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'm happy to announce that the first Alive Chat community engagement challenge after our reboot is now live, Alive Chat January 6, 2025 - Monday: Share your 2025 goals and finish it together!! I'm very grateful to the Alive Chat team, @cursephantom, @edgerik, and @hafiz34, for hosting days, and for their desire and willingness to help the We Are Alive Tribe come back to life! Thank you very much, guys! You're all very much appreciated!
Although it's a high priority, making the time to finish the asset inventory of all the Alive Tribe accounts, as important as it is, may be a bit challenging this week, as my time seems to fill up fast, especially with giving session, of which I already have two scheduled, for Thursday with Emily, and Saturday with Sol. Because of those two sessions, I had to move the trade session with Riana, where I'll be receiving, to next week. Although I am looking forward to receiving work that is similar to what I do, because it's something that is very rare for me, I still feel like I don't prioritize it. I give far more sessions than I ever receive, and it's exceedingly rare to find someone as thorough and intuitive as I am in sessions, so I've just never focused on it being important. I might be procrastinating a little in receiving, since it's been quite a long time since anybody has worked on me in any real depth.
My session work with women seems to be taking off again quite notably as of late, with two session per week for two weeks in a row. That's wonderful, it's just a little more challenging to schedule sessions with my present cow-milking responsibilities. I seem to be going to another level in sessions again, and it certainly seems like it's appreciated, for which I am overflowingly grateful.
Since the news about staked DRIP no longer receiving daily SWAP.HIVE payouts came to me the day before yesterday, I've been working to rebuild my daily SWAP.HIVE income in other ways, as it's very important for my daily token management operations. Aside from beginning the month-long unstaking process of my DRIP, I've begun to focus much more on increasing my liquidity in some of the diesel/liquidity pools that offer higher SWAP.HIVE rewards.
Since it takes a little over month for DRIP to fully unstake, I'll still receive daily payout of more DRIP, and SPS, for most of the month, so I've begun to sell the DRIP that I receive each day, to compensate for the loss of the daily SWAP.HIVE income, which has helped a lot. I'll always find a way around obstacles, because I don't accept their ability to stop me. Period.
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, just a little after 2PM. I spent some time first to take more photos for these posts, and then I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. When I had that done, I went to sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a while, which was absolutely wonderful. Once I had my fill of sun, I went to collect a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food with Sol, and to chop down a few things for Daisy to eat, as it's time to move her to the other pasture, since she's exhausted her food supply where she is now. When cow food was done, I made myself some food in the Landing (ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, and sea salt, cooked in olive oil), and with that in hand, I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications, of which there were many. I had so many notifications again that I was yet again not able to get fully caught up (I was still 9 hours behind), before I had to make myself go to bed a little after 12:30AM. I slept reasonably well, waking up around 6:30AM, doing some token management, writing and publishing My 136th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 2/3 Weekly Goals Achieved, 8,600 HP Surpassed, and an Income Hit, then going to make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Sol. Jo returns tonight, so I'll likely be milking with her tomorrow. After milking, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1PM, so a marvelous to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later on the afternoon, to first focus on more photography for these posts, and then to get to community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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.
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 Android Phone.
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
