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 Hive Power continues to grow at a rate greater than my expectations, and given that HP is one of the most valuable assets on the Blockchain, I'd say that this is a very good thing. My HPUD powerup took me past 8,300 HP, and almost half way to 8,400 HP, which I have a very good chance of reaching at some point this week. That's pretty sweet.

I've finally come to accept that I won't be reaching my year-end Hive Goals of 10,000 HP and 500 HBD in Savings. I only achieved one of my year-end Hive goals, a Reputation of 70, which I far exceeded, with a 70.57 Reputation as of today. At least I reached one. I'll just have to make far better, and more realistic goals for the new year. Coming up with weekly goals is pretty easy, though goals for the whole year are a bit more challenging it would seem.

Regardless of whether goals are reached, be they weekly, monthly, or yearly, I am still always very grateful for the significant growth that I am seeing, and which continues to accelerate. Hive is a business for me, as I've said many times before, that I've judiciously been building and growing since I arrived on this glorious Blockchain 3 years, 2 months, and 9 days ago. In this time and process, there have been both losses and gains, with the gains very thankfully far exceeding the losses.

Most businesses take about 5 years to become successful, where the profits finally begin to exceed the expenses. At 3+ years, I'm quite a bit more than half way there, though there is much still to accomplish. I'm still not at a place where I can live off of what I generate on Hive, where the interest each month is notably more than what I need, which is one of my ultimate goals, and which I will one day achieve.

This Hive business that I'm building and growing is not just for me, of course. I also desire and intend to be able to strongly support the Hive community, both individuals and communities, and to fund the development sovereignty-driven technological frameworks. The success of my Hive business means the greater success of yours as well, and of the whole Blockchain, for they are inherently linked together. Together, we are building an economy of abundance for everyone on Hive.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after I finished up my Hive tasks, just a little after 1:30PM, putting my attention first on taking a round of photos for these posts, which I did thankfully succeed in doing. When photography was done, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted foliage for cow-milking food. That didn't take very long, which is good, because I was on a fairly tight schedule. When cow food was done, I took a shower, then I returned to the Flow House for a quick rest, before heading over to Lea's place to continue helping her with pruning and clearing work. We got a lot done again, with a short break in the middle, and finished up just before sunset, at which point I walked back to GaiaYoga, after my good byes and a sweet hug with Lea. As soon as I got back to GYG, I headed to the Landing to make myself some food (spices and seasoned mini beef patties, with pepper jack cheese, and honey mustard), and to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee, before returning to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done on Hive by just before 9PM, and after a break to finally get through my backlogged Bastyon notifications, one more round on my Hive notifications, some token management, and a quick scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 11:45PM. I did thankfully sleep well, waking up around 7:30PM, doing another round of token management, and writing and publishing My 131st Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 3/3 Weekly Goals Achieved, and 8,300 HP Surpassed!, before going to milk the cow with Jo, and to make my superfood fire coffee. It's now just before 1PM, so a great 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 first take more photos for these posts, strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao), and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of this post! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
