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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
This past week was quite an excellent one for me in terms of my Hive Power (even though I fell just short of my my weekly HP goal), with me gaining almost 60 HP, and all from organic growth, without the assisting boost of an HPUD powerup. That's a very nice increase to my usual norm lately, and because of that it means that I'll reach and surpass 9,400 Hive Power at some point this week. Since I only reached 9,300 HP last week, that's pretty sweet, and I'm very grateful! My Reputation also had a much stronger increase last week than usual, and more than I've had in quite some time, 0.05 points, which is exceptionally good. Both my stronger HP growth, and my more rapid increase in Reputation, come from some very good upvotes on a few of my posts and comments, which was a lovely surprise indeed.
I know I might sound like a broken record to those who frequent my posts, but I can't help it, I have so very much excitement bubbling up inside of me about what I'm in midst of building and growing on this beloved Blockchain, both for myself and for everyone else in my circle. This passion that I feel for my asset-leveraging game (and oh what a wonderfully fun game it is!) here within the glorious Hive Ecosystem continues to grow by the day, as my multitude of diverse assets also grow ever-more quickly. From my focus and work, the liquidity that I have available to further leverage and invest is beginning to reach some quite respectable levels, which is immensely satisfying and motivating to me, and yes, it's super exciting!
I feel this same level of excitement and motivation for doing my asset-leveraging magic for the We Are Alive Tribe, because I know at some point we're going to have some very deep resources with which we'll be able to support the community and help it, and everyone in it, to grow. These resources will also allow us to be able to offer support to allied communities and projects, as well as to collaborate and co-create with them in ever-more significant and mutually-beneficial ways.
This fun asset-leveraging-and-growing game is not limited to my beloved Hive, however, because I'm also an intrepid blockchain explorer, with a presence and activity in multiple sovereignty and community-driven blochain ecosystems, where I'm earning and growing multiple useful assets. As cross-blockchain interconectivity and interoperability becomes more of a reality every day, with it the possiblity of cross-chain leveraging also moves closer to a practical and easeful actuality. This also touches on and connects with the idea of cross-blockchain communities, that bridge multiple ecosystems.
Imagine the We Are Alive Tribe spanning an array of blockchains, uniting people in friendship, trust, collaboration, and mutual-support. I already know several people across multiple blockchains, which I think is fantastic. These possibilities open the door for shared multi-chain asset-leveraging and growth, for the benefit and good of the whole blockchain-bridging community. This idea has huge potential, and it's something that I very much want to explore. Wouldn't it be cool to have a whole community of people ready and willing to help you get started in a new blockchain ecosystem, both with assets and important information about the similarities and differences between the various blockchains, so that you can orient and acclimate yourself quickly and easily? Wouldn't that be incredibly useful? I know it sure would to me, and guess what, we can make it happen! I'm game, how about you?
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, a bit late (hey, it was Sunday!), around 2:45PM, putting my attention first on some photography for these posts. My friend Lea came over around 3:30PM for me to show her the process of straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and to give her some kefir grains to start her own culture. We shared some lovely conversation, as we always do, and after she left, I collected my jar of superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and 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 by just after 12AM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by around 12:30AM. I woke up about 6AM, doing more asset management, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 150th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: INCOME Token Change, New Liquidity Pools, and 9,400 HP This Week!, and then to immediately start writing this post. It's now just before 2PM, so a really good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for these posts, and then community/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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
