I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #380 - Team Hive - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, August 11, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, 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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I mention very often (it's important), here on Hive we are all in this together, and we succeed by helping others succeed, and truly we rise by lifting those around us. There are a lot of people on Hive (and that will grow immensely at some point), and even if we don't know each other, we're all on the same team. When individuals on Hive thrive, the whole Ecosystem thrives, and when Hive thrives, we all thrive (I know, that's a lot of thriving!)!

When I do what I do every day on Hive, I focus on how I can most benefit myself and everyone else simultaneously, and the whole Blockchain. What I do is never just for me, because I feel joy at the joy of others, and I truly want everyone to succeed in the greatest possible way, and in all domains. Everyone who's reading this, I'm on your team and I'm on your side, and I'll do whatever I'm able for us all to rise together. I think of you as my brothers and my sisters, and whether I agree with you or not on any particular thing, I will help and support you to the best of my ability.

Yes, Hive is about generating wealth, but truly the greatest wealth that we have here is each other. These exquisite interactions, connections, and relationships are the gold at the core of all financial wealth that we create here, and it could not exist without them. That my dear friends is the solid foundation upon which Hive is based, and which gave birth to Hive in the first place, as the Steem community came together to take their power back by forking the Blockchain.

Many new people appear on our Blockchain every day, thinking that Hive is like any other platform that they've known, not yet seeing or understanding yet that they've come home, for that's what their arrival here is, whether they realize it or not, and that's how they should be treated, with a very warm welcome home! Welcome home!

Yesterday took me quite a bit longer to fully catch up and complete my Hive tasks than has been my usual as of late, and I felt quite behind most of the day. Because of this I didn't leave the Flow House until around 5PM, which is far later than I would have preferred. I focused on taking photos for this post first, though it was quite cloudy later in the day, so I didn't have the best light for photography, but I did my best with what I had.

Speaking of photography, 11-year-old Iolanthe saw me taking photos, and she wanted to help. Io has a very artistic eye, so I let her use my phone to take quite a goodly number of photos, several of which were excellent. I even used a few of them in this post. Taking photos is so much fun!

When our photo-taking session finished, I went to the Landing to make food, then I headed back to the Flow House to dive into my evening round of Hive catch-up and tasks, which thankfully I finished quite early once again, allowing me to go to sleep by around 10:30PM. I slept well until 4AM, at which point I was drawn once again to my trading on BitForex and Hive Engine, considering how best to move forward. Around 6AM I tried to go back to sleep, which was partially successful, and woke up again around 8:30AM, beginning a round of Hive catch-up, before finally getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just past 11:30AM, and I'm giving a session to Laksanya (her third) when I'm done with this post, so it's a good time to end it for the moment, so that we can begin. I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow morning! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚
