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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

After more than 3 years on this glorious Blockchain, I've seen so many people come, half-heartedly try Hive out, and then leave, almost as quickly as they arrived. Many, if not most times, these hit-and-run Hive visitors come looking for free and easy money, without having any awareness of the incredible underlying sovereignty-driven technology that is at Hive's core, or even caring one wit about such things. Hive is better off without such people. Some of those that originally come to Hive for a reason like that, after paying attention and noticing what Hive actually is and how it really works, have what I'd call a Hivewakening (Hive Awakening), and from that point on a new die-hard Hiver is born.

While the idea of everything on Hive being monetized was indeed fascinating to me, that was not my primary reason for creating this Hive account, and beginning my Blockchain journey here. First and foremost, above and before anything, I am here because the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is a 100%-community-based, open-source, decentralized, sovereignty-driven framework for human empowerment and liberation. The fact that it is also the most efficient, effective, and elegant financial system that I've ever seen is the superb iceing on this incredible crypto-cake.

With how low HIVE has been trending lately in terms of fiat-dollar value, there are quite a few Hivers, even some rather long-standing ones, that seem to be on the fence about their future on the Blockchain, or even about the future of the Blockchain itself, with expressions of doubt and hesitancy around further investments of time and assets. While seeing and hearing this makes me sad, I know why I'm here, and I'm unswayed by the opinions or FUD (Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt) of others. I intend and plan to continue giving my all here every day, working and pushing to build, grow, and save, all-in for the long haul, for myself, and for everyone else on the Blockchain. I'm a die-hard Hiver to the max!

Hive has everything that it takes to succeed in a solid and real way, as opposed to the fake success that so many propped-up mainstream platforms have had. Big-name endorsements mean as little to me for blockchains or platforms, as they do for political parties or figureheads. I don't take anyone's word for anything, and I do my own research, thank you very much! Hive is very much the real deal, and it has my unshakable loyalty because of it.

I don't care one bit about hype, but rather grounded, practical application, and in that regard Hive blows the vast majority of crypto projects out of the water. So very many say that what they are creating will change everything, and they go on about how much more superior their tech is. What I have seen and experienced, however, is that most are in early-stages of development, while Hive does most, or all, of what they intend to do, already. Hive gets my vote and support, because aside from its amazing potential, it's practical application and reality are already exceptional. Nothing comes close to Hive!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after I finished up my Hive tasks, around 1PM, to Iolanthe texting me, and coming up in person, to ask me if I could make her some food down at Tutu's, which I did end up doing, just before Audrey arrived for her session. Audrey's session went very well indeed, with us finishing around 4:30PM, and her going to hang out with Melekai for a while afterward. My last task of the day was to get my machete and to collect a wheelbarrow full of mixed foliage for cow-milking food. I returned the Flow House in the early evening, to write and publish My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 189 - Honeybee Reflections, and then to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished everything on Hive a little after 11:30PM, and after some token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 12AM. Although I did wake up in the middle of the night for a short while, in the end I did sleep pretty well, waking up around 6:45AM, doing another round of token management, beginning on this post, catching up a bit more on my notifications, and then finally getting out of bed around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to help Jo(hanna) milk the cow at 9:30AM, which went smoothly. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first take photos for these posts, to collect cow food, and perhaps to go to the Trading post for a while. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
