I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #296 - The Human Hive - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, May 19, 2023

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

What inspires you most about Hive? This exceptional Blockchain has so much going for it, both in terms of excellent technology and wonderful people, and there's a lot about which to get excited! I've talked a lot about the technology, so today the focus is on the all-important human component!

The beautiful and sweet connections and relationships that are made, grown, and nurtured on Hive are numerous and heart-nourishing. I have connections here that I never expected, and which add a whole other level of joy of being on the Blockchain.

These ongoing Hive connections and relationships, with a multitude of people scattered across the face of the Earth, give us the feeling that we're one global family on Hive. All of us here know incredibly amazing people from numerous countries worldwide, people that we may never meet face-to-face, but where there are deep bonds of love, care, appreciation and trust. This is the nature of our glorious blockchain; one built on a foundation of human connection.

The fact that by its very design people need to help each other to succeed here, means that our whole Hive Blockchain Ecosystem is run on multitudes of mutually beneficial relationships. That's pretty amazing!

These friendships that we found on Hive can last for a lifetime, and can flow out of the digital and into the physical, with deepening partnerships, collaboration, and business endeavors. This strengthens our whole ecosystem.

There are communities here where there is a strong focus on encouraging people's growth and engagement with each other, which helps them and the whole Hive Ecosystem. The Alive Tribe is a superlative example of this. We're all growing together, and helping each other do so!

Hive is all about the people that make it up, you and me, and the bonds, connections, and relationships which breathe life into every nook and cranny of this amazing Blockchain, and impels it onward and upward to a brilliant future. I'm all in, how about you?

The weather alternated quite a bit today between sun, clouds, and rain. Hive catch-up and tasks kept me going from early morning until about 3:30PM, and while I didn't completely finish everything before I left the Flow House to go work on the land, I didn't have too much left to go.

I focused on clearing more cane grass and weeding in the areas on either side of the throughway between Tutu's and Kana's place, where I've been planting the many Coleus that I had in my nursery. I got a new section cleared and planted, which gave me a very nice feeling of accomplishment, satisfaction, and progress.

When I finished that project for the day, I took a shower, poured out more kefir for my kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao blend, and made food for myself. With that done, I returned to the Flow House to finish my Hive catch-up, and to write and publish my Off-Grid Jungle Plant Spotlight: Tetradenia riparia (Iboza, Ginger Bush) post, and then to begin writing this one.

It's now past 1AM,so it's time for me to take my leave and get myself to bed. I deeply appreciate you all! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
