I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #872 - Off to the Hamakua Coast Today, and a Major EDS Error - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, December 16, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In just a short time, at 1:30PM, I'll be leaving GaiaYoga with Melekai to drive up to the Hamakua coast for her women's retreat (where I'll be offering bodywork). Super thankfully I was able to get all the various tasks, both those in preparation for the trip, and the usual daily ones, done yesterday. We'll be at the retreat the rest of today when we arrive, tomorrow, and part of Thursday.

I just got done milking the cow, now I've got to write and publish this post, box up a few more supplies, load everything into the car (we already loaded my massage table, since it's so large), and then head north. There will be six ladies attending the retreat, each of whom I'll be giving a 1-to-2-hour mini-session (my full sessions are usually 4 to 6 hours).

I've decided to bring my laptop with me, both to keep track of my Qortal node, and to do various things on Hive, and also my phone of course. As soon as I arrive at the retreat center, I need to find and connect my computer to the network, to get my Qortal node back online (thankfully the next payout block will be just a little before 1AM). Once I'm there, I'll also need to organize my time for the event so that I am able to get all of my essential Hive tasks done on time.

On a rather different topic, and as HP delegators to @eds-vote are likely already aware, yesterday, due to an error involving a missed decimal, the @eddie-earner account sent out massively more EDS to HP delegators that was intended. I noticed that I had received 25.35 EDS, which is far beyond the fraction of one EDS that I usually receive. Since I figured that this was an error, I checked the layer-2 transactions for @eddie-earner, and I found that many thousands of EDS had been sent out, leaving fewer than 300 in the wallet. I checked the @eddie-earner account this morning, and as I expected there was a post talking about the situation, and the most likely course of action to rectify it, which will probably be an airdrop of a new token to take EDS's place (since it's toast). It is advised not to engage in trading of EDS at this time, as this could affect investments and the airdrops.

I have a good bit of trust in the @spinvest/EDS team, so I know that things will be straightened out. It is sad to see the EDS token die, however. Since everything on Hive is created and maintained by Hivers all over the world, like you and me, errors and mistakes do indeed happen, and that's OK, it's how such mistakes are handled that is the important part. This is another reason why having a solid team is essential for Hive projects, so that issue and problems that arise, especially major ones, can be addressed and rectified quickly.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just before 2PM, focusing first on photography for these posts, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and buzzing my head and face. When those were done I put my attention on getting the various supplies together and organized in preparation for the trip. When I had most all of the important stuff done, I did the dry-goods order at Tutu's a day early (since I usually do it on Tuesdays, and I have no time today), I collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage did cow-milking food, and finally I chopped and dumped old/used coconuts at the cocobar, cleaning the area as I went. Once I was done with coconuts, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and headed back to the Flow House to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had so many notifications last night that I was not able to get through then all before I made myself stop at 12AM to go to bed. I woke up around 6AM, not having slept well, doing another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed around 8:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Hans. After milking was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11:30AM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, and then get everything together to leave for the Hamakua coast. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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.
