I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1004 - Hive-Blurt Synergy, and Gratitude for My Life - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, April 27, 2025

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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Hive is filled with builders and synergizers, and I'm a bit of both, where I'm increasingly finding myself helping to create new mutually-beneficial (Maximum Mutual Benefit, y'all!) systems with other Hivers of the same propensity, as well as me diving in and learning how to make efficient, effective, and synergistic use of the systems that presently exist. Being able to assist in the creation of such useful and mutually-beneficial systems, and then also being able to leverage them well, for one and all, is deeply exciting for me, because so many amazing possibilities spring from it.

Though I am certainly a builder, my building is still at a far lower level than some of true greats of the Blockchain that I've very thankfully come to know in my time here. To be able to build more efficiently, effectively, and in greater ways, I need to build my skills to be able to do so, with the most important item on my list being to begin and continue with my learning of significant coding/programming languages, which is something that for the most part I have not yet done, which makes me need to rely on others to implement my ideas. That's how it's been up until this point, but given that I've been surrounding myself with multiple incredible builders, the desire and need to be able to contribute co-creatively is becoming too strong to ignore. I don't only want to focus on learning to code and program well, but it's something that I actually need to do now, too.

The systems that exist on Hive to generate, leverage, and grow multiple streams of assets and income, across both layer 1 and 2, are truly incredible, and I'm so grateful that I made the decision to dive in deep, to learn and become good at synergistic asset leveraging on Hive, and that I've been able to assist several others in learning how to do the same, in their own way. Now that Blurt has come into my awareness in such a huge, and beautifully mutually-complementary way (in terms of Hive), my building and asset-leveraging synergy is going cross-blockchain, and in a way that will help both chains (well, it's always been that way, but now it's becoming in much more pronounced manner with Blurt).

From a mix of paying attention, intuition, research, lots of exploring and experimenting, and inspired action, I've come to a very good place in my life journey and at GaiaYoga, my standing and position on multiple sovereignty and community-driven blockchains and frameworks/platforms, and in the greater perspective that I now have on how to build, leverage, and synergize. My day-to-day life at GaiaYoga is not ideal, nor has it ever been, but it is meaningful and beautiful in its own way, and I've been able to carve out a life for myself here where my most important needs and requirements are met, and things mostly work.

I'm able go live naked, off-grid in the jungle, and yet I am also able to do what I do every day here on Hive, on Blurt, and the other sovereignty and community-driven blockchains and frameworks where I'm actively building and growing. That is incredible to me, and for that, and everything (such as my sessions) which makes it possible, I feel overflowing and overwhelming gratitude.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after I finished my Hive tasks, quite late, just a little after 3PM (hey, if was Sunday!), putting my attention first on some photography for these (and other) posts, and once I had that done to my satisfaction, I went to Tutu's to collect a few food supplies for the Landing. After dropping that off at the Landing, I went to sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for short bit, then after a short asset-management break up at the Flow House, I went to work in my nursery for a while, doing more repotting and up-potting. Once I was done there, I took a shower, and then a short walk down our jungle road (taking photos as I went), before collecting my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and heading back to the Flow House, to ease my way into my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had quite a lot last night, so I wasn't able to finish before I had to stop just after 11:30PM, to do some asset management, a quick check of my Blurt notifications, and then go to bed just after 12:30PM. I woke up just after 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 8AM go to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and then returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 152nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: A Liquidity-Pool Realignment, and the Hive-Blurt Synergy, and then to immediately begin writing this post. It's now just after 1:30PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to first focus on photography, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next expression of this post tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
