The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.
Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚
I've come to realize that I'm equally excited and passionate about my ever-expanding and growing digital Hive life, and my barefooted and naked embodied jungle life at GaiaYoga Gardens, where I returned to live eighteen days ago. I love what I do on Hive, and I love what I do at GaiaYoga! I'm all in with both! That's pretty bloody cool if you ask me!
Given that both are so important to me, I find myself weaving one with the other at every opportunity, integrating them both more fully and deeply in my life. I truly love both the surprising similarities and the striking contrasts between these two worlds!
The morning started out beautifully, with glorious sun and clouds. It was so beautiful that I found myself taking quite a lot of photos all over the place. Darker rain clouds moved in quickly, however, and pretty soon it was downpouring for a fair bit. The sun shown forth a short time after, brightening and warming everything up once again.
My gecko friends were numerous today as I enjoyed my superfood fire coffee and created and published my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: True Success Is a Free Mind. As I watched them in their morning antics, I noticed the very cool shadows that they cast in the bright sun. Since it was Friday, there was another round of Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow, so I got the idea to use these cute little buggers in My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 243 - Gecko Shadows.
When my posts and my superfood coffee were finished, I wandered down from my lovely lava perch to go see about getting some work done. Before Ano and Fiona left to go cocoing for the day, Ano asked me if I would be willing to do two things. First, to set up the power washer at the Bali Hut/Chateau Bali so that Brittany could clean the screens, in lieu of Bryan's arrival (Bryan lives at GaiaYoga part of the year, and the rest of the year he runs his family's farm in North Dakota). The second thing was to collect some extra food for Daisy the cow, who had pretty much stripped the new area where she was moved.
I focused on finding and connecting three hoses together so that they reached from the spicket at the Landing, across the peanut lawn, to the Bali Hut on the other side, hiding among trees and bamboo. It took me a little while to find the hoses, but I did finally locate them, and got them all connected. Once the hoses were in place, I connected the power washer, plugged it in, and tested it.
Once I saw that the power washer was good to go, I told Brittany, and then redirected my attention to sharpening my machete, finding a wheelbarrow, and then going to collect various plants that Daisy liked. I collected a good wheelbarrow full of Cecropia leaves and some cane grass, then took it down to Daisy to deliver it. She was very happy to get the supplemental food.
Once collecting cow food was done, I went up to the Flow House again to relax for a little while and catch up on Hive. When I came down again, Brittany asked me if I could go check to see if she had done the power washing well. She did a fine job, so I disconnected the power washer and the hoses, and put everything back where I found it.
After making myself some quick food in the Landing, I took it up to the Flow House to eat it, do Hive stuff, and relax for a bit before I went find something else to do. I wanted to do some work in my nursery up-potting and repotting plants in need. I also wanted to pot up some Vana tulsi/clove basil/tree basil - Oncimum gratissimum cuttings that broke off while I was clearing around, and pulling vines off, one of the three big plants that I have planted on the property.
After the Vana tulsi cuttings were potted, situated, and watered, I did a little up-potting and organizing in my nursery. It feels really good to get my plants organized and up-potted, even if little by little.
Satisfied, I went to clean up, and then I headed back up to the Flow House once again to catch up on Hive, and then begin this post.
I had a good range of activities today, and I felt accomplished at what I got done, even with it being a nice mellow day for me. I love mellow, productive days like this.
OK my lovelies, I'm pretty hungry again, so I'm going to say good night to y'all for now, and go make myself some food in the Landing. I appreciate you all so much! Thank you, and until tomorrow! 🙏 💚 ⚡ 💥 🔥 👣

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! 😁🙏💚
