I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #571 - Over Two Years of Posting 1-3 Times Each Day - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, February 19, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As February winds down I look back in utter amazement from the fact that I've published 1-3 posts every single day since February 1, 2022, so for over two years at this point! That's incredible even to me! I have no clue for how long I'll be able to keep going with this posting streak, but every day it just continues to flow, even if some days I've had to bend heaven and earth to make it happen!

One of the most challenging aspects of publishing posts daily over such an extended period of time, which anyone who has attempted to do so knows, is finding the inspiration to come up with things about which to write each day. Some days posts almost write themselves with how easefully it flows, which other days seem to require a bit more focus, commitment, and determination. I sometimes sit, feeling and thinking into what to write, for an hour or more. In the end, though, I always seems to be able to jump start the creative spark around something.

Some days I am able to finish writing, and publish my posts very early, which by far my preference, while other days it's more of a race against the clock (2PM my time is the cut off point), with me getting my posts published in the nick of time. I know some people on the Blockchain that plan out what they're going to discuss in their posts days ahead. While I'd love to be able to do that, I usually come up with my writing topics the same morning that I have to write my posts. Thankfully, in the end, something always comes to me, and my posts always get published on time.

Since I've only been on Hive for 2 years and just about 5 months now, that means that for most of my time here that I've been publishing posts every day. That's a pretty nice track record! My commitment and dedication to this Blockchain, and to writing on it daily, seriously blows my mind! Why do I do it? Well, partly it is because Hive is a personal business to me, and to build, grow, and save, especially to the levels where I want to get, requires daily focused efforts. The other main reason that I do it is because it is a challenge to me, and one that inspires and motivates me enough to commit to it fully. Hive is a special opportunity that I took solidly with both hands, and I'm riding it to the stars!

I left the Flow House yesterday, Monday, a little after 2:30PM, putting my focus first on taking the rest of the photos for this post (I had already taken several in the morning). Once I finished taking photos, I decided to strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend early again, so I did that before land work. With that done, I stopped by Sperry's place to drop off a quart of my kefir blend for him. I ended up sharing a great conversation with him and his newly-arrived partner, Susie, for over an hour. I finally bid my good byes, to try to get some land work done before the sun went down. The first thing that I did was to collect several coconut fronds to lay on top of the soil in the triangular planting area in front of first driveway of GaiaYoga Gardens, to deter the wild pigs from thrashing it, which they had begun to do. After finishing that task, I grabbed my machete and cleared around several young trees that I had planted months ago in the pasture area in the back of the property, and in one area in the front, near the Flow House.

With work done for the day, I took a shower, then I made food for myself in the Landing. While I usually choose not to attend, I decided to go to the Monday logistics meeting from 6:30PM to around 8:30PM. I worked to get as much done on Hive as I could while I was there, so that I wouldn't be up too late doing so afterward. When the meeting ended, I put leftover food in the Landing fridge, grabbed my quart of my kefir blend, and then I headed back to the Flow House, to continue with catching up on my Hive notifications, which took me until just after 11:30PM to complete. After doing a quick round of token management, I went to end just after 12AM. I did not sleep as well as I would have liked, sadly, waking up after 9AM still feeling tired. Because it was so late, I went to make my superfood fire coffee post haste.

I did a little more token management just before beginning on this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a very good time to end this this and get it published, so that I can get 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 so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
