I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I completely forgot that it is the Spring Equinox today, and it only came into my awareness when I heard someone mention it this evening in our community logistics meeting. Every day after this the days are longer than the nights once again! Yay!
With it being Hive's third birthday, I was reflecting today on just how incredibly grateful I am to have found Hive when I did. I'm just a few days away from being on the Hive Blockchain for one and a half years! Man I've come a long way since I started!
Aside from time in the leadership council meeting, I spent my whole morning to late afternoon doing Hive, focused on catch up and daily tasks. It's still amazing to me that able to devote so much time each day to Hive (and Arch Linux too). Living out in the jungle without a conventional job certainly has its advantages! I also get to live naked, which is pretty bloody badass! My life here is to wildly different than when I lived anywhere on the mainland! It's truly a whole different world!
I left the Flow House today just after 3PM, to go do some work on the land. I ended up doing a repair on a quite hight amd precarious rain gutter, behind Stefano's lab, that feeds our water tanks. It took me a fair bit of time, patience, and improvisation, but in the end I succeeded in fixing it, thankfully.
Once I finished the gutter repair, I got my machete and cleared various overgrown areas near the Landing and out on the second driveway, working up a good sweat in the process. I'm very efficient with a machete, I'll say that!
With those two tasks done, I took a shower, strained out another round of kefir and used it to blend up a new batch of my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao concoction, made myself some food, and returns to the Flow House to eat and do another round of Hive catch up before our community logistics meeting at 6:30PM. The meeting lasted a bit longer than usual, ending just before 8PM. That's later than I like because it doesn't give me much time to get everything I have to do on Hive done before bed.
Two of those tasks thst I needed to get done beside sleep was to write and publish both my Index4Index Inspired Motivation: Invest in Yourself! post, and this post. I actually dozed off as I was writing this post, so it's now almost 12:30AM, so I'd say that it's time to finish it up for the night and go to sleep!
I'm super grateful for Hive, and to be able to share it with you all every day! I truly have so much appreciation for my Hive family! Now it's time for me to go to dreamland! Until tomorrow! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
