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'll be crossing the milestone of 8,900 Hive Power at some point in the next few days, with 9,000 HP following soon after, mostly likely the week after next. This is quite good growth for sure, though I also know that it could indeed be better, and I aim to make it so. My HP growth is quite stable and consistent, with monthly HP leaps periodically accelerating the process. I'm always adjusting and tweaking how I do thing over time, to maximize my returns, in Hive Power, and in every other asset that I manage, and I'm getting better at it all the time.
I'm excited and looking forward to the March HPUD, as well as the next BBHO Powerup Day on the 20th. My HPUD powerups are usually in the range of about 40-45 HIVE, which comes almost entirely from delegations, income tokens, contests, and being in the top ten of the Ecency Weekly Leaderboard. Various income tokens really come in handy here, and I plan to boost my holdings of a few important ones as soon as I'm able. I went all-in on BBHO, with presently 2,452.941 liquid BBHO ready for BBHO Powerup Day, and 2,048.645 staked BBHO, which after my powerup should get me very close to 5,000 staked BBHO. Nice. Then it's on to the next goal of 20,000 staked BBHO.
I'm what you could call an integral, whole-system thinker-feeler, so in the context of Hive, my mind is always working to take all the myriad assets that I have across layer 1 and layer 2, and to fit them together into a greater functioning synergistic system that allows me to leverage and grow those assets and many more, thus ever-accelerating my growth in all areas. I'm applying this to my asset managent for the Alive Tribe as well now, and things are coming together more each day, piece by piece, step by step.
I've been mentioning in these posts that I feel huge shifts and changes, and in all domains and contexts, coming exceedingly soon, both for humanity and the world, as well as for myself here at GaiaYoga. While I do love and appreciate GaiaYoga in several important ways, in truth it's never been an ideal fit for me, but I've mostly made it work. I'm getting the increasingly strong feeling, however, that 'just good enough' isn't going to cut it for much longer. This applies to what's unfolding in the world as well.
As to exactly what that means, or what it would look like, I can't fully say yet, but I do know that aligning fully with what is most authentic, genuine, real, natural, and alive, is an essential part of it. I have a meeting with the Leadership Council tomorrow, and we'll see how it flows. My tolerance for nonsense is waning quickly, I'll just say that. Regardless of whether I end up continuing to live here at GaiaYoga, or shift to a new, hopefully more-aligned framework, Hive is my home, and I shall continue forward with what I'm creating, building, and growing on Hive, no matter what.
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House around 2:30PM, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, giving my attention first to some photography for these posts, and straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. With those completed, I took a short asset-management break up at the Flow House, then I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. It was raining on and off all day, so not a great day to try to get more work done in my old nursery. I finished cow food just before sunset, at which point I went to the Landing to make myself some food (a simple grilled-cheese on sourdough, with pepper jack cheese, and horseradish mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I returned to the Flow House, to jump into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by a little after 9:30PM, and after some asset management, snd a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11PM. I woke up just before 7:30AM, after having slept pretty well, doing more asset managent, writing and publishing My 142nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: All Three Weekly Goals Smashed, and 8,900 HP This Week!, and then going to milk Daisy with Jo. As soon as milking was done, I made my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a fantastic time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House soon after, to focus first on photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition of this post! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2025 Life Goals
1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.
2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.
4.) 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
