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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
At some point today I'll attain and surpass 7,800 Hive Power, two weeks after blowing past 7,700 HP, which shows the remarkable, and ever-accelerating growth that I've been seeing on my account as of late. I know that soon I'll be gaining 100 HP per week, something that astounds even me. This also clearly demonstrates to me that my unwavering and tenacious commitment, dedication, determination, consistency, perseverence, and persistence to Hive, and what I'm building and growing here, are most definitely paying off, and more so every day. I'll also be powering up around 40 HIVE for the October HPUD in just a few days, so another nice boost to speed things up even more.
I only recently reached Reputation level 70 a short while ago, and as of last night I'm already at 70.25, so it's increasing quite a bit more quickly than I anticipated, especially considering that it's 30% harder to do than being at 69. This also astonishes me greatly, and in the most wondeful way. Getting to Reputation level 70 was the first of my year-end goals to be accomplished, and notably ahead of schedule.
I'm just over 342 HBD in Savings now, not a lot yet, but it's also growing fairly quickly, even with the 15% APR. All HBD that I receive immediately goes into Savings, so between that, and the 4+ HBD that I receive in interest presently, I'm adding a little over 7.5 HBD each month. My year-end goals of 500 HBD in Savings, and 10,000 HP, are both going to be close, and may indeed still require some boosts to achieve them, but I'm still determined.
The @zombiebot that @borniet and I just rolled out seems to be working well, which is great to see. That now brings us to 6 tipping bots, @indeedly, @hopelizer, @weirdly, @thestrider, @zombiebot, along with @mmbbot, that is working, though presently still under development, and so far only for our own internal testing. All 6 bots now accept multiple tip calls, though I want to go over the list of existing commands, to tweak and add more calls, before sharing them with the community. Yesterday afternoon, and in the wee hours of the morning today, I created and continued updating a rough roadmap for the MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Meta-Project. We've still got a few things to work out, but I'm hopeful that I'll have it done and ready to share with the Hive Community pretty soon. My excitement keeps building as the details, and the full scope of it, come more clearly into focus. If we succeed in this endeavor, there won't be anything else like it on the Blockchain.
All of this just 3 years after my arrival on Hive. If this isn't a testament to what focused work over time can do in this exceptional Ecosystem, I don't know what is. And as I've said, this truly is just the beginning. You just wait and see. When I say that I'm all-in for the long haul on Hive, and that I intend to help lift as many others around me as I possibly can in the process, I damn well mean it.
Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished my Hive tasks, just before 12PM, putting my attention first on taking a round of photos for these posts. When I was satisfied with what I had, I got my machete and did some clearing work around my Myore blackberry, which was getting a bit overgrown, and along various places along the second driveway between the Flow House and the Landing. After that, I took a shower, and returned to the Flow House for a while to rest, since I was a little sleep-deprived from the night before. In the early evening I went to the Landing to make myself some food, mini-burgers made with spiced and seasoned ground beef, cheese, and spicy brown mustard. My body has been craving meat, eggs, and cheese lately, so I've been obliging, and it's very much been hitting the spot. I got through all my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications (using Ecency, Engage, and Hive Inbox) by around 9:30PM, and I spent the time afterward doing a bit more engagement on Waves and Ecency proper, and scanning my X feed, before finally going to bed around 11:30PM. Unfortunately I didn't sleep very well, in part due to inspiration around various aspects of MMB coming into my mind at the most inconvenient hour. I did my best to sleep until 8:30AM, before finally just starting on my morning token management, beginning this post, and then getting out of bed around 9AM to go make my superfood fire coffee. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House soon, to first head to the Landing to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), take more photos for these posts, and then community-land work. 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.
