I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #834 - A Busy Weekend Ahead, and a DRIP Update - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, November 8, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
My weekend is shaping up to be quite a bit busier than usual, and it's only Saturday morning. I have a session scheduled with Harmony for 1PM, after I get done with this post, and my few other important Hive tasks. Since our sessions often run late, I asked Ano if he could collect cow-milking food for me for tomorrow morning, since I'm planning to go out for Sunday Funday down on the coast, and I already have to get cow food for Monday morning (since there will be nobody here to do it), and milk the cow, before I go. Usually I could collect cow food in the morning if I couldn't do it the night before, right before milk, but I need to write and publish two posts Monday morning, so it can't be done then, which is why I'm doing it Sunday morning instead.

Because my Sunday morning is already full with cow stuff, I'll need to write the next iteration of this post tonight, after I get all my other Hive tasks, including catching up on my notifications, done, since there very likely will not me sufficient time to do so Sunday morning. Since Jo(hanna) and I are the two primary people that manage the cow now, I have to make sure that my responsibilities around it are handled before I go off-property to do fun things.

Ilʻ be heading out on Sunday with Harmony and a few other people around 11-11:30AM, to go to Kehena (a beautiful black-sand beach that has been clothing-optional since 1955) for a few hours, to sunbathe, swim, and play in the waves, and later in the afternoon, move over to the Lawn, to socialize and dance in the drum circle. I haven't gone out for Sunday Funday in about a month and a half, so I'm very much looking forward to it. I'll be sure to take a nice batch of lovely photos when I'm out.

In my post yesterday I mentioned that I sold more of my COM assets, to buy 13 more DRIP, which gave me just over 315 DRIP in total on this account after I staked them. For the 315.1 DRIP staked, I received a little over 0.1 SWAP.HIVE and 0.0788 DRIP yesterday, which is a pretty good payout ratio for the amount of tokens that I have on this account.

For the just over 2,229 DRIP that I have staked on @tydyn.rain, yesterday I received 0.7134 SWAP.HIVE and 0.5583 DRIP. The DRIP that I receive on that account gets staked, and the SWAP.HIVE that I get goes to buying more DRIP, which I then send to this account to stake, so my DRIP holdings on both accounts is constantly growing. Yep, I'm a big fan of the DRIP project, and for very good reason.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after I finished my Hive tasks, a litle later than usual, just before 3PM, since I had to send out the IDD rewards for the Shadow Hunters Contest. I focused on some photography for these posts first, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest. When I was satisfied with the shots that I got for both, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With that done, I took a shower, then I headed to the Landing to make myself some food (mini spices and seasoned beef patties with cheese and honey mustard, and home-made spiced and seasoned French fries). Once I had food made, I returned to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I paused that for a short time to go down to Tutu's to make some food for Iolanthe. After she ate, I walked her back to Braja's place, and then I made my way back to the Flow House to get back to Hive. I got everything done on Hive by about 9:30PM, then I wrote and published My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 192 - Tree Fern Reflections. Once that was done, I did a little token management, did a quick scan of my X feed, then I went to bed around 12AM. Thankfully I did sleep well, waking up just after 7AM, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, a bit more catch up on my notifications, then getting out of bed around 8:45AM to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Jo(hanna). As soon as that was finished, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:45PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before heading to the Kuti to give Harmony her session. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! 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.
