I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #512 - 5,900 HP Surpassed, and Rainy Day Thoughts - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, December 21, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I crossed over 5,900 HP this morning, much to my great satisfaction! Now I only have around 51,382 HP to reach orca level, or about 4,100 HP to reach my 2024 goal of 10,000 HP. 4,100 HP will go pretty quickly, so I expect to reach that goal quite a bit before the end of 2024. Since my leap to dolphin 🐬 level, I have definitely noticed that my HP growth had sped up a bit, which I'm loving of course!

I've been seeing quite a lot of talk about the new Holozing game, and its native token ZING, with quite a lot of focus on it, and investment in it, from larger accounts. That's notable. Since I learned that ZING could be claimed on holozing.com for staking, delegating, and holding POSH tokens, I've been doing so regularly, to increase my holding as quickly as I'm able. I also want to get a good amount of assets into the ZING:SWAP.HIVE diesel/liquidity pool, as the APR is still presently over 250%.

I had a conversation about investing in crypto, and more specifically investing in Hive, with a fellow this morning who has been spending time at GaiaYoga Gardens helping out with milking our cow, Daisy, while Jo(hana) is away o the mainland. He has a fair chunk of money to invest, and I was explaining to him some of the investment options on Hive, with special focus on HBD in Savings. He's very interested, so I'll likely be helping him with that at some point soon. My main frustration with helping people invest in Hive assets is that to do so we have to go through KYC gatekeepers, centralized exchanges, which I don't trust at all. I still have to help Sperry (@nysqually) to recover his funds from Coinbase, which restricted his account, not allowing us to send his LTC that he bought there to Hive Engine (their customer service is pretty much non-existent and/or useless). I would so very much love a quick and easy way to convert fiat currencies to Hive assets and back again, without all the evil gatekeeper nonsense. Given my very unpleasant experience with Coinbase when I tried to help Sperry, I'm not inclined to ever suggest it to anyone again. So the trouble is that I don't really know of any easy way to get fiat funds into Hive at the moment.

More and more every day I'm really appreciating being active on three different sovereignty-driven blockchains, Hive, Bastyon, and Qortal, simultaneously. Although I do now have an account on Koinos, I'm not active there yet. I appreciate the different people and perspectives, and both the similarities and the differences between these Allied Blockchain Nations. The potential to leverage assets to create cross-blockchain synergy also deeply excites me. Unlike some people on these blockchains, I am not insular (it's funny saying that living on an island...🤣), or focused only within one ecosystem (regardless of how amazing), but rather I encompass, transcend, include, and span multiple sovereignty-driven blockchains.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House just before 3PM, after finishing my essential Hive tasks. I focused first on collecting cow food, and I also trained one of the fellows who's staying here in how to do it. While working, we shared a great conversation of the desperate and dying slave system, The Great Awakening, and human sovereignty, which was very engaging indeed! I love conversations like that so much! After finishing with collecting cow food, and wrapping up our conversation, I made my way to go work with the bamboo cuttings that I had taken yesterday. Part way through preparing them to be planted in pots, I realized that I forgot to take photos for this post, so I paused what I was doing, got my phone, and did that! Once I had my photos taken, I got a wheelbarrow, loaded it with the many bamboo cuttings, then took them to Ano's nursery to pot up. There were a lot, so I was only able to get a little more than half of them potted up before it started getting dark. I watered and sprayed the potted and unpotted cuttings down, before calling it a day. Since it's so moist out with all the rain, they'll be OK until I get to them again today.

After working, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself good, got food for my kitty friend, then I headed back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks and catching up on notifications, which I was able to finish just before 11PM. I did a little token management before finally going to bed around 11:30PM. I didn't sleep as well as I would have liked, waking up a little after 4AM, and unable to sleep more. I did a round of token management, then I tried sleeping once again, which seems to have been partially successful, waking up again, and getting out of bed, just after 8:30AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just after 1PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get go my afternoon round of essential Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon to go take photos for the next version of this post, collect cow food, and then finish potting up the bamboo cuttings. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
