I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #532 - When the Going Gets Tough, We're Here for Each Other! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, January 10, 2024

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Succeeding on Hive requires commitment, dedication, determination, consistency, perserverence, persistence, and tenacity, over extended periods of time. The challenge with that is that we're human, of course, and regardless of our desires, goals, or expectations, things don't always go as we'd like, and the going isn't always smooth or easy. Some disappear from Hive during more difficult times, while others (like me) push forward regardless of what is happening in their lives.

Very thankfully none of us are alone in this, even if it feels like we are sometimes, because we're all a part of the incredible support system that is Hive. In these times that are of such immense challenge for so many, we're here on this exceptional Blockchain for each other.

When times are not very easy or enjoyable, it's often quite an issue to be able to find daily inspiration and motivation to write posts every day. I know this is true for me, and I assume I'm not the only one who feels this way. It's exactly for this reason that I do my best to support, encourage, inspire, and motivate people as much as I'm able in my posts, comments, and replies. I want everyone with whom I'm connected to know that I'm here for them, and I'm deeply grateful for everyone that has done the same for me over the past 2.33 years!

I know that Hive has indeed been an important inspiring, motivating, consistent, and stable element for me during times in my life when these qualities were not particularly easily available otherwise, and for that I'm very grateful. Hive was a web of support that I very much needed at times, and it was here for me in such way that it allowed me to keep a positive focus. That's significant. In any and every way I am able to be part of your own web of support, I happily will do so! Remember friends, we are all in this together, we rise by lifting others, and together we thrive on Hive!

I left the Flow House just after 2:30PM yesterday, Wednesday, putting my focus on taking a handful of more photos for this post (most were taken in the morning). For land work, as is my norm lately, I collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted tree foliage for cow-milking food. With that task done, I went to my nursery and collected two more plants to take to the other side of the property to stage to prepare to get them in the ground very soon. Once I finished that, I went to Ano's nursery to do some paid work, which was the continuation of my very-thorough weeding job.

After wrapping up work for the day, I took a shower, strained out kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made myself food, then I headed back to the Flow House for my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything finished just before 11:30PM, and after a short round of token management, I went to bed just after 12AM. I slept way better than the previous two nights, waking up around 7:30AM, doing another short round of token management, then getting out of bed just after 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee.

I attended the community NVC meeting from 9AM until I had to leave to start this post just before 11:30AM. It's just past 1:30PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of Hive essential tasks, before leaving the Flow House in the later afternoon to take photos for tomorrow's incarnation of this post, and then land work. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Forward, onward, and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2024 Life Goals

1.) Heal my broken heart. 

2.) Bring myself and my life back into balance, integration, and wholeness, and do regular integral practices. 

3.) Make my plant nursery beautiful again. 

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

5.) Continue my work with Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, Bastyon, and other sovereignty-driven technologies, as well as learn relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute. 

6.) Get regular healing sessions with women flowing again. 

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
