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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

For pretty much my entire time here on Hive I've been collecting all manner of income tokens, most in small amounts, with some reaching more respectable and useful levels. With my recent experiences of having to reallocate assets multiple times due to various layer-2 projects failing, ending, and being seemingly abandoned, I've learned to become a tad more discerning and picky about which layer-2 projects into which I invest my resources. With this in mind, I've been wanting to sell certain tokens that used to be useful to me, but have basically just been sitting in it wallet collecting dust for a while now, and then use the SWAP.HIVE to buy other far more useful, dependable, and reliable income tokens. That's what I finally decided to start doing today.

I began by selling the 116+ INDEX tokens that I had, which gave me 15+ SWAP.HIVE, which I then used to buy almost 6 DRIP and over 9 DBOND tokens. Not a lot, but it gave be a good bit more of both than I had. I wanted to buy some INCOME tokens too, but they were a bit on the expensive side, so I held off on those for the moment. I'd like to get more BXT and BBH soon as well. In my purchases today, I focused on the tokens that I could not get by delegating HP to a particular account.

Of the income tokens that I am able to receive from delegating Hive Power, and that have been quite solid and dependable, BRO, COM, DBOND/DABS, EDS, LGN, and LOLZ (pays daily in multiple tokens from their various layer-2 curation accounts, but not HIVE or SWAP.HIVE) are at the top of my list. I'm giving SORT a try too, which is a perpetual lottery ticket for numerous raffles each year, as well as paying out HIVE/SWAP.HIVE once per month, so we'll see how that goes.

I have another chunk of HP that I recalled from a presently mostly-inactive project, that will be available to redelegate tomorrow. At the moment, unless another curation account, that provides solid benefits, comes into my awareness, I'll choose @lolzbot for the redelegation. I already have the same amount of HP delegated to @lolz.curate, so my daily LOLZ income will receive another good boost. I'm rather high on the LOLZ rich list, and I'm rising quite quickly, so this will help speed up that process nicely. My Hive investment focus moving forward, as I've been mentioning in my recent posts, is on Hive Power and HBD in Savings in layer 1, and select diesel/liquidity pools and income tokens in layer 2. Hive's got some wild waves, so we gotta learn how to surf!

After leaving the Flow House yesterday, Thursday, a bit after 2:30PM, I put my attention first on straining out the second round of my batch of medicinal tea, that I described in yesterday's post, and then adding the third and last round of hot water, for one final steeping. Once I was done with my tea, I stained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), took more photos for these posts, took the trash and recycling in the Landing to Woddstock (where it's kept until it can be taken to town), put more gas in the generator, then I did some more machete clearing work on the second driveway and near the Landing. With work done, I took a shower, then I strained out the third and last round of my medicinal tea blend, mixed all three rounds together in one of my giant stainless-steel pots, then poured the mixed tea into 9 half-gallon Mason jars, and finally put the jars in the Landing refrigerator. I ended up with 4 1/2 gallons of tea, which is not bad at all, and should last me for several days. As I was finishing with my medicinal tea, Iolanthe came to look for me to see if I'd hang out with her, which I did end up doing for a little while. After spending time with Io, I returned to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on my notifications. Since I did a little more catching up on the afternoon, I was able to finish with everything on Hive by exactly 10:30PM. After scanning my Bastyon and X feeds, I went to bed just before 12AM. Sadly I was not able to sleep at all. Nothing. Nada. Drinking my medicinal tea at night just does not work, as it is such a strong diuretic that I end up having to get up to go pee way too many times. After lying in bed all night unable to sleep, I finally just started with token management on Hive just before 5AM, then after beginning on this post, I got out of bed a little after 7:30AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just after 12:30PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, take more photos for these posts, then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.
