I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #487 - Musings on My Next Steps, and Fun with Numbers - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, November 26, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, 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. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I've been excitedly mentioning over the past two days, I'll be doing my monster powerup to dolphin level on the December 1st #HPUD, from assets that I made on another sovereignty-driven blockchain (Bastyon). In yesterday's post I talked about how I'm considering using my very notable jump in HP after #HPUD in terms of new delegations, which I'm excited to implement. Another very cool thing that came to my mind this morning is how much faster my account will grow after my powerup, since Hive is a machine of compounding interest and exponential growth, so the more we have the faster we grow!

At this moment my Hive Power is sitting just over 3,060, and my liquid HIVE that I'll be powering up on December 1st is presently just over 2,715, both of which will continue growing until I actually do the powerup. If I use today's numbers to do a little extrapolating, I see that I'll be growing my Hive Power by about 88.73%, which is quite huge! After powering up, I should have approximately 5,780 HP, which ain't too shabby! 5,780 HP is about 10% of the present 57,167 HP needed to get to my next goal, orca level, or said another way, 57,167 is about 10 times what I'll have after my powerup on Thursday. Yowsers!

After powering up, I'll have a little under 51.5K to get to orca level. Yep, that's a heck of a lot, and it's going to take some focused work to reach that next-level goal, but I have zero doubt that I will indeed achieve it. I can't even begin to guess when that might be yet, however. With that in mind, I'm very much looking forward to seeing just how much faster my account grows once I get to dolphin level. With a jump of almost 90% from where I am now, I'm guessing it will be pretty noticeable!

Because this leap is so big for me, I think I'll (half-jokingly) start referring to the time before it as BPU (Before Power Up) and the time after it as APU (After Power Up), improvising the BC/AD used when talking about time conventional periods...🤣 It seems rather appropriate! For those of you reading this who are already at dolphin level, or long past it, to what else do I have to look forward? 🤔🐬

Yesterday, Sunday, was an almost entirely Hive-focused day, with a short break to take photos for this post, collect cow food for the next morning, strain out and blend kefir, and make myself some food. The main goals were to get all my Hive tasks done, catch up fully, do a thorough round of token management, and of course compile all the token data for, and begin writing, My 78th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: My Last Update as a Minnow, Dolphin Level Here I Come!, which I finally finished and publish just after 1AM.

I should have gone to sleep as soon as I was done with that post, but I ended up staying awake doing various assorted Hive tasks until just after 2AM, at which point I crashed into bed. I definitely could have slept more, that is for sure! I woke up around 6:30AM, did a quick round of token management, and then I completed @benthomaswwd's @heartbeatonhive contest, before finally making another attempt at sleep. I don't think that I actually slept again, but I did at least rest more, getting out of bed around 9AM to go make my superfood fire coffee before the Monday Leadership Council meeting.

I worked on this post while I was in the meeting, and when it ended around 12PM, I headed back to the Flow House to finish writing it. The time is now just after 1:15PM, so it's a great time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of Hive essential tasks, before leaving the Flow House to go take photos for tomorrow's version of this post, and go put my focus on some land work in the later afternoon. I deeply appreciate you all so very much! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
