I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #833 - More DRIP Bought, and the Generator Drama Continues - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, November 7, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I've been mentioning in recent posts, I've begun slowly selling my holdings of COM tokens as they continue to unstake. This morning I sold a good chunk of COM, and I used the resulting SWAP.HIVE to buy just over 13 more DRIP tokens, which I promptly staked, giving me a new total of a little over 315 DRIP (in addition to the just over 2,229 DRIP on my trading/utility account, @tydyn.rain). I'll keep selling COM and buying DRIP until all my COM is fully unstaked, at which point I'll recall the HP delegation to @hivelist. I still haven't decided yet where I'm going to allocate the undelegated HP, but it will likely go to one of the other community-curation accounts where I already have HP delegated, probably to either @stickupcurator, @eds-vote, or @dab-vote.

DRIP is still one of the most high-performing, dependable, reliable, and consistent income token that I have, and I love the project, so I plan to be acquiring a lot more over time. To be sure, I also very much appreciate DBOND/DABS, BXT, EDS, INCOME, and LGN, as well, but I really like how DRIP not only pays out a respectable amount of SWAP.HIVE daily, but also incrementally as I acquire more (as opposed to payout tiers), and it pays out more DRIP every day to boot, so my DRIP holding is always growing, even if I don't directly buy more. That's very cool indeed. I still really like BXT, but it's become a bit less consistent, dependable, and reliable for me, so I haven't focused on buying more just yet.

I still don't have sufficient DUO, SBT, or SIM, to receive payouts, so I can't say too much about them just yet. I'll just keep acquiring and stacking those until I have enough to get past their respective payout thresholds. I love income tokens, and I'm always on the hunt for other solid ones.

On a slightly different topic, we still don't have a functional generator as a backup for our solar electrical system, though we're working on getting the two that we have repaired as soon as possible. Very thankfully we've had sufficient sun over the past few days, so the batteries have had enough charge to get through the last two nights without crashing. This means that my Qortal node has kept humming along for the most part, so I've received payouts for the last two days in a row, which is excellent, and I should be good for the next one this evening as well.

Being a tech geek, and doing what I need and want to do with my technology, with the sometimes inconsistent, undependable, and unreliable off-grid jungle electrical system and internet, is really, really, really not easy at times, but I do my best to adapt and flow with with the challenges that I encounter. Things have just been a lot more challenging lately, so what I do has required a lot of extra effort. I'm really hoping that everything smooths out again very soon. May it be so, ASAP!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, around 1:30PM, focusing my attention first on taking a good batch of photos for these posts, and for my entry in the Shadow Hunters Contest. Once I was satisfied with the photos that I had taken, I strained and blended kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing. With that done, I went to sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a little while, and then I returned to the Flow House for a short bit to do a little important token management. As soon as I had that done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food, and the I did some paid nursery work for Ano. When I finally had that done around sunset, I returned to the other side of the property to take a shower, collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and head back to the Flow House to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 346 - Banana-Leaf Shadow Play, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 11:30PM, and after a little token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed about 12AM. I slept reasonably well, waking up just before 7AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Jo(hanna). When that was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:15PM, so a good time to end this post, so that I may get to my other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first focus on some photography for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
