I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #278 - A Reasonably Mellow Jungle Monday - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, May 1, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
It's just before 12AM as I begin this post. Not the most ideal time to begin one, but that's what's in front of me, so I'll roll with it. It's funny, Monday is Monday off-grid in the jungle, too. Even though I don't work a 9-5 job, Mondays just have more going on here. The Leadership Council Meeting started an hour earlier, to better coordinate with two people leaving today that had to go to the airport. When it was done, I continued with my Hive catch-up into the afternoon, though I put that on hold for a while because images were broken again in Ecency, which just makes things a lot more challenging.
Because of Ecency's image issue, I went to work on the land instead. I decided to finish catching up after the Logistics Meeting. I ended up working with Ano, doing various tasks; assisting him in a small construction project, cleaning the water-collection gutters over Stefano's lab, and moving the sheep.
It's amazing to me that, even living in the jungle, my days are so Hive-centric. It's as much a part of my everyday life as anything I do here at GaiaYoga. I was thinking today how several months ago I only dreamed of being in the top ten in the Hive Engagement League, and now I've been in the top ten, and usually the top five, for about three months straight now. That is a very notable shift indeed!
I had intended to write another post today, aside from this one, but things just didn't flow in that direction this evening. Oh well. I'm not going to get upset because I only write one post in a day. I want quality over quantity anyway, writing from a place of inspiration.
I made some food - spiced beef patties with sautéed onions, tomato, longevity spinach, and ketuk, just before the Logistics Meeting, and I nibbled on it during it. The meeting ended around 8PM, and I of course returned to the Flow House to finish my Hive catch-up, and finally begin writing this post. I also did a good bit of token management. I keep getting so many tokens I know nothing about from the liquidity-pool rewards. Any that I can use, I do, but I have no idea what to do with several of them. They seem to have no real use. I try to efficiently leverage everything I have available for greater growth and income, so it annoys me a little when I can't because a token seemingly has no use. I receive lots of very useful tokens too, mind you, but that only shows me the huge contrast between them and the not-so-useful tokens.
As I approach 2,000 HP going into the fifth month of this year, I realize how far I still have to go to reach my goal of attaining dolphin level before the end of this year. It seems daunting, but I still believe that I can do it, and I'm very determined. I have a few ideas of how it would be possible. I'm just waiting for the proper timing. Timing is everything.
It's now almost 1AM, so I believe that this is a good time to end this post for the night. Sleep is calling! I am so grateful to have found Hive, and I so deeply appreciate all of you. 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! 😁🙏💚

Create your own token and add usefulness to it, for example...invite tourists to live in the jungle for these tokens...a day or two :)
Hehe...I've actually been thinking about creating a token at some point. I need a lot more BEE to do it, though. Your idea fascinates me. Being able to integrate Hive even more into my life here in the jungle would be marvelous indeed! Thank you for your idea! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
This is not a new idea, the JAHM coin worked according to this principle, for 100,000 coins you could spend a vacation in Jamaica.
Thank you for that! I didn't know! I love it! That token has just started coming into my awareness. Super cool! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
But, you have to take into account the moments that greatly harmed the JAHM coin, one of them is the pandemic, to which you can add the fall of the crypto market and then there was the STEEM - HIVE fork, which was also a strong blow to the kidneys. Life is cyclical, for this reason such risks cannot be ruled out. If there are any questions, please contact.
Thank you for that. I was not aware yet of the back story for that token. It was only recently that someone mentioned it to me, and then I started receiving small bit of it from liquidity-pool rewards. I appreciate your explanation. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
And here, you surprised me, apparently, I missed something, lol, did you say liquidity-pool jahm?
Where is it located? I would use it, I have too many coins lying around :)
Yes, JAHM is one of the many tokens that I receive daily for adding liquidity to certain pools. I have to go check which ones are the ones that give it as a payout, but you can see them on BeeSwap. You can work with the diesel/liquidity pools via either BeeSwap or Tribaldex, though BeeSwap general has much more useful information. If you have any questions, let me know! I've been digging various pools! I recently wrote a tutorial too, to show people how and where to work with pools. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I'm going to check out BeeSwap now, so I wasn't careful enough and didn't see Jahm, although I tried to do a very thorough check :) Thank you!
It would appear in the list of tokens under rewards. I can look tomorrow to let you know where it appears. Absolutely, you're most welcome! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Thanks, I'm in no hurry :)
Sure thing, absolutely! I'm happy to help! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Thank you, have a great day in the jungle!
You're so welcome, and thank you very much! I left a reply on the other comment thread! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
Apparently, I'm not allowed to see this, lol, I did not find the jahm coin either in the pool or in the list of tokens to exchange for beeswap :)

It's not in a token pair, and because of that it probably won't appear in a swap pair. If you look under Pools, and then click Show Only with Rewards, it will appear in a few of the pools under Rewards, which are sent out daily. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I'll try to figure it out, while my mood was gone, I found out that they buried the steem-engine along with millions of my coins :)

So I just checked, and it actually only appears as a reward in one pool, WINE:WINEX. I thought that I had seen it in more pools, but I was mistaken.
Ugh, that doesn't sound good! There's got to be a way to access them. You probably still have an account on Steem, so logging in there again would hopefully give you access. I hope that you are able to find and recover them! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
You live a very interesting life!
Haha...yes, that I certainly do! I live as I want and on my own terms! Thank you! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
That is certainly one of the best goals a person could have when it comes to life.
Exactly, yes! I just couldn't live any other way anymore! I removed what did not have meaning and which was not life-affirming from my life. 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
I checked your site. Looks like you guys live well.
My wife and I went down to our South Coast region and thought to ourselves what it would be like to rather live in a small town with a larger property and grow most of our own food etc.
To live differently.
Thank you for taking a peek! The site needs updating again, but yes, it's true! That sounds wonderful to me! What are your thoughts now on the idea? 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
There is a LOT going on in my head about the idea and concept.
Freedom of humanity.
The fact that we need to nearly regress some of our technology and habits before being able to advance properly because if we advance the way we are now, therein lies ruin and economical slavery.
We have the technology to work less and less but instead work more and more.
That pretty much covers a good amount of it.
Freedom of humanity, yes. I have so much to say on this subject. I talk a great deal on what I call our Whole Natural Sovereign Divine Humanity. From my perspective most of what we call 'society' and 'civilization' is a brilliantly-crafted anti-human slave system. Once I saw it, I couldn't unsee it, so I couldn't give my life energy to support it any longer. So many people worldwide are waking up to the nature of the system now, but even with that it blows my brain the numbers that are still going along with it as if everything were normal.
I'm a tech geek too, and I can say that not all technology is the same. Most technology that people know and use daily is designed to enslave them without their knowing. I work with liberating and empowering technologies, like Linux and Free and Open-Source Software, which gives freedom and power back to the people, like Hive does.
Thank you so much for expressing your thoughts and feelings on this matter! I really appreciate it! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
My pleasure. I will probably blog about it now that I am thinking about it. It takes many minds to push these ideas along in society.
Though we might not have exactly the same views, I find so much truth in your words and way of life that I highly respect it! I yearn for something similar.
That's a marvelous idea! Yes! Indeed it does!
Different perspectives are part of being human, and it's a good thing. As long as we're able to talk with respect and kindness, it's all good, and the differing viewpoints can help us see our on blind spots! Win-win! I'm truly grateful that you find resonance in my words, and that it sparks in you the desire create something similar for yourself! That's beautiful to me! Thank you again for sharing such wondeful conversation, and I'd love to read your post when you get it published! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙
