I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #695 - Initial Assessment of Yesterday's Investment Decision - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, June 22, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In yesterday's post I recounted how, with a rather unexpected investment decision, I used the almost 5,300 SWAP.HIVE that I'd been growing as a trading fund, to buy 624.355 BXT, 2,158.414 DRIP, 22.628 INCOME, and 50.331 SORT tokens. The DRIP was staked on my @tydyn.rain account, with all of the other tokens being sent to this account, and the was BXT staked. I staked the DRIP on my other account to provide a daily passive-income source for SWAP.HIVE, which will be used for continued trading, and to buy more income tokens. The BXT was staked on this account to boost my daily passive HIVE income, which will be used to power up on the first of each month for HPUD. SORT adds an element of wonderful surprises, being a perpetual-lottery token, that gives me an entry for every 10 held, in three weekly drawings for various useful assets. I didn't really have to buy the INCOME tokens yesterday, but I really wanted to get ahold of some, so I took the opportunity to do so.

After my major financial decision, I ran a new batch of numbers, to see what I would likely receive in daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly income, based on the new token quantities. As of this morning, I've received dividend payouts from BXT, DRIP, and INCOME, and my income extrapolations were accurate, and actually slightly under for BXT. On my @tydyn.rain account, I received 0.645 SWAP.HIVE and 5.396 DRIP tokens, for the 2,158.414 DRIP that I had staked. That means I'd receive 4.518 SWAP.HIVE per week, 18.07 SWAP.HIVE per month, and 216.84 SWAP.HIVE per year, if I maintain the number of tokens staked the same. That's reasonable income for trading and new income-token acquisitions. The 5 DRIP that I received, I sent to this account, and staked. In this income analysis, I'm not counting the DRIP tokens staked on this account, that will be used to fund diesel/liquidity pools.

For the 650.048 BXT staked on this account, I received 0.540 HIVE, so a bit over half a HIVE per day, which means that I'd receive 3.78 HIVE per week, 15.12 HIVE per month, and 181.44 HIVE per year. That will be a very nice boost to my Hive Power over time.

I received 0.05 HIVE for the 22.628 INCOME that I now have. This is my first payout for holding INCOME, but it seems like it's on a daily schedule. This means that I'd receive 0.35 HIVE per week, 1.4 HIVE per month, and 16.8 HIVE per year. Not huge, but it definitely helps, plus I'm pretty sure that there are other benefits for holding INCOME, aside from the daily HIVE payouts. Overall I'm pretty happy with the decision that I made to use my trading fund to buy a solid stock of income tokens, though I am a little disappointed that I likely won't be able to boost my HP and HBD in Savings as much as I would have liked, and it's also now probable that I won't reach my yearly goals of 10,000 HP and 500 HBD in Savings. With the choice that I made, I created more liquidity and traction in the short term, to be able to further, and more consistently, accelerate my growth long term.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, around 12:30PM. I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, as I usually do. After kefir, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. Melekai had invited me to go with her and Iolanthe to the Trading Post, our local jungle-neighborhood, free market that happens every Saturday. While I used to go to the Trading Post often to sell plants, I hadn't been there in almost 2 years. I decided to take Melekai up on her offer. When I arrived, I saw many people that I knew, including Hope, an amazing woman that I had known for pretty much my entire time on the Island, and that I also hadn't seen in almost 2 years. It was really wondeful seeing and reconnecting with her again. While I was there, I bought a fantastic vegan pizza (I'm not vegan), that I used to buy when I came regularly, and two glasses of Hope's incredible mead. Hope is a bee whisperer, who has a loving, gentle relationship with the many bees that she keeps, and while I'm a naked gardener, she's a naked beekeeper, taking her honey art to a whole new level. Hope also loves and appreciates nakedness and being naked as much as I do, and is a radiant light for body-acceptance and body-positivity. Before we left, Hope gave me an incredibly sweet gift, a calendar that she had produced (I hadn't seen it yet) of a sisterhood of local naked goddesses covered in honey. The whole calendar was a work of art, elegant and beautiful. When I asked her why she was giving me this gift, she told me that it was a 'thank you' for the space that I hold for the feminine, and the work that I do with women in my sessions. Words cannot express my gratitude. After we returned to GaiaYoga Gardens, I took Iolanthe to Shiva-Shakti, as she wasn't feeling well, so that she could lay down, and then I collected my quart jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive rounds, only slightly later than usual. I got everything done on Hive by just before 9:15PM. After some time spent engaging on Waves, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed just before 12AM. I woke up about 6:45PM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, 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 12PM, 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, perhaps take more photos for these posts, and then, being Sunday, back to Hive. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, we go, 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.
