I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #284 - The Business of Hive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, May 7, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've been on Hive now for 1 year, 7 months, and 2 weeks, and my excitement and passion have not waned one iota, but instead have grown day by day, by leaps and bounds! Hive is such an incredible and mind-blowing opportunity that I want to take advantage of it to the best of my ability, and help anyone else who is willing to put in the time, attention, energy and effort to do the same.

Today as I was doing my CTPX thing, I ran across an amazing and exciting post by John Novak (@beststart) on how more than 60 businesses in the town of Sucre, Venezuela, are now using Hive assets for real-world payments every day. This is the power and potential of Hive, being realized in real time! I've been hearing about this town and the businesses there for a while now, but this is the first time I've seen the specifics. Amazingballs to the max!

Can you imagine being able to pay for most or all of your expenses with your Hive assets? I can! This is why I build grow here every day, because I see what can be, and not just to for me!

Hive is a business that I want to run with excellence, with solid, mutually beneficicial relationships being its foundation. It's going very well indeed, but it can be, and I can do, even better! Better for everyone who interacts and connects with me, and for me too!

I spent pretty much my entire Sunday focused on my Hive business, taking a break to shift my focus, walk around the property, take photos in the late-afternoon light, and to make some food. When I came back to the Flow House for another round, I focused on lots of token management, to get ready to write and publish My 49th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: Both Goals Exceeded, and Reaching 1,900 HP and 67 Reputation!, which took me a few hours, as it tends to do. I realized that I can speed the process up a bit by doing some things on my phone, and others on my laptop. I got it done and published just a short time ago, right before beginning on this post.

It's now almost 1AM, so I think that this is good spot to wrap up this post for the night! I wish you all a glorious new week in your lives and on this exceptional Blockchain! I deeply appreciate you all! Until tomorrow! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚
