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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
As of this morning I have 8,009.5 Hive Power and 350.485 HBD in Savings, which means that I still need 1,990.5 HP and 149.515 HBD to achieve my year-end goals of 10,000 HP and 500 HBD in Savings, and I've got to accomplish it within the next 2 months and 10 days. While I've most definitely grown both of those assets by a substantial degree, I still have quite a way to go.
Even though my HP and HBD in Savings are both growing at a pretty nice rate, it's fairly obvious that both are going to need an extra boost for me to successfully reach my chosen goals by the end of the year. Now to the question of how to do this? Since the price of HIVE is still so low, converting HIVE to HBD is not something I'm keen on doing at this time, which means that I'd have to earn it another way, most likely by publishing a lot more posts at 50/50 HP/HBD payouts. Acquiring sufficient HIVE has more options, though the quickest would be to sell some of the higher-value assets that I have, though which ones?
My holding of BXT has been a very important part of growing my HP with its daily HIVE payouts, but it's been quite unreliable lately, which is not good at all. If I were to unstake my BXT, which takes just under a week to fully accomplish, and sell it, it would provide enough SWAP.HIVE to reach my HP goal. I really like BXT, though, so I'm not fond of this idea, but with how undependable its daily HIVE payouts have been lately, I'm considering it.
As of late I haven't had sufficient fiat assets to invest in Hive again, so that's not presently an option, unfortunately. Hopefully soon that will change. Because of this, I need to rely on my crypto assets, either here on Hive, or from Bastyon and Qortal, though my assets on either of those blockchains are not at a very useful level yet for this purpose.
As it stands now, and excluding any unexpected financial windfall on Hive or otherwise, I'll likely continue on my present path until perhaps mid-December, and if I'm still notably behind where I need to be to achieve my year-end goals, then I'll probably (grudgingly) unstake and sell my BXT. We'll see how it flows over the next month and half.
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House around 1:30PM, putting my attention first on some photography for these posts, and then straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao). Once those personal tasks were done, I took some time to sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn, which always feels wonderful. After sunning, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of Melochia leaves, and a little bele/edible Hybiscus for cow-milking food. I returned to the Flow House in the early evening, to relax, check my X feed, and get to my usual evening Hive tasks, including catching up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 9:30PM, and after a little more engagement on Waves and Ecency proper, and some token management, I scanned and tracked events on X, before finally going to bed around 12AM. Sadly I didn't sleep well, again, waking up around 6:30AM, doing another round of token management, writing and publishing My 125th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 8,000 HP Surpased, and Pushing for My Year-End Goals!, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Jo(hanna). As soon as I was done milking, I returned to Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:45PM, so a good time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House to first take more photos for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! 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.
