I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #733 - HPUD and My Birthday Today, with a Side of Clarity - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, July 30, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Today is July 31st (the post date is for yesterday), and that means that it's both the August HPUD (in my time zone after 2PM), and my 52nd birthday. I wish that I were in a better state for this fine day, but from one day to the next I've found myself in a mental-emotional shit storm, so I'm doing my best just to stay focused on my important Hive tasks for today, and hopefully enjoying myself to some degree.

I'll be powering up my 37.8 HIVE for this month's HPUD, and then writing and publishing my HPUD post about it later in the afternoon. What's so cool about this HPUD is that it's the first one after my major buy of 650 BXT and 22 INCOME tokens last month, which both pay out daily in HIVE. On the last HPUD I powered up 20 HIVE, while this one, with the augmented HIVE income from BXT and INCOME, I'll be powering up almost 38 HIVE, so a notable jump. I'd say that my income-token purchase was indeed a good decision.

Although today is my birthday, I don't plan to do anything other than my usual daily tasks. Since my birthday 2 Years ago, just before which my then girlfriend Kai broke up with me, leaving me for someone else, I've not had much interest in doing anything for my birthday. While I hid out on my last birthday, so it was fairly uneventful, the above-mentioned mental-emotional shit storm is what greeted me for this one, and with it some unexpected and perhaps life-changing clarity around some of the people with whom I live in this jungle community. It would have been glorious to have a beautiful birthday today, but that's not what's present in my experience, so I'll just do my best with what I do have.

Because of the time that I was spending with Lizzie, for the first time in over two years, I fell 3 days behind on my notifications. Yesterday, in the midst of the unpleasant events that were unfolding, I committed several hours to catching up fully on Hive, which I was super thankfully able to do, by around 9:30PM, finishing the night at the top of the Ecency Leaderboard. I'm determined to stay caught up today.

Pretty much the whole day yesterday was an epic mess, so I won't be going into the details from my day, like I usually do. There are days that I just can't bring myself to write about what's actually happening around me. There's a lot of beauty here, with a equal measure of its opposite much of the time as well.

It's now just after 11:15AM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can get to my usual Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to strain out and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and to take photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest (which I still haven't been able to do yet). After that I may spend some time with Lizzie, though I really don't know how that's going to go, but I'm open to seeing. I'll do my best to get my evening Hive tasks done, and get fully caught up on my notifications, but I'll see how it goes. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my HPUD post later today, and the next expression of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
