I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #734 - Much Growth, Both on Hive, and in Myself - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, July 31, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Over the first half of the year, and especially within the past few months, I've experienced ever-accelerating growth within myself, which has paralleled my notably-accelerating growth here on Hive. Those time periods have most certainly not always, or even often, been easy, fun, or joyful, but my goodness have I been learning a great deal through the meeting of my daily challenges! Heartbreak, and the healing thereof, has been a dominant theme, and that continues to this day.

Hive has been an integral and essential part of both my healing and growth, and learning how to maintain a rock-solid commitment, consistency, dedication, determination, and tenacity of focus, regardless of what's happening around me. That has been ever-more applied to my daily life as well. And the learning and growth that are occurring inside myself and in my life, are then also applied to Hive. So it's reciprocal growth, one feeding the other. So yeah, Hive is good for me. That is one big reason that I have been so all-in for the long haul on Hive, aside from its glorious potential and actuality.

Hive has helped me keep a constructive and positive focus through more-challenging times, because I knew that everything that I've been doing here every day is to build and grow something truly incredible, that will at some point ripple out into the rest of my life in a substantial way, allowing me to easily live off the dust of what my account generates. Knowing that I can, and do, help people every day here on Hive, is also something that keeps my Blockchain loyalty indomitable.

As my personal growth, and my growth on Hive, continue to accelerate, I am left feeling excitement and peace, because I feel a very positive future, both for myself, and for humanity as a whole, with Hive playing an important part. Through all the distractions on the world stage, and the ever-increasing intensity of the challenges for people worldwide, we should keep focused on creating, building, and growing, both on Hive, and in your individual lives, because they can, and will, beneficially affect each other, if we recognize and seize the opportunity that Hive provides, and never give up.

Yesterday, Wednesday, was my birthday. It was the second day of what I call a mental-emotional shit storm (that's the official terminology). I stayed most of my day to myself on Hive, though I did spend some time taking photos, both for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest (which I plan to publish today), with a little while spent sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. I started on my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications, very early, since I didn't know if I might be spending time with Lizzie later, I got everthing done (or almost done) as early as I could, which worked perfectly. Lizzie came up to the Flow House just as I was finishing up the last few notifications. I paused Hive at that point, of course, to give Lizzie my full attention. After Lizzie feel asleep in my arms, I got out of bed for a short time longer to get through the last handful of Hive notifications, at which point I went back to bed. Although I didn't sleep great, it's always beautiful sleeping beside Lizzie, so I didn't notice it quite as much as I usually would. It didn't help that we also had a spontaneous conversation in the middle of the night, as we talked through and processed a recent challenge point in our very-new relationship. We talked quite a bit in the morning, as we cuddled, finally getting up just after 9AM to head to the Landing, so I could make my superfood fire coffee (which Lizzie, Sperry, and Soozi also drink), and so Lizzie could heat up some food that I had made for her.

Lizzie stayed cleaning the Landing (which has desperately needed it) while I returned to the Flow House to do a little token management, and then write this post. It's just before 1:15PM, so a great 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 (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), hopefully take more photos for these posts, and then land work, probably with Lizzie. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Reflection Hunters Contest post later today, and the next iteration 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. 

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
