I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #691 - Hive Is Qualitatively Different - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, June 18, 2024

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 was on a great many alternative social media platforms, and one other sovereignty-driven social blockchain, before discovering Hive, and even a few more of both afterwards, and one thing that was and is very apparent to me is that Hive is a whole different animal, and is qualitatively different from any other platform or blockchain with which I've had experience. There is something about Hive that fits like a lock and key with my particular personality, which inspires strong commitment, dedication, determination, persistence, perseverance, and tenacity over time within me. I took like a duck to water to this glorious Blockchain.

I'll always have a presence on multiple other social media platforms and blockchains, but there is a reason why I consider Hive to be my home base, and why it will always get the majority of my time, energy, focus, and atention. Multiple important elements for me coincided in Hive for this to be so.

First and foremost, the whole open-source, decentralized Blockchain is 100% community-developed, maintained, run, and governed, with no corporate or governmental involvement or influence. That is hugely important to me. Because of that, Hive can't be corraled, manipulated, censored, or controlled. Only that which is uncontrollable is trustworthy for me now.

The few other significant aspects are that Hive's version of money and finance is bar none the most elegant, efficient, lucrative, and empowering system that I've ever seen, and directly connected with that is the brilliant fact that we own our keys for our accounts, which means that our assets truly belong to us, that we can use them however we want, and that they cannot be seized or frozen. A financial system, that is not based on debt, but rather on our own human value, where there are countless ways to generate income, including passive income, that is open to anyone worldwide, that puts everyone on the same economic playing field, and where we are the sole owners of our accounts and assets, is a life-and world-changing framework. That mutual-benefit is such an integral part of how Hive works, and that we cannot rise without lifting others, is sheer technological brilliance. All that amazingness would mean nothing, however, without the people, and Hive's community is second to none, being generally very friendly, warm, generous, helpful, and supportive. These are some of reasons that I am so all-in for the long haul here on Hive, and why I show up every day on this exceptional Blockchain to give my best.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, on the later side again, around 2:45PM. As has become my custom, I strained out and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) first, before getting myself involved in anything else. The weather did not cooperate for photos again, doing the cloudy-afternoon thing. After kefir, I went to Tutu's to do the dry-goods order for the community, for the Wednesday town run. When I had that done, I returned to the Flow House for a short break, then I went to my nursery to dive into some much-needed weeding. I ended up working in my nursery until sunset, longer than I expected, but it felt good to finally start. After working, I took a shower, collected the quart jar of my kefir blend from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get to my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on notifications. I finished up everything on Hive just before 10PM, and after a bit of engagement on Waves, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11PM. I slept very well, thankfully, first waking up around 7AM, then going back to sleep until about 9:30AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed around 10:30AM, to finally go make my superfood fire coffee.

It's now just before 12:45PM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first strain out and blend kefir, and then to help Melekai move some things in preparation for a women's gathering that she and Audrey are planning for Thursday. Even though it's a women's gathering, they both invited me to assist with holding the space, and to offer some short body-energy-tantric work sessions to the women attending. Being the goddess worshiper that I am, this sounds lovely. After helping Melekai, I'll get into other land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart, reignite my heart sun, and embody a solid, healthy masculine, allowing my electric fire to shine bright, no matter what others, especially women, say or do. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness. 

3.) Do regular (naked) integral practices again, alone or with others. 

4.) Dance regularly again.

5.) Work with natural entheogens (mushrooms, ganja, ayahuasca), with punctuated regularity, as a part of my healing process again. 

 6.) Get, and keep, regular deep, integral energy-body-tantric work healing sessions for women flowing again.

7.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again. 

8.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again.

9.) Live as an integral part of a juicy heart-resonant soul tribe community, with deep, coherent mutual and shared passion, purpose, mission, love, warmth care, sweetness, reverence, respect, aliveness, admiration, excitement, enjoyment, playfulness, work, fun, laughter, attraction, and all-level connections and relationships. 

10.) Make love with the woman, or the women, that I love, every day, as a sacred devotional practice. 

11.) 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
