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 my post yesterday I talked about how I had switched to using Engage to find all my notifications, since Ecency's notification system is not entirely reliable in that regard. While Engage is super useful, there is one issue with it that made it necessary to use Hive Inbox in conjunction with it. Basically, if a comment or reply is buried in a nested comment thread, then Engage will only open the top-level post. Hive Inbox, however, does open the comment or reply, regardless of whether it is buried in a comment thread or not. So using them both together actually works quite well, and allows me to find and respond to all relevant notifications. It would be great if all the needed functionality were included in one app, but I work with what I have, as both Engage and Hive Inbox are excellent in their own way.

I still do use Ecency's notifications for a few things that don't show up in either Engage or Hive Inbox, like notifications when favorited accounts publish posts, and the reminder to claim Ecency Points. So across three notification systems I'm now able to find all of my notifications. I gotta say that as much as I love and appreciate Ecency, it really does miss quite a lot of notifications, as I found some from weeks and even months ago that I had never seen. Doh! Oh well, now I know.

As I've been mentioning for a while now, @borniet and I have plans to create several more tipping bots and tokens, with various focuses and uses, that will all be a part of our larger umbrella MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project. Well, I'm happy to share that our newest one, the @zombiebot, with its BRN (Brains) token, has just been brought online, and is now alive (or as 'alive' as an undead zombie can be) in the Hive Ecosystem. This is one that we've both wanted to get up and running soon, and thankfully with a little more time on his hands, @borniet made it happen just a few hours ago. There will be an introductory post about it, and its intended uses, as soon as time permits.

This new @zombiebot, like all of our tipping bots now (after a little coding magic from @borniet), is a multi-call bot, which will answer an array of different tip calls. This feature is very new, and we've been having a lot of fun with it on the other bots, so it seemed fitting to add it to this new tipping bot as well. I still have to make a list of all the various calls which will work with each bot, but as soon as I do, I'll be sure to share it with everyone very soon.

As we progress in unfolding the whole MMB Meta-Project, we plan to add as much value and use to each part of it, including each tipping bot and token, as we possibly can, over time. Tipping bots on Hive will never be the same, that is for sure, and we'll be taking them to a whole new level!

Yesterday, after finishing up my Hive tasks, I left the Flow House earlier than usual, just a little after 12PM. I made myself some eggs (from our chickens), with onions, tomatoes, sea salt, and cheese, in the Landing, before I dove into any work tasks. That really hit the spot. After finishing my food, I cleaned off leaves and debris from the awning of the in front of the Landing, then after taking a shower, and a short break, I focused on doing a thorough weeding job in front of the Flow House, and along the trail going to it, something that I had been meaning to do for weeks. It felt good to finally get it done, as things were getting a little out of hand. After another shower, I collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I got everything done somewhere around 10PM, then after a little more engagement on Waves and Ecency proper, checking in on my X feed, and talking with @borniet on Discord, I finally went to sleep around 12AM. I woke up around 5AM, and unable to sleep more, I did a round of token management, started on this post, scanned my X feed again (I strongly suggest that everyone gets themselves on X, as it is truly an incredible source for important information about what's happening in the world now), and then I got out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Melekai. It's now just after 11:30PM, so a great time to end this post, before leaving the Flow House shortly, to possibly attend a community meeting presently in progress, take more photos for these posts, and then community work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest later today, and the next edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
