I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #690 - Whaleward, Ho! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, June 17, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My first several months on the Blockchain were spent getting my bearing, learning about the Ecosystem, and coming to understand how everything worked, with lots of research, exploration, experimentation, error correction, and refinement, as I figured things out and got clarity on how best to Hive. This initial stage laid the foundation for me to be able to build, grow, and save in an ever-more efficient and effective manner, as I locked my sights on the lofty heights of Whale level. After this beginning phase of my Hive journey, once I had fully gotten and understood Hive's mind-blowing potential, my focus became absolutely solid on growing my account as quickly and as much as I was able, and hence began my being the super active buzzy Hive bee that I am today.

This shift into overdrive happened around the same time that I made the commitment to publish at least 1-3 posts (with 100% HP payout) every day, on February 1, 2022, and I have not faltered to this day. Since this time I have not only maintained my daily posting cadence, but I've also became one of the top most active accounts on the Blockchain. First there was the Hive Engagement League, where I began to appear near the top. I maintained my position there until the HEL finally ended (after many years of operaration), being the last individual at the #1 spot.

Then came the Ecency Leaderboards and @melinda010100's wondeful initiative to rewards those who made it into the top ten, and especially the top three. I've been in the top ten, and often in the top three, for quite a good amount of time now. I may go up or down in the list a little from week to week, but I never go far.

Now I've been recruited into the ranks of @zakludick's Busy Bee initiative and community, which is a great honor for me, and all for doing what I do every day on the Blockchain anyway! It's kind of like a mutually-supportive high-activity group, and it's just getting going, being on the lookout for more strongly-engaged, highly-active, Hive-loving buzzy bees to join the fun! My drive to grow on Hive is equally for myself and for everyone else on the Blockchain. On my irrevocable path to Whale level, I intend to create as much Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB) as I possibly can, to help nudge others on their way to whalehood. I want to help create a huge pod of whales, so that's how I actuate here every day! Whaleward, ho!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House a bit later than usual, around 2:45PM, after wrapping up my Hive tasks. I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, as I usually do, before getting into anything else. The weather was not cooperative for photography, so I focused on other things. I used a reciprocating saw to remove the branch compliments on a few mid-sized bamboo culms, before storing them for future use. I also headed to my nursery, which drastically needs weeding, to collect a couple plants to put in the ground, a rarer-species of chacruna and a curry-leaf shrub. After planting them in their respective spots, I took a shower, cleaned the sink in the Landing, then I made a big bowl of my spicy seasoned popcorn. After nibbling on popcorn for a while, I grabbed my quart jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to start on my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. There was a community Logistics from meeting from 6:30PM to about 8:30PM, that I attended, thankfully being able to continue with my Hive tasks and catch-up through most of it. After the meeting ended, I returned to the Flow House to continue on Hive. I got everything done on Hive around 11:30PM, and after a little engagement on Waves, I went to bed around 12AM. I did thankfully sleep well, waking up a bit later than usual, just before 9AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 1:30PM, so an excellent 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, maybe take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
