I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #707 - Opening the Faucet on My DRIP Income - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, July 4, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Almost two weeks ago I made my unexpected investment move of using my almost 5,300 SWAP.HIVE, that I had been growing as my trading fund, to buy a large amount of DRIP before the APR change on July 1st, along with sizeable portions of BXT, INCOME, and SORT. With the presently 2,158.954 DRIP staked on my @tydyn.rain account, I receive 0.645 SWAP.HIVE and 0.539 DRIP daily. As of today, with the 73.370 DRIP that I have staked on this account, I presently receive 0.022 SWAP.HIVE and 0.018 DRIP daily.

Before the DRIP APR change, and up until yesterday, I had been using the SWAP.HIVE received on my other account to buy more DRIP, then send that, along with the daily DRIP received there, to this account to stake, because I really wanted to increase my daily SWAP.HIVE income, to make daily operarations easier on this account. Yesterday I shifted things up a bit, to begin growing my DRIP holdings on both accounts, because in doing so, I'm basically opening the faucet ever more on my daily DRIP income, both in SWAP.HIVE and DRIP, which allows me to grow my account ever faster.

What I did yesterday, and what I'll do moving forward for a good while, is to stake the 0.539 DRIP received on my other account there, use the 0.645 SWAP.HIVE received to buy more DRIP, then send that to this account, to stake, along with the 0.018 DRIP received here. This modus operandi now allows me to slowly increase my DRIP income on both accounts, which is excellent. Even though the amounts are still quite small, with the magic of compounding interest and exponential growth on my side, I know that I'll be able to grow holdings of DRIP, and therefore my daily drip income, substantially over time.

As the daily flow of my DRIP income, and therefore the liquidity that I have available to grow in other areas, like income tokens, diesel/liquidity pools, and my trading fund, increases, the steps that I'm able to take on my road to Whale 🐳 Level also grow larger. This has the effect of creating steady, strong growth on a daily basis, and allowing for the possibility of major leaps over time. That sounds like a great dynamic to me!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little after 1:30PM. I felt drawn to the sun, so I sunbathed on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for while. After getting my fill of sun, I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. When kefir was done, I got a wheelbarrow, went to my nursery, and loaded up my 5 young banyan tress (of two different species), then transported and carried them up to the Kuti, to stage them for planting in the adjacent jungle. After staging my trees at the Kuti, I took a shower (I got good and sweaty), then I rested for a short time up at the Flow House, before sharpening my machete and clearing to and around my Chinese/Vietnamese weeping banyan at the end of the road, where it meets the lava wall. When I was done clearing, I took another shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and made my way back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on notifications. For the first time in three days (@borniet took a break...lol) I was able to catch up fully on my notifications, finishing just before 10:15PM. I spent a bit more time engaging and posting on Waves, checking my Bastyon and X feeds, then going to bed around 12AM. I thankfully slept well, waking up around 8AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 12:15PM, so a splendid 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 photos for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest, maybe take more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Shadow Hunters post later today, and the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go!

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
