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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Hive was hard forked from the Steem Blockchain, to counter a hostile takeover, on March 20, 2020, so 3 years, 6 months, 6 days, or 1,285 days ago. Look at everything which has been accomplished in that time! Yes there was a base that was taken from Steem, but since Hive was forked from that blockchain, that base has been developed and taken far beyond what Steem was, or is today for that matter!
There is a great deal of passion which drives that development, as could be easily seen during the presentations at #HiveFest2023, which is incredibly inspiring and exciting! There are many projects and developments which are just beginning to break the surface in terms of people's awareness of them, and which in time could very well make all of our Hive experiences even better than they are now!
I still think that those of us that saw Hive's mind-blowing potential early on, and dove in with both feet, to begin building, growing, and saving, are among the very fortunate early adopters of a framework which will help a huge number of people worldwide to gain sovereignty, and which will see mass adoption when that is clearly and fully understood. To say that this is exciting is an huge understatement! Hive is life-and-world-changing technology!
I'd say that the Hive that we all know today, even though it truly is absolutely incredible, is only a shadow of what Hive will become over time. This inspires, excites, and motivates me immensely to continue showing up here every single day to give Hive my all! I know that my investment of time, attention, energy, and effort will pay off, and not just for me, but for everyone on this exquisite Blockchain, because we're all on the same team here (even if it doesn't seem like it at times), we rise by lifting other, and together we thrive!
Yesterday was a slightly atypical Monday, as we didn't have the Leadership Council meeting in the morning, which allowed me to focus on Hive instead. I paused my afternoon Hive catch-up and tasks because Scott, an older fellow who used to live here at GaiaYoga Gardens, stopped by up at the Flow House with a woman, Lucy, that lives on the same property that he does, just down the road. I shared a very surprising, engaging, enjoyable, and wide-ranging conversation on The Great Awakening, sovereignty, and the dying slave system. She is one very, very aware woman. I was talking with her about Hive a little bit too, and she's interested in exploring it further, so I'll likely be her guide here, which may include onboarding her. That would be pretty wonderful! She asked if she could come by again to continue the conversation. That put a big smile on my face!
After Scott and Lucy left, I returned to my focus on Hive, finally getting everything to a good pause-point by around 4PM, which is when I left the Flow House to put my focus on some land work. I spent a little time walking around first, to take more photos for this post, in the gorgeous late-afternoon light.
Once I got my photos taken, I went to look for @aukuna, as we had talked about planting my four cashew trees up on the second driveway next to the Flow House. I couldn't find @aukuna, so I collected my trees from my nursery and brought them up to the second driveway in a wheelbarrow. I staged them there, to hopefully plant in the ground today. After moving my trees near their future planting spot, I went to do some weeding and organizing in my nursery, and to do more weeding in and around my Coleus beds, which are beginning to look very nice indeed!
After doing some plant work, I took a shower, got food supplies from Tutu's, then I made food for myself in the Landing, got food for my kitten friend, then brought both up to the Flow House, though I couldn't stay to eat mine, as we had a community Logistics meeting at 6:30PM. I gave food to my fuzzy friend, put my food under a cover, then I went to the meeting. The meeting lasted until about 8PM, and I returned to the Flow House once again to eat my food, and begin my evening round of Hive catch-up and tasks. I was a bit more behind on my catch-up and tasks than usual, and it took me until just after 12AM to fully finish it all, but thankfully I finally did. I went to sleep soon after, and I slept well, waking up around 7:30AM. I did a good round of Hive catch-up and tasks before getting out of bed, until just before 10AM (super late!), when I got up to make my superfood fire coffee.
It's now just past 1PM, so a nice time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round on Hive, and then to do some land work later, hopefully with my plants. I deeply appreciate you all so 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! 😁🙏💚
