I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm beginning this post at 2:40AM, so it will be short and sweet, with a nice dash
of plant and nature photos. Here we go!

Every single day when I do my Hive runs, catch-up, and tasks, I am deeply commited and dedicated to not just my own growth here, but also the growth of our whole Ecosystem, and more personally, of those beautiful humans with whom I interact every day. When I say I want to use my ever-growing power, influence, and resources here to help lift those around me, I mean it.

We're all rising and lifting each other in an upward spiraling dance. Higher and higher we go, and the more we grow, the more easeful ability we have to help those around us. The idea is to manage our accounts in a way that we both give and receive maximum benefit, enriching ourselves and everyone around us.

The longer I'm here the more clearly I see it, that we are here to help each other, and the more we lift those close to us, the more we ourselves are lifted. Choose kindness and generosity, always.

It was a gorgeous sunny and warm jungle Sunday, and one that again did not go according to plan. The day began as usual, with my superfood fire coffee and my Hive catch-up, but that's not how it continued.

Long story quite short, I ended up spending most of the day with Aloha, Mahina, and Shakira, playing in the pool, and then later hanging out at Tutu's. When two adorable little girls that I adore ask me to spend time doing things with them, I tend to give them the time and attention that they are wanting, and that they deserve. So I basically put off most of my Hive catch-up and tasks until much later. I finally made food and and then returned to the Flow House in the early evening to dive into several hours of very focused work on Hive, culminating in finally writing and publishing My 55th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 2,100 HP Surpassed! post, and then, very late, beginning on this one.

It's now approaching 3:30AM, and I very much need to go to sleep now. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

One day, economy willing, I'll come visit your food jungle and taste all those gorgeous plants!

The longer I'm here the more clearly I see it, that we are here to help each other, and the more we lift those close to us, the more we ourselves are lifted. Choose kindness and generosity, always.

That is what makes Hive strong! And it lifts not only those closest to us, it spreads out. Imagine a cloth, or a net, and you pinch one part of it and lift it up? All the rest will follow to a greater or lesser degree!

I comment on and upvote a bunch of posts, so my votes are tiny compared to some. But I'd rather spread my !LUV than just have a bot decide where I should spend ten 100% upvotes on something I haven't even read. Maybe my votes aren't worth a lot, but I'm making friends, having fun, and learning, always learning new things! A new recipe, a piece of history or current events from somewhere I've never been, what to spend my tokens on, and so much more!

One habit I've got into recently is that if I have some VP left when it's time for bed, I go find a couple of posts from people I've never heard of before, and spend the rest on that so I get down to 80%. I search for a random keyword, something that interests me that day, see if there are any new people posting in a community I like, or last ditch check for new or trending posts. I might find someone new to follow, and they might get some encouragement. Win-win! 🎉

I seldom upvote comments anymore though. If I understand it correctly, a single 0.001 upvote from me will not be paid out, but I'll have "lost" the VP until it recovers after 24 hours. Better I spend it on a post that will get both the poster and me some returns, eh? Even if it counts for more in the engagement league. If that was my main concern I would spend my time upvoting dbuzz and waves :P

So I basically put off most of my Hive catch-up and tasks until much later.

You are getting balanced! ♎

I would truly love that @treefrognada! That sounds beautiful! You're so right about the mutual-raising aspect of Hive, it is huge strength! I love your analogy for it, too!

I love that about how you do things here! I do a blend of both types of voting. I follow several curation trails and many individual accounts of people that I want to support. I really appreciate your practice too of making sure your voting mana is used before you sleep.

When I arrived here, any posts of comments that didn't reach the .002 threshold would be lost to dust. That changed, however, with HF26 (Hard Fork 26), which made it so that all votes count. I rarely used to upvote comments, now I always do.

Yes, I am rebalancing a bit, though with how much time and focus I put into Hive it's not easy. I went to sleep last night at 3:30AM, and then woke up just before 8AM, so I got very little sleep. I'm tired and exhausted, and I still have a lot of catching up to do here before sleep. I do have to find workable balance with it all.

Thank you again for another truly beautiful comment! I love it! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

HF26 (Hard Fork 26), which made it so that all votes count

Oh, that's good to know! Then I can close all those tabs related to signing up for one dust-gathering service or another, which have been gathering dust in my browser while I procrastinate. 👍

Sleep at 3.30 and up by 8... I can relate, though I'm usually able to take a nap in the afternoons. I fell asleep in my chair last night/sometime this morning. When I woke up my hubby was happily sitting at his comp playing some game, and when I asked why he hadn't waken me up so I could go to bed he said "I thought you were angry, so I let you be." That almost made me angry, because obviously if I had been angry and decided not to sleep in my own bed, I'd have used the one in the guestroom, not slept in my chair! :P

Yes, it's funny that the dust-cleaning services kept on doing their thing even after HF26. I always think of them as a helpful bonus. They upvote my comments and replies a lot.

Yeah, 3:30AM is just way too late. I love naps so much, but I rarely get them as of late. Hehe...that's kind of funny with your husband! He probably didn't think it through...lol! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
