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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Happy Hive Powerup Day! Although it's still Saturday, November 30th for me, after 2PM my time (when UTC that Hive uses switches to a new day), it will be game on for me to powerup some HIVE, and then write and publish a post about it. This time around, I'll be powering up close to 45 HIVE, and also surpassing 8,300 HP in the process.
This is going to be my 16th HPUD participation in total, and my 14th in a row, and I have no plans on stopping. This HPUD is a special one, because it was a year ago today, on the last December HPUD, that I did my mega-powerup to dolphin level, where I powered up 2,715.315 HIVE, which gave me 5,788.852 Hive Power.
I'll do an updated caputulation in my HPUD post, but as of today, and inclucluding the HIVE to be powered up, I've gained a little over 2,556 HP in a year's time, so almost as much as I powered up last December. While it could be better, it's definitely not bad.
Last HPUD, my powerup took me past the threshold of 8,100 HP, and this round it'll take me over 8,300 HP, so some good advancent in a month. So far I've gained a bit over 226 HP since my powerup last month, so a little less than the last round, but still quite good. The difference can probably be explained by the change in BXT payouts that saw my daily earnings drop by half, and by the higher-fiat value of HIVE, which lowers the APR, and of course variances in post payouts.
On a different topic, I've got three posts, including this one, to write and publish today. I really prefer to spread my posts out a bit more, and I really should have published my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest last night, especially with having my HPUD post today as well, but alas, that is not how it flowed, so I've got three to do today. Such a rapid succession of posts is not generally very good for upvotes and payouts, but I work with the timing that I've got. A very buzzy Hive bee I am!
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, later than usual, just before 3PM. I would have left sooner, but I forgot that I had to send out the IDD rewards for the Shadow Hunters Contest. I focused first on getting a ladder to check the water level in the new cachement tanks that we were filling, as backups. It was about 3/4 full when I checked, so I left it for a bit longer, putting my attention on a few smaller tasks that needed doing. I leveled out the ground around Braja's composting toilet, that the chickens had scuffed up a bit. I was able to get a fair number of photos yesterday, including those for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, even though the sun was mostly hidden behind clouds. After turning off the water going into the new catchment tanks, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted foliage for cow-milking food. When I had that done, I made myself some food in the Landing (ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, sea salt, and cheese), then with my food, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I headed back up to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Soon after arriving there, Elohi texted me to ask if I could go down to Tutu's to make him some food, which I paused Hive to go do. I ended up making food for both Elohi and Iolanthe, his sister. After finshing with that, and walking Io to Braja's place, I made my way back to the Flow House to return to Hive. I got everything done on Hive by around 10:30PM, and after some token management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed just a little after 12:15AM. I did not sleep well again, unfortunately, waking up just before 8:45AM, definitely feeling that I needed more sleep, doing a round of token management, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk the cow with Jo. Once I was done milking, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a very 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, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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.
