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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Hive is an entrepreneurial dream come true. I've said that before, of course, but it bears repeating. One thing I've noticed in my time on Hive is that those with an entrepreneurial mindset or spirit thrive here. Those DIY sorts who like to figure out and do things for themselves can really sink their teeth into Hive. It's a very juicy framework indeed!

Hive provides as much or as little information as people want, from coding level up to full graphical front-ends with simple point-and-click (and maybe some type). For those that want to dig in and get their hands dirty, Hive is the ideal fertile garden, to grow all manner of things, from people to diverse assets.

In addition to the innumerable ways to generate income (quite a bit of it passive income) completely within Hive, there is also the possibility to sell myriad physical items for Hive assets through the HiveList Classifieds and Store. This is a very exciting dimension of the Blockchain, where vendors can actually sell real-world objects for Hive assets. Imagine when those grow to hundreds of thousands of vendors, or more!

Hive provides so many ways to succeed and profit, that thrifty entrepreneurs can easily become overwhelmed with so many choices at their fingertips. It's essential to keep in mind that since everything on Hive is monetized, we are our greatest asset, because it's us that are generating the value. We're all Hivepreneurs!

Today was one of those days that went just a little bit differently from the norm. Ano had milled a whole flatbed truck full of lumber from some large Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus robusta) up in Waimea yesterday, and he needed help unloading it this morning. Even though he tried to call me last night, I didn't hear about it until this morning. He asked me if I could help, of course.

Polish_20220714_121631044.jpg

I got done making my superfood fire coffee, and the I went to help unload the lumber. Ano and I worked for the full three hours that it took to get it all unloaded, while Marco, Austin (@aukuna), and Sperry (@nysqually) helped at diffent points. We worked from 9:30AM to 12:30PM.

When we finally finished, I took a shower, then went to the Flow House to begin on my Hive catch-up (aside from a little bit that I did in the morning before working). I stayed at it until about 4:30PM, when I was finally done. I walked around in the final sun rays of the day, taking photos for this post.

After taking with Ano about finances for a while (I have to generate more consistent money again - my sessions usually get sparce during the summer, as people travel off Island and just generally have less money), I strained out more kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, made food, then returned to the Flow House to do another round of catch-up, before writing this post.

It's now almost 11:30PM, so it's time for me to take my leave and jump in bed! I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! @michaelklinejr, I'm tagging you one more time since I have some day shots of the Flow House. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚

The photos, as always, are amazing, brother! Most of all, I liked the green moss on the rock. If I got it right. It even made me want to touch it.) I think it's supposed to be soft?)

Thank you so very much Alexandr! I appreciate that! That's great! Yep, it's moss, and it's wonderfully soft, especially notable growing on the hard lava rock. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Oh yes, in abundance. This whole part of the Island is so new that lava rocks are everywhere. We can't actually flood here because it's only porous lava under us, so the water goes right through.

Here's a photo I took just now for you, looking out over the lava field, as I sit typing this in bed this morning. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

You need money to live there? Oh, well, I guess for internet, hardware, tools, fuel for the car and maybe some food that can't be grown locally... Still, I imagine it costs a lot less than living in apartment somewhere and only being able to grow a pot of basil on the windowsill!

Yep, as much as I'd like to live outside of the fiat system entirely, I still need to interface with it to some degree. It does cost far less to live here than in most areas on the mainland, or even other places in Hawai'i. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

I predict that sooner or later your internet provider will realise that it's much more efficient to ask you for a few coconuts and a gallon of kefir in payment, than having you sell the coconuts for fiat and give them bits of metal and dirty green paper ;)

Hehe...I like that! Thankfully that's kind of how it is in much of this area. The local economy is pretty good, with lots of individual-to-individual buying, selling, and trading. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

Thanks for the daytime shots of the Flow House. Been playing Valheim (a crafting/building/survival game on Steam) that I immediately went to thinking how I would construct it in the game with the available build pieces. XD I have a blueprint in my brain of a house I want to build some day. I still hope to find way to make it happen. Here's to Hope, Goals and the Will and Stamina to chase them down and tackle them. !CTP

Sure thing, you're most welcome! Haha...I like the idea of building it in the game! That's excellent that you have an image of what you want to create for a house! I believe you definitely can bring it into actuality! Yes, to all of those things, absolutely! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
