bed just before 12:45AM. Super thankfully again I did sleep well, waking up just after 7:15AM, doing a round of token management, completing @benthomaswwd's @heartbeatonhive contest, and then getting out of bed a little after 9AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I attended the Monday Leadership Council meeting from 10:30AM to 12PM, writing part of this post both before and during the meeting. Once the meeting ended, I returned to the Flow House to finish writing it. It's just after 1PM, so a wonderful time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon, to first finish taking photos for this post, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! 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, DeSo, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
