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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I started delegating Hive Power (as well as layer-2 tokens) to various community-curation accounts very soon after arriving on this glorious Blockchain, and in that time I've adjusted, modified, and changed how I do delegations, as I've learned how to better leverage my assets for ever-greater growth. Like most, I began by simply delegating a chunk of HP to particular accounts, without paying much attention to what percentage of my total Hive Power I was delegating. Soon, however, realized that keeping track of the delegation percent was a very useful practice, given how important HP is on Hive.

At first I set my HP-delegation percentage to 1/3 of my total Hive Power, or 33%. I kept it that way for quite a while, then just after doing my massive powerup on the December 1st HPUD, I changed it to 50% delegated, as my ideas around creating Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) became clearer in my mind. I chose 50% because it was an even split between that which benefited me, and that which benefited the Hive community. Of course, there is mutual benefit on both sides, as everything is so interconnected here, but 50% felt like a good balance to me.

Before my giant powerup, the amount of HP that I had delegated to different accounts varied quite a lot. That was also something that I changed just after my mega powerup. That's when I evened out the HP that I had delegated to each account. As my HP continued to grow, and I added new curation accounts to my list of delegations, I would delegate the same amount of HP to the new accounts as I already had for the existing accounts. This has worked quite well up until the present day.

So far I have 12 community-curation accounts, to which I have delegated 285.636 HP (as of this post - the delegated HP rises every day too) to each. The next HP milestone that will allow me to delegate another chunk of HP of the same amount is around 7,100 HP, which I will reach quite soon. Originally I was planning to delegate this new chunk of HP to a new curation account. Now, however, I'm seeing that it would be very helpful to begin delegating these new chunks of Hive Power to certain existing account delegations that provide high-value, yet more-slowly-accruing assets, to help boost my income in said assets. This sounds like a good plan to me, and I intend to keep doing it this way, account after account, using the metric of higher value/slower accruing assets, to choose the next delegation to boost. Eventually I'll even out all the delegations once again, once a solid income flow for desired assets is achieved. As soon as I reach 7,100 HP, I look forward to putting this new method into practice, especially since my income for higher-value/slower-accruing assets from the the boosted accounts will double. That sounds marvelous to me!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after getting my Hive tasks done, just after 2PM, focusing first on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). I wasn't able to take many photos for these posts, unfortunately, as the cloudy weather did not make for very good photographic conditions. As such, I just went into land work, which entailed working with Ano, Zai, and Lizzy (a new woman who arrived on Sunday) to empty the Coco Corral, which was a process of going through a huge pile of older 'shaker' coconuts, to separate dead nuts from the living ones, load the living nuts into the truck, and then drive them over to the coco-sprouting beds, to then distribute them there. There are multiple coco-sprouting beds on the property, as sprouted coconuts are an important food source here. We moved two loads of coconuts, over about two hours. After working, I took a shower, then I returned to the Landing, to make a batch of my spicy seasoned popcorn, that I shared with Zai, over some great conversation. After eating my fill of popcorn, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up fully on my notifications. I got everything on Hive done a little after 11PM, and after a little more token management, and scanning my Bastyon and X feeds, I went to be around 11:30PM. Super thankfully I did sleep well, waking up just after 7:30AM, doing my usual morning round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed just after 8AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee. I took a good round of photos for these posts in the lovely morning sun, which is pretty great.

It's now just after 11AM, so an excellent time to end this post, to get to a few important Hive tasks, and then to prepare for my session with Kula, who will be arriving at 1PM. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

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

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) 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. 

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
