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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
I past the milestone of 7,700 Hive Power today in the wee hours of the morning, pretty much on schedule with my guestimation. At my present rate of growth, I'll reach 7,800 HP in two week's time, and 8,000 HP by the middle of October, perhaps even earlier. That would give me two and a half months to achieve my year-end goal of 10,000 HP. I'll do my absolute best, of course.
My year-end goal for Reputation was reached in the first week of August, with it growing a fair bit faster than I expected. As of today, I'm at 70.18 Reputation, so I will likely be more than a third of the way through Reputation Level 70 by the end of the year.
HBD in Savings, which presently sits at 333.702, is going to need a boost for me to be able to achieve my year-end goal of 500, still having 166.298 HBD to go. The lowering of the APR to 15% definitely didn't help in successfully reaching this goal, but even with that APR, HBD in Savings is still a very solid investment, so it will remain one of my main focused for growth, and hence, my ongoing goals.
Given how important certain income tokens have become for my growth here, I'm thinking about adding some of them, like BXT and DRIP, to my weekly and yearly goals. I plan to acquire a large quantity of both of these tokens, along with several other solid ones. My account growth since my mega powerup to Dolphin 🐬 Level on December 1st has been quite astonishing. After that super powerup, I had 5,788.852 Hive Power, which means that based on the 7,704.084 HP that I presently have, that I gained 1,915.232 HP in the span of 10 and a half months. If I extrapolate this present rate of growth to December 31st, during which time I should gain approximately 1,528.571 HP more, that means that by the end of the year I should have gained 3,443.803 HP, and that by year's end I should have around 9,232.655 HP, so quite close to my year-end HP goal, being under by only 767.345 HP. That is very doable. So my account is now growing at a rate of almost 3,500 HP in a year's time. Most excellent indeed.
Yesterday, Thursday, was a very challenging day. We found out that, Sperry, a fellow that lived here in this jungle community with me, and who was a friend of mine, killed himself near the beginning of the week. He left the property Monday morning, and didn't come back. This shook everyone, most especially his partner Soozi, with whom I, and a few other people, spent many hours yesterday, at various points, to hold space for, comfort, and console. Yeah, it was a really rough day. I aside from Hive and a few photographs, the only thing that I did yesterday was to help support Soozi. I got all my Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications, done by around 9:30PM. I spent a time more posting and engaging on Waves and Ecency proper, doing a little more token management, and checking in on Bastyon and Hive, before going to bed around 11:30PM. I woke up first at 3:30AM, and unable to sleep, I did a quick round of token management, before making another only-partially successful attempt at sleeping some more. I 'woke up' again around 9AM, way later than usual, still feeling that I neeeded more sleep, doing a another round of token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed around 9:30AM, to go make my superfood fire coffee.
I spent about two hours in the Landing talking with Ano and Zai about what happened with Sperry, along with a few other important subjects. Melekai came in for the later part of the conversation. I had to peel away by 11:30AM to return to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:30PM, so a very good time to end this post, so that I can get to a few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), take more photos for these posts, help take care of Sooozi, and land work. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
