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 know for some of you it's already 2025, but for me out here in Hawai'i it's still the morning of the 31st, so I still have one more day of 2024, and it'll be a busy one as usual, both on Hive, and here in this jungle community. Today sometime after 2PM (when Hive's UTC switches to a new day) I'll be powering up 46+ HIVE and doing my January HPUD post about it. With that powerup I should reach 8,600 HP before the end of the week, which is pretty great, since I only past 8,500 HP last week.

So the @alive.chat community activities are a go for re-launch, and I'm planning to make an official announcement on the @alive.chat account on January 1st (tomorrow), though it's going to be a full day, so I'll need to do in the evening. We presently have 3 activities to start, sharing goals for the week (and progress as it continues) on Monday with @cursephantom, staking ALIVE tokens on Tuesday with @cursephantom, and sharing engagement on Saturday with @edgerik. We would love more Alive Tribe members to get involved to host other activities on other days, so it that sounds interesting to you, let me know, and we'll set it up. Ideally we'd have 2 or 3 hosts for each day's activity, but that will hopefully come in time.

I have a session scheduled for tomorrow, New Year's Day, with my dear friend, Lea, something that we've been meaning to do, and which she has been wanting, for a while now. I gave her friend, Isabelle (who's staying with her for a time), a session on Saturday, which went beautifully well, so much so that she sent me these exquite texts this morning that has my heart overflowing with gratitude:

Aloha and good morning, my friend. 

I just wanted to report back to you how amazing I feel after my incredibly auspicious visit with you. Gosh, my body feels so good. So much better and more at ease on all levels. 

It was truly one of the best body and soul sessions I've ever received. 💎

You are a total magician. So great to relax with your consciousness and touch. 
Feeling blessed and so so grateful. 
What a gift. 

Mahalos

My life feels so much richer knowing you. 💎

What an amazing 🎁 

You are ❤️‍🔥🌺👁️👂🏻💪🏼🖐🏼🌊💎🌈

I can barely express how much this means to me, and how immensely grateful that I am to be able to do this work, and to truly assist the women who come to see me. Her words are pure music to my heart. That is my greatest desire and intention for my sessions. My heart is utterly beaming.

I may, perhaps, update one of my 2025 Hive goals, since I have a feeling that this is going to be a truly incredible year, and in so many ways. I had chosen 13,000 HP as my goal for the year, which is indeed an achievable stretch, but I've been growing various off-chain crypto assets, and I may indeed be able to use them to do another mega-powerup at some point in 2025. With that in mind, I'm considering upping my year-end goal to 15,000 HP. I'll let it percolate today, but I'm pretty sure that I'm going to go for it!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just a little before 1:30PM, putting my attention first on going to milk Daisy with Sol, which went pretty smoothly. After milking, Iolanthe asked me if I could make her some food, which I did, and I hung out with her while she ate. Once I dropped Io off (she likes riding on my shoulders) at Braja's, I returned to the Flow House for a short token-management break, then I went to the Landing to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), to Tutu's to get some food supplies for the Landing, and to bring 2 full propane tanks to my side of the property, one as a backup for the Landing, and the other to the dryer. With all that done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. Sol wanted to learn how I did it, so she joined me. After cow food was done, I took a shower, collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, then I made my way back to the Flow House, to dive into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done on Hive rather late, a bit after 11:30PM, and after some token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just before 12:15AM. I did thankfully sleep pretty well, waking up around 7:30AM, doing a round of token management, starting on this post, getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11:30AM, so a marvelous time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to take photos for these posts, do the dry-goods order in Tutu's, and collect cow food. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my HPUD post later today, and the next iteration of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

2025 Life Goals

1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.

2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.

3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.

4.) 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
