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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
The first two days of the New Year were quite full for me, with all the usual things that need to get done here on Hive and in this jungle community, plus a bit more to boot, including a lovely dinner on New Year's Day, and a session yesterday, with my sweet friend, Lea. Her session flowed beautifully well, with her leaving very happy and grateful, and very much wanting to continue working with me. Excellent.
Riana, who originally told me that Saturday wouldn't work for her for a session, contacted me again to let me know that she changed her mind, so we now have one planned for tomorrow. I also may have a session with Emily sometime this coming week, though it's not set yet. My session work has definitely been hopping lately, which is a wonderful thing indeed, it just makes getting other important tasks done, both on Hive, and here in this off-grid community, a bit more challenging, since they take so much time, but I've been juggling everything pretty well, thankfully.
One of the important tasks that I've been needing to do, and that hasn't happened yet due to having my time so occupied, is to write and publish the official announcement post for the re-launch of the @alive.chat community engagement activities. I plan on getting that done today, since I have no sessions, and a more open schedule, so I'll publish it either this afternoon, or early evening, if all goes well.
Apart from this post, and the @alive.chat announcement post, I also need to devote some time today to catching up on my notifications, since for a second day in a row, I was not able to get through them all before I had to go to bed. Some days I get utterly buried in notifications, and while I always dig myself out and get on top of them again, it definitely takes a fair bit of time and focus.
2025 is shaping up to be an exceptionally incredible year, for Hive, the crypto market, the We Are Alive Tribe, for me personally, and for the whole world. A year for the history books may indeed be a huge understatement. Whatever comes, I'll be here for you guys in whatever way I'm able. May it far exceed all of our greatest desires, intentions, and expectations.
Yesterday, Thursday, after finishing up my Hive tasks around 12:30PM, I prepared for Lea's session, and I even had some time to get in some photography for these posts before she arrived. Since I got done on Hive so early, we started Lea's session a little earlier as well, around 1:15PM, and we finished just before 6PM, so a session of usual length, which she absolutely loved. After Lea left, I went straight to the Landing to collect a leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I returned to the Flow House to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot of them again, and as I mentioned above, I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 354 - Banana and Coconut Shadow Play, and then finally to to bed at 1AM, waaayyy too late again. I woke up just before 8:30AM, very much feeling that I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, and then getting out of bed go to milk Daisy with Sol (I still had leftover superfood fire coffee from yesterday, so I didn't need to make that), which went well. As soon as I was done milking, I made my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before starting on the @alive.chat post, and catching up more on my notifications. I'll also collect cow food later with Sol. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
