I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #309 - I Am So Grateful for Hive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, June 1, 2023
I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in a 16-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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Every single day since I arrived here on Hive one year, eight months, one week, and two days ago, I have felt immense, overflowing gratitude for this brilliant Blockchain and its incomparable community of kind, friendly, warm, caring, helpful, supportive, and generous people. I've been in many communities and on many platforms, and I can say that what you and I have here in our beloved Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is very special indeed!
I am deeply grateful for all of the support that I've received on Hive that has gotten me to the a place that I am now. I couldn't have done it alone, at all. And that's the core message of Hive; that we're all in this together, and that we rise my lifting others!
I am so very thankful for The Alive Tribe, where I have always felt very seen, appreciated, and supported. It truly is a superlative community, and one of the very best on Hive, with some of the best tokens, too!
Are there things about Hive, Hive Engine, or particular front-ends that annoy and frustrate me? Of course! Do I let that get in the way of my immense appreciation for it! Absolutely not! Even in the time I've been here, Hive has developed quite a lot, and I have no doubt that it will continue to do so, and in some pretty incredible ways. Hive's only getting better!
Hive is an truly incredible opportunity, and I'm giving it my all every single day, taking advantage of that opportunity to the best of my ability! Thank you so very much, Hive!
This first day of June was quite cloudy, wet, and rainy all day. I was thankfully able to fully catch up on Hive relatively early today, and get a few tasks done earlier than usual too.
I left the Flow House arround 4:30PM, after having devoted the whole morning up to that that time to Hive. Marco has asked me do a short plant walk with him, so that I could show him plants that could help him with is painful tooth issue. I showed him a few of the most pertinent plants, of which there is a good supply.
After introducing Marco to medicinal plants, I went to clear trails in the front orchard with my machete, though things didn't go quite according to plan. There are several hives of bees near this orchard, that were still irate from the beekeepers visit yesterday. The bees are on GaiaYoga's property, but they're not our bees. The beekeepers keep them on our land, and we get pollination from the bees, and honey as compensation. In any case when I was clearing in the orchard trails I got stung twice, once on the back of my head, and once on my left elbow. Needless to say I chose to machete there another day.
With it so wet and rainy outside, my motivation to work outside was nil, so after my short bit of machete work, I made food in the Landing, then returns to the Flow House to continue with Hive. After dark Ano called to ask if I could work on his neck for a bit, as it was still tweaky. He called back a few minutes later to ask if I could go with him down our jungle road to clear a fallen tree had blocked the road, preventing Jo(hana), who lives at GaiaYoga, from being able to return home. Even though I brought my machete, Ano was able to cut it sufficiently with the electric chainsaw for me to be able to move the pieces off the road.
Once we had cleared the fallen tree, we returned to GaiaYoga, and I worked on Ano's neck for a little while up at the Flow House. After finishing working on Ano, I did a few short Hive tasks, then I began writing this post.
It's now almost 12AM, and I'm falling asleep as I type this, so it's off to bed with me! I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
All photos were taken with my Motorola G Power 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! 😁🙏💚

Nature in perspective
Yes, here we are deep in Nature, and it is very close indeed! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
That's part of the greatness, that Hive is so huge, there's room for everyone and everything! And space enough to avoid the parts one doesn't enjoy 💜
This is my goto for toothache: soak a few cloves in a tablespoon or two of vodka for 2-3 days, strain, then brush the affected area with the tincture. With a water colour brush, or a q-tip, not a tooth brush! Store the tincture in the fridge and it'll keep for years. Does it cure? Well, no, it simply damps the pain. The cloves and alcohol does help with inflammations though. What plants did you use?
Yes, exactly! There are so many different ways to do things on Hive, that we can usually find something that works for us.
Clove in vodka, I can see how that would be useful! Thank you for sharing your method! Interestingly one of the plants I recommended has the name clove basil (also called vana tulsi or tree basil, and the botanical name Oncimum gratissimum), as it makes your mouth go numb when you chew it. That one, cure-for-all (Pluchea caroliniensis), and plantain (Plantago major). There are others that are also very useful, but I don't have enough of them yet to harvest. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
That sounds like a useful plant! Does it also work on bruises? Like, crushing the leaves into a paste and applying to a bruise? Or a sore back?
It is! Super useful! It's one of the holy basils/tulsi, that have a great many beneficial effects in the body, one of which is acting as an adaptogen, helping to being the body back into balance, whether it is overreacting or underreacting. It does help with pain and in healing, so it would likely help with bruises. It truly is a miracle plant! Plants are magic! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Great job mate yes there are a few things on Hive that frustrate me also but nothing is perfect and i am sure it will all be ironed out in the process of development.😎
It is still an awesome platform i am grateful to be a part off.😉
There are some amazing plants there my friend✌️
Have a fantastic weekend my friend

It's quite a busy day for you. The rain always do things in our favor sometimes.
Medicinal plants for toothache, I wish you could share those here too.
Lovely photos as usual.
Keep hiving, it makes us more happy.
Thank you @jmis101! Yes, I got quite a bit done on Hive! Yep, I appreciate rainy days!
One of the plants is one that you may know there in Nigeria, as it's is used extensively there. Oncimum gratissimum, in Nigeria it's called scent leaf, ntonng, efinrin, daidoya, or nchanwu. The others are Pluchea caroliniensis, or cure-for-all, and Plantago major, or plantain. There are others that are also very effective, but I didn't have enough of those yet to use.
Thank you so much again, dear, I'm really grateful that you appreciate them! Oh yes, Hive gets a lot of focus! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Wow
That's interesting, thank you very much for sharing the plants.
Have a blessed day.
Absolutely, you're most welcome dear! Thank you, and very likewise! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Alright dear
😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Very nice, not letting frustrations to get in your way. Keep making the community great!
Thank you so much @vaynard86! Hive is amazingballs, regardless of any minor annoyances! That's always my desire and intention! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Do you really walk around naked?
Nice pictures as usual, Tydyn :)
!PIZZA
Hehe...yep. In the last five years I have very rarely worn clothes. Living where I do they simply aren't necessary. I go usually many weeks before I wear anything at all. Being able to live barefooted and naked (direct connection) with earth and nature is one of those very important things for me.
Thank you so much @hafiz34! I'm grateful that you appreciate them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
All people there, male or female, live the same way!!
All people can, as the whole 16-acre property is clothing-optional, though not everybody does. Some people are always naked, like me, some people, like Ano's mother is always clothed, and most others go back and forth depending on the day. All of our humanity is accepted here, so whether someone is naked, clothed, or somewhere in between, nobody cares. The most popular beach in the area with the locals, Kehena, has been clothing-optional since 1955, so nakedness is not rare here. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Bee stings have a very short-term effect, so I don't usually use anything for them. They go away quickly. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Oh, thanks. The first one as you pointed out is readily available down here and we call it nchanwu in my dialect. Thanks for the info. I appreciate.
You're very welcome brother, absolutely! I think it's so cool that you know this plant, and to know the name that you use for it! I love it so much! It's truly always my deep honor, pleasure, and privilege to share! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
