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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I usually have a lot to do each day, both here on Hive, and in this off-grid jungle community, but I have to say that the past week (I can barely keep track!) have been really quite a bit more full, with me a lot busier, than is the norm. Today was a continuation of these busy, cloudy, and quite rainy days. I just adapt, roll, flow, and juggle it all the best I can!

Our gas-powered generator, which is the backup to our solar electrical system, has not worked for several days, and with all the cloudy and rainy weather, we've lost power a few times already, usually in the early morning hours. Given that I run a Qortal minting node, and I also always have a lot to get done on my phone and computer, this is a very big, annoying, and frustrating issue. The Qortal network has been pretty crazy lately, and combined with our electrical problems, I've missed a fair number of payouts lately. Thankfully I was able to receive payouts for yesterday and this morning, but tomorrow's is not looking too likely since it will be so early, when the electrical system has a high probability of being down. Fingers crossed on that.

Aside from babysitting my Qortal node in the morning, as the electricity came and went, I did my HPUD powerup, then wrote and published my November HPUD - Hive Power Up Day - 39.9 HIVE Powered Up! post, and I milked the cow with Jo(hanna) again, as I do pretty much every day now. As soon as I had that done, I headed back to the Landing to finally blend my superfood fire coffee (since I was waiting for the solar batteries to charge more), and then back the Flow House to the Flow House again to send out the IDD awards to the Shadow Hunters Community Contest winners and honorable mentions, and to write this post. So yeah, my morning has already been very full indeed.

When I was in Tutu's getting all the cow-milking stuff together and ready, Harmony reminded me about her session later today, at 1PM, which incredibly I had totally misplaced in my memory. I'll do my absolute best to be ready in time for her session, but I also need to take more photos for these posts, since I have no more saved and ready on my phone, take some for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and collect cow food. That's a lot to do with very little time to fit it all in somewhere, and the weather still isn't cooperating! Doh!

I now have 2 hours until Harmony's session, and I still have to wrap this post up and get to my other important Hive tasks, along with the above-mentioned photography and cow food. I'm in a race for time, as the saying goes. I really need to work on my time-bending abilities...lol!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, much later than usual, as that was quite a jam-packed day as well, a little after 3PM. Since it was raining, I made myself some food in the Landing first (spiced and seasoned ground beef mixed with eggs, onions, tomatoes, and pepperjack cheese), then I went to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. I was only able to get a few photos yesterday, the most important of which were for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest. After getting cow food, I returned to the Landing to collect my half-eaten food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, and I made my way back to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 345 - Kalanchoe Shadows post, then get to my usual evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot to get through last night, so I finished by around 11:30PM, and after some token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed just before 12AM. Unfortunately I did not sleep well, waking up first around 3:30AM, doing a quick round of token management because I couldn't sleep, then making another attempt at sleep until 6:45AM, doing another round of token management, writing and publishing my HPUP post, starting on this post, babysitting my Qortal node through unstable electricity conditions, going to milk the cow, sending out the Shadow Contest rewards, and then finally this post. It's now just after 12:30PM, so as good a time as any to end this post so that I can get on with my exceedingly busy and full day. Until my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest (hopefully) later today, and the next version of this post tomorrow! I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! 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.
