I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #746 - Some of My Favorite Hive Initiatives and Contests - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, August 12, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Being the very buzzy Hive bee that I've been for the past almost 3 years now on Hive, I've been involved in a dazzling array of diverse projects, contests, and initiatives in my time here. So many have come, remained for a time, then gone, which makes me appreciate the ones that have remained and endured for most or all of my time on the Blockchain. Presently there is a handful of such initiatives, projects, and contests with which I engage each week, as a part of my weekly schedule. I don't add new ones until I am able to manage those with which I engage at any particular time, well.
One excelllent initiative, with which I've been involved for most of my time on the Blockchain, is the Saturday Savers Club, designed to help Hivers with their growth and savings goals. Each week, @shanibeer, using the @eddie-earner account, publishes the weekly Saturday Savers Club post, where engagement is encouraged and rewarded HSBI and EDS tokens. Every week after publishing my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, and once a month after publishing my HPUD post, I share the link(s) to my post(s) in the comments of the most recent Saturday Savers post. Doing so not only gives me a chance to receive some HBSI shares, possibly some EDS, but it also allows for the possibility of my post being selected for the Saver of the Week iniative (run by @hoosie on the @eddie-earner account), which is part of the Saturday Savers Club, which has benefits of its own (HSBI and a portion of the payout from the Saver of the Week post where my post was mentioned).
Another iniative that I love is @melinda010100's weekly (on Mondays) Ecency Top Engagers, where she rewards the most active accounts on the Ecency Leaderboard, 3 HIVE and 500 Ecency Points for those in the top 3, and 2 HIVE and 300 Ecency Points for those anywhere else in the top ten. The great thing about this initiative is that all I have to do to be included is to simply do what I do every day, getting through my voluminous notifications. Just doing that always places me in the top ten, and very often in the top three as well.
@zakludick's Busy Bees initiative, of which I only became a part recently, and which is still in its formative phase, is another fun way to help ramp up engagement that I very much enjoy. Zack wants to get the Busy Bees to 100 solidly-active members, before unfolding the initiative's next phase, in which there will be all sorts of mutually-beneficial activities, contests, and events. I very much look forward to it. I also want to mention the @freecompliments community, as the fellow that runs it goes over the top to create a truly amazing and engaging community, and to provide as much benefit and value to members as possible. He's been in the process of creating various job positions that pay in HBSI, to help both the Free Compliments community, and Hive as a whole, to grow and thrive. As to contests, there are two in which I started out early in my Hive journey (both are hosted in the Shadow Hunters Community), the Shadow Hunter Contest, run by @melinda010100, and the Reflection Hunters Contest, run by @olgavita, and from which I took a long hiatus due to becoming much busier on Hive, are my two most recent weekly contests added back into my schedule. I had been meaning to start participating again in both for a while, as they're wondefully fun and well-run contests, that also provide nice benefits for participation. I was really happy to add these back into my week. I hope that you'll feel inspired to check out and look more deeply into these various initiatives, communities, and contests, and maybe even share some of your own that you love!
Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, just before 2PM, starting as I usually do on straining out and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). When kefir was done, along with a little photo taking, I shared another amazing salad that Zai had made in the Landing. After eating my fill of delicious salad, I changed the ethernet heads on one long ethernet cable, and cut and put heads on a new and much longer ethernet cable, then I delivered them to those needing them, Soozi and Elohi. Once I finally got the ethernet cables done and delivered, I walked around the property a bit more, taking more photos for these posts, before sharing a little popcorn that Zai had made in the Landing. We do popcorn a lot...lol. I collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, after popcorn nibbling, and made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had a lot more notifications last night than the previous two evenings, but thankfully I was still able to get fully caught up by just before 11:15PM, spending some time after that engaging a little more on Waves, catching any stray notifications, and checking my X feed, before finally going to bed around 12:15AM. I did thankfully sleep well, waking up around 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just after 12:45PM, so a fantastic 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, very hopefully take more photos for these posts, then land work, which will probably be back in the garden weeding (ethernet cables took precedence yesterday). 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.
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
