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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
In my 2.5+ years on Hive I've seen so many people come and go, appear and disappear. Some were very consistent for a good while, then they too had their attentions called elsewhere. While I do feel sadness around this, I just focus on why I'm still here, and I keep chugging along, day in and day out, regardless of what anyone else is doing, because I know that what I'm building, creating, and growing here is important, both for myself, and for everyone else on the Blockchain.
Who else is all in for the long haul here on Hive? What inspires and motivates you to do this, especially over the long term? Do you treat what you do on Hive like a personal business, or is it more something that you do in your free time? As most of you know, I saw Hive's incredible potential pretty much as soon as I arrived here, after onboarding myself, and I've been gung ho all in ever since, with me treating Hive exactly like a business, giving it the time, energy, and effort required for me to grow and thrive here. Because of that, I've used the opportunities presented to me, over and over, and I've done quite well for myself in the process.
While there are seemingly innumerable ways to generate income and succeed on Hive, it is those with passion, determination, and drive, that give their all every day, diving in deep, exploring every nook and cranny, and learning constantly, who are the ones who truly flourish here. Hive is a feedback system, with the more that we give, the more that we receive in return. Although it is possible to grow here passively in multiple ways, Hive is not for the lazy.
If you want to succeed here, you absolutely can, but you're going to have to put in the time and effort. Growing a solid nest egg of decentralized and unseizable assets that you truly own, and that you may use for whatever you want, is truly priceless. The immense importance of this will become glaringly apparent as the overt tyranny of the dying slave system pushes ever harder to ensnare and enslave people with crypto taxes and regulations, KYC, digital IDs, CBDCs, and social credit scores, among several other nefarious and interconnected global agendas. Hive is a way to resist and counter such encroaching evil, but the choice must still be made on the part of every individual to say 'no', and to not comply, not consent, and not submit, to the manipulation and control of groups that do not at all have humanity's best interests in mind. May you choose wisely.
Yesterday, Sunday, was, as most Sundays are lately, mostly Hive focused, with me doing all my regular daily Hive tasks, catching up fully on my notifications, as well as writing and publishing My 98th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 3/3 Weekly Goals Reached or Exceeded, and Delegation Reorganization post, which I finished by just after 11:30PM. I did also take some time in my day to strain out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, take photos for this post, and to make myself some food. After completing and publishing my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, I did a round of token management, I scanned my X feed, then I went to bed around 12:30AM. I slept reasonably well, waking up around 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed around 9AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.
I attended the Monday Leadership Council meeting, which started earlier than usual (due to most people going bolling for Elohi's birthday), which ended a little after 11AM, at which point I returned to the Flow House to finish writing this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so a great 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 more photos for these posts, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
