I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #800 - 7,900 HP Reached, Hive Hiccups, and Another Sunday Funday Out - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, October 5, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Yesterday morning, just after publishing the last version of this post, I crossed the threshold of 7,900 Hive Power, just a week after passing 7,800 HP, only slightly behind schedule. Usually it takes me two weeks, as of late, to gain 100 HP, but my HPUD powerup gave me the boost that I needed to cut it down to one week. At my present rate I should cross 8,000 HP by the middle of October.

My usual daily flow of passive HIVE and SWAP.HIVE took quite a hit this week, sadly, with @hivelist running out of SWAP.HIVE to send for a day (it's been remedied), and much more significantly, BeeSwap/BXT undergoing maintenance for multiple days, which stopped the daily payouts of HIVE for my staked BTX. This unfortunately set me almost a week behind with the amount of HIVE for the next HPUD. Damn.

I love Hive, and this amazing community, but this sort of thing really frustrates me. Most people in the world are going through really challenging times now (me too), so I definitely understand, but communication and backpayments would have been appreciated by those (like me) that provide unwavering support. I'll adapt and flow with it the best that I can, though I'm very likely going to have to come up with another way to achieve my year-end goal of 10,000 HP.

I went out for Sunday Funday along the coast last week, which was much needed, and a lot of fun, and it seems that I'm going out again this week, today, too. That means that I have to finish this post, and a few other important Hive tasks, before I go. Luckily I still have a little time. I'll be heading to Kehena and the Lawn again, two very enjoyable places to spend a Sunday.

I still have to take some more photos for these posts, too, which I plan to do when I'm down along the coast today. I'm slowly learning how to reintegrate going out regularly on Sunday again with things that I have to do on Hive. So far so good. I'll be sure to get more beautiful photos from the beach and Lawn.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, around 2:15PM, and since I was planning on walking to the Trading Post (a local jungle-community free market) with Lizzie and Cameron around 3PM, I went to collect a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves for cow-milking food straight away. I got that done reasonably quickly, took a shower, then I made some eggs for myself in the Landing, to eat before I left. As soon as I was done eating, we headed out on our walk, of about 4 miles, to the Trading Post. There were far fewer people at the Trading Post this time, though it was still a mellow, relaxed, and enjoyable evening. We got a ride home with one of the fellows there, Tim. As soon as I got back to GaiaYoga, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, and a jar of water, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to continue with my Hive tasks, that I had already started before I left the Trading Post. I finished getting through all my notifications by around 9:30PM, and after a little token management, and tracking world events on X, I went to bed around 11:45PM. I woke up just before 7:30AM, still feeling like I needed more sleep, doing another 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 10AM, so I have about an hour to get my few important Hive tasks done, and make myself some food, before I leave for the coast. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update probably 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
