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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
My passion, commitment, and dedication to Hive came very soon after arriving on the Blockchain, where I found myself enthralled by this incredible Ecosystem, the most elegant and efficient financial system that I had ever seen, and the massive potential of it all. I saw a vision of what was possible, both for me personally, and for my fellow Hivers, which inspired me so much that I dove in deep, and have been all-in for the long haul ever since, giving my all every day, making my Hive dream a reality.
There is something about Hive that fits my personality it would seem, because even after 3.25 years on the Blockchain, I'm more passionate and excited than ever, with me making new external investments, both fiat and off-chain crypto, as often as I'm able, as well as leveraging and growing the assets that I have available daily. I'm so passionate because I know that I'm building something important, for myself and many others, which is what propels me forward.
To me, Hive truly is my personal business, as well as my bank, and that's exactly how I treat it, giving my time, energy, focus, and effort, to building and growing my account and the income of assets connected to it, over time. Since I own my keys, and thus my assets, no bank or government has access to my funds, and I can use them however I want, which is exactly as it should be.
What I'm creating on Hive will one day support me sufficiently to be able to live off of what I generate here, as well as providing resources to be able to assist a great many people and projects across the Hive Ecosystem, and even off-chain. I intend to go to whale level, and help as many others as I can get there too. We're all in business with each other here on Hive, with an elegant financial system that we create, own, and control, so the potential of what we can accomplish together is huge.
That's exactly why I get excited and look forward to Hive traditions like HPUD, because it represents our individual and collective choice to invest in ourselves, by investing in the Blockchain. I'm ready to go for the February HPUD, which in my time zone is after 2PM today, with around 45 HIVE to power up. Every HIVE that I power up is a brick in my path to whalehood, so I celebrate every one! Are you ready for the February HPUD?
Yesterday, Thursday, after wrapping up my Hive tasks, just after 12:30PM, I prepared for my session with Riana at 1:30PM. We started on time, and although the weather was not ideal at all for a session, it was a very good one, with Riana leaving happy and grateful. We have a tropical storm passing through, so it was very windy and rainy yesterday, with no real wind today, but instead torrential rains. As such, I've only been able to take a very few photos for these posts. After Riana left, I stopped by the Landing to collect my superfood fire coffee, and then I returned to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I finished a bit after 10:45PM, and after writing and publishing My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 358 - Bodacious Bamboo Shadows, some token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed a little after 11:30PM. I woke up about 6AM, still needing more sleep, to see, much to my chagrin, that the power was out. I made the best of it, doing my usual round of token management, starting on this post, and then going to milk Daisy with Jo, in between torrential rain. When milking was done, I finally made my superfood fire coffee when power returned, and made my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so an excellent 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 try to take more photos for these posts, weather permitting, and then to collect cow food. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
