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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

With the powering up of 37.6 HIVE for HPUD yesterday, September HPUD - Hive Power Up Day - 37.6 HIVE Powered Up!, I crossed the boundary of 7,600 Hive Power. When I looked at how much HP that I had after this powerup compared to my total after my HPUD Powerup last month, I saw that I gained 228.078 HP, which was quite a surprise to me, indeed! Almost 230 HP gained in one month's time! How much more quickly that my account is growing is becoming ever-more noticeable to me, which is both exciting and satisfying.

All of the HIVE that I powerup each month for HPUD now comes from passive-income sources, which include income tokens, HP delegations, and from the HIVE that I receive weekly (Mondays) simply for staying in the top ten (usually the top three) on the Ecency Leaderboard by being active and engaging on Ecency. Last month I had 37.8 HIVE that accrued in this way, and this month I had 37.6 HIVE, so quite close. If I want that number to go up notably I need to bolster my holding of certain income tokens, like BXT, and increase my HP delegations to certain accounts, such as @ecency, which is exactly what I plan to do over time.

The DRIP that I'm incrementally buying each day, from my daily SWAP.HIVE payouts for my staked DRIP, is slowly, though noticeably, giving me more SWAP.HIVE liquidity each day. If I continue to buy and stake DRIP (on both this and my @tydyn.rain account) daily in this way, over time I will grow my daily SWAP.HIVE payouts substantially. I've been using the SWAP.HIVE from my staked DRIP on this account to fund adding assets to several diesel/liquidity pools, but with how much I'm receiving now, it's beginning to accumulate, so now when the amount of SWAP.HIVE goes over 1 HIVE, I've begun to use it to buy more BXT, which gives me a way to continue to grow that exceedingly useful income token, while still keeping enough for the diesel/liquidity pools.

Acquiring and staking BXT and DRIP on our various bot accounts is a plan that @borniet and I have for the implementation of our MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project, to give each account an onboard daily income of HIVE and SWAP.HIVE, which would be split between continuing to grow the accounts and their usefulness, and to distribute as tipping-bot tips and dividends. Getting HBD into Savings on these accounts is also part of the plan, to seed another endogenic source of income for them, which will help make the whole meta-project more self-sustaining and self-sufficient over time, which is the goal. We're going to make it happen, one way or another!

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just before 1:45PM, heading to the Tutu's first, to make some food for Iolanthe, and to hang out with her for a little while. After walking Io to Shiva-Shakti, I made my way to the Landing, to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). Once kefir was done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Cecropia and Melochia leaves for cow-milking food. With that done, I took a shower, got my phone, and went on a photo hunt for beautiful shots. When the sun got too low in the sky, and disappeared behind clouds, I collected my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and headed back to the Flow House, to powerup my HIVE for HPUD, write and publish my post about it, then get to my usual evening Hive rounds, and catching up on my notifications. There weren't as many notifications last night, so I was able to get through them all by just after 9PM. I spent a bit more time posting and engaging on Waves and Ecency proper, and checking in on X, before finally going to bed just a bit after 11PM. I did sleep well, very thankfully, waking up first around 6AM, doing a round of token management, then going back to sleep until about 8:30AM, doing one shorter round of token management, starting on this post, ask then getting out of bed just after 9AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just after 12:45PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain and blend kefir, and then to focus on taking photos for these posts, and for my entries in the Shadow Hunters and the Reflection Hunters Contests. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update either tonight or tomorrow morning, and the next iteration of this post tomorrow afternoon! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
