I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #735 - Boundless Gratitude for Hive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, August 1, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When I first discovered and onboarded myself to Hive, something clicked inside me, I took to Hive like a fish to water, and I've been passionately all-in for the long haul ever since. The gratitude that I feel for this exceptional Blockchain, and its incredible community, is inexpressively immense, and grows more so every day.

The fact that we can come here for free, share our authentic and unique magic on the Blockchain, and then be rewarded for it, allowing us to surmount local economic conditions by building our own wealth outside of the control of banks or governments, is absolutely priceless! As we grow here, our ability to help others, also grows, and help others we very much do, not only because of the intrinsic design of Hive, where we need to help each other to grow, but also because of the great individual kindness and generosity of our fellow Hivers.

I have as much loyalty to the Hive Blockain itself as I do to the truly amazing people that give it life for me every day, as we quicken each other's growth with our daily interactions. Gratitude, loyalty, commitment, dedication, love, and care are what I have for this life-changing sovereignty-driven Blockchain and its community of buzzy bees.

As my weight on Hive grows, I intend to use that ever-increasing influence to boost and lift the Blockchain and everyone on it as much as I possibly can, as an expression of the gratitude and love that I feel. Imagine if we all did that, orienting our Hive activities by the principle of Maximum Mutual Benefit (MMB), for the good of one and all.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House around 1:30PM, after finishing my afternoon Hive rounds, straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) as my first task. Lizzie and I shared sweet moments of connection interspersed through the day, both in working and playing with each other. I took a few more photos for these posts just before meeting up with Lizzie to go up on the roof of Power Sharing/the outdoor showers to help her clean the solar panels. After getting half of the panels clean, I took a shower, then returned to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 178 - Anthurium Reflections post. After getting my post published, I met up with Lizzie again in the Landing (that she transformed with her mad cleaning skills) to make her dinner, my kickass cheeseburgers. She was enthralled, much to my happy delight. After Lizzie and I shared some lovely time sharing food and conversation, Zai came in to make popcorn. We were finishing up our meals, and much to my surprise, Lizzie asked if I could cook her another burger patty from the spiced-and-seasoned ground beef that I still had left. I had enough meat for 2 patties, so I cooked one up for Zai too, who wanted to try my cooking. When the burgers were done, Zai, Lizzie, and I shared some really fun and enjoyable conversation as they ate. I have no idea how Lizzie could possibly eat two burgers, as they weren't small, and she's not big...lol. After food and conversation, Lizzie and I spend the rest of the night talking, laughing, playing, flirting, dancing, and even wrestling over at the space where she's staying at La'a Pueo, with a short visit to the Flow House. We got to bed very late, so I did not sleep well, but I still felt great waking up next to Lizzie. After we got out of bed, I helped her clean her space and sort some clothes to give away. Soon I made my way to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee for myself, Lizzie, Sperry, and Soozi.

Lizzie went cocoing with Ano today, so she'll be gone all day, not returning until after dark. I told her that I'll have a yummy meal waiting for her when she returns from her long day of work. She asked me if I was up for another dance party tonight. Oh my, yes, I think that this can be arranged. Oh, by the way, to give Lizzie my full attention in the evening, I skipped Hive once again, so with Lizzie gone today, I'll catch up on Hive as much as I can before I make her dinner. I do have to strain out and blend kefir and collect cow food, as well as possibly some other land work, probably weeding in the fenced garden. It's now just before 1:30PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, and everything else just mentioned. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! 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.
