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! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβš‘πŸ’₯πŸ”₯βœ΄οΈβœ³οΈβ‡οΈπŸ‘£πŸŒ±βœ¨πŸ€™

Warm greetings all! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™

I mentioned that I was considering changing the format of these posts a bit. Not too much, as there is much that I love about them, however, I wanted to bring them more into this NowHere, without so much focus on the past regarding my breakup with KaΓ―, which was the original impetus to begin writing these posts in the first place. Now that I and my life have shifted so greatly, I figure that it's only fitting to update what these posts are.

Since moving back to GaiaYoga Gardens on October 11th, and getting back into my naked off-grid jungle life, I've been writing about my life here as a matter of course. It seems rather appropriate to change the name of them slightly to my Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry posts, to better reflect my present reality. I've also changed the little info paragraph at the top, and a few tags. Other than perhaps posting more photos from my day (other than my usual sun, clouds, sunrises, and sunsets), everything else will remain the same for now. I hope y'all like the changes!

The first (Sun)day of the year was another exquisite warm, sunny, and beautiful one. I spent the whole early part of the day up at the Flow House doing my usual assortment of Hive tasks, as I enjoyed my super-satisfying superfood fire coffee, and basked in the incredible beauty all around me. I've been bouncing back and forth between the first and second position on the @ecency leaderboard again since yesterday. I'm still finding ways to progressively ramp up my engagement, and it's showing.

My Hive tasks are an easeful joy now, and I'm having a lot of fun doing them! Writing my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: Cultivate Excitement! post was no exception, and it flowed quickly and easily to boot!

Melekai asked me in the morning if I could give her another session, so we sheduled one for her on Tuesday. Her upper back and shoulders were pretty painfully tight, so she also asked if I could work on her a little today. I agreed, and said I'd be available by 2PM. I figured that would give me sufficient time to finish my Hive tasks. I actually finished everything right on time, and I ended up giving Melekai a two-and-a-half-hour 'mini' session doing focused work. It was a good session with a lot moving. Melekai was super grateful.

After finishing with Melekai, I did a quick Hive catch up, then I went to my nursery to pot up a few cuttings and plant some chocolate habaΓ±ero seeds. After that I weeded in the fenced garden next to Kana's house until early evening. It's looking so much better, but I still have so much to do!

After weeding the garden, I made food in the Landing, then I headed back to the Flow House to eat as I caught myself up on Hive, and eventually began writing this post. While I had intended and expected to work for more time in the garden today, I was very grateful to be able to give Melekai some work, so it's all good.

Since Sundog is not returning to live at GaiaYoga again, and for all intent and purposes the Flow House is now mine, I've decided to start making it feel more mine by changing it around a bit, decorating, and perhaps even setting up a little tech infrastructure in preparation for my computer's arrival. That sounds good to me.

On that note I'll end this post for now so that I can get my last few Hive tasks done before bed. Happy New Year again dear Hive friends. May it be magical to the max! Until tomorrow! πŸ˜πŸ™πŸ’šβœ¨πŸ€™
