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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Needing to evacuate the Flow House last week, and work and sleep in the Kasbah, due to the intense winds and rain, and losing BeeSwap a few days ago, which was my primary asset-management interface, has thrown asunder my consistent daily routine, especially on Hive. I'm doing my best, but I've got to admit that I'm struggling a fair bit now. It's been very challenging to focus on the various tasks, both online and off, that I need to get done each day. I still feel very out of sorts and scattered. I had the intention of writing and publishing my already-late goals-and-progress update this morning, before starting on this post, but yeah, that didn't happen, again.

With how inefficient and slow asset management is now without BeeSwap, I can really only fit in one round per day, both on my own account, and on @aliveandthriving and @heartbeatvault01, usually in the evening, and just before I go to sleep, which has been keeping me up quite late. Even doing it just once each day, I usually still have to leave one account for the morning, as it just takes so bloody long.

We had intense rains again yesterday, and the Flow House got pretty wet inside again, including my bed, so moving back up there is still looking pretty iffy. That's quite a problem indeed. I don't really know what I'm going to do yet, since I'm presently still working and sleeping in a community space, the Kasbah, and aside from the Flow House, there's not really any other place for me to go presently, so I'm in limbo.

My daily Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' routine and tasks, which have received unwavering focus, are one of the primary means that I've found inspiration and motivation in my life for a good while now, and how I've been able to keep myself functional for extended periods of time with my still-shattered heart, and no close human connections. Working in a community space now, with people sharing affection, touch, and closeness with each other around me, is very challenging for me, because it just makes it all too apparent what I do not have in my own life. Yeah, I'm not doing so well, but forward I continue.

There's no question that a major change and shift is necessary in my life, and somewhat soon, as the way I've been doing things is not really sustainable long-term, because there is no balance or wholeness, but I don't yet know how, in what way, or when it might come. I just know that it's squarely in my face, and that I'm feeling it all quite strongly right now; guided and protected, hopeless and lost, supported and completely alone.

Yesterday, Monday, there was so much rain, and due to the leadership council meeting being held in the Kasbah in the afternoon, I had to temporarily relocate myself and my computer to Wabisabi, to complete my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. Because of all the relocation chaos, and the persistent rain, I really wasn't able accomplish anything in terms of jungle-community/land work or tasks. I finally turned on the generator in the early evening, and I made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, longevity spinach leaves, pepperjack cheese, olive oil, and sea salt) in Wabisabi, before collecting my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and heading back to the Kasbah to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by around 10PM, and after getting asset management done on my account, and on @heartbeatvault01, I went to bed by just before 11:45PM. I woke up just after 7:15AM, having slept well, taking a goodly number of photos in the morning light, doing asset management on @aliveandthriving, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, returning to the Kasbah to unsuccessfully try to write my goals-and-progress update, then finally beginning on this post. It's now just before 12PM, so it's a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Kasbah a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my late goals-and-progress update (hopefully) later this evening, and the next version of these posts tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
