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've been such a buzzy bee both online and off that I completely forgot to mention that I past the milestone of 8,500 HP a few days ago (presently just under 8,520 HP), which was earlier than expected. Even though my HP is not growing as quickly as some, it still amazes me just how quickly it is growing, along with the other significant assets in which I'm investing.
With HPUD coming up on Tuesday (in my time zone), I'll give my Hive Power another boost of a little over 40 HIVE, which will take me past 8,560 HP. That means that I'll surpass 8,600 HP this coming week, which is a great way to start the New Year. While it's not as much as I had hoped to have by the end of the year, it is still excellent, and I'm still grateful.
Since there are only 3 days left until January 1st, the time has come for me to assess my 2024 goals, both for Hive, and the life goals that I have at the bottom of these posts, and to create new ones for 2025. Going into the New Year my life goals need to be fewer and more focused, as my success with the ones that I chose for this year was very hit or miss. For my Hive goals, I need to extrapolate more accurately how quickly I'm actually growing here, to be able to fashion better goals, since I only reached (and far surpassed) one of the three (Reputation exceeded, HP and HBD in Savings not reached) that I chose for the year.
I'm definitely better at crafting weekly goals than yearly ones, though I learn and adapt quickly, so I'm pretty sure that the goals that I chose for 2025 will indeed be achieved. To make effective goals, which should be achievable stretches, I need to take stock of how things actually are, how well I'm doing in any particular area, and then aim for a goal that is a little beyond what I'm consistently able to do now.
I wanted to give a quick update on The We Are Alive Tribe, and our plans to get the @alive.chat activities rolling once again by the beginning of the year. Since it's the holidays, things are going a little slower than hoped, but they are still moving. At the moment it's looking like the @alive.chat relaunch will be within the first or second week of January, with an official post announcing it a short though reasonable time before that. On my end, finding the time to put together the official announcement post is a bit challenging, but I shall do my absolute best, as always.
Yesterday, Saturday, was a day that just felt different, very easeful and expansive, and it flowed elegantly well, both in terms of what I did, and the timing. I got everything on Hive done earlier than expected, just before 12PM, which gave me a nice amount of time to set up the Flow House for Isabelle's session, and to take lots of lovely photos for these posts. Isabelle arrived on time for her session, and we ended up starting just a little after 1:30PM, and finishing up around 6PM, so a fairly long session. She was blown away, and very impressed with the session, and she left feeling amazing, and deeply grateful, which is absolutely beautiful music for my heart. After Isabelle left, I went to the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and returned to the Flow House, to get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had fewer than usual, so I was able to finish by just a little after 9PM, at which point I wrote and published My Entry for Reflection Hunters Contest: Round 199 - Lichen Reflections, did some token management, scanned my X feed, then I went to bed a little after 11PM. I did sleep pretty well, waking up around 8:30AM, doing a round of token management, beginning on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy. Daisy was off in the jungle again when I arrived at the milking stantion, so I came back to the Flow House write and publish this post first. It's now just after 12:15PM, 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 a little later in the afternoon, to go milk Daisy, and to collect her cow-milking food for tomorrow. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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.
