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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Today was a mostly sunny and warm, very Hive-focused, mellow Sunday, with a very useful surprise in the late afternoon, but more about that later. I spent from morning clear to 3PM focused almost exclusively on Hive, catching up, doing assorted tasks, engaging on posts, managing my layer-2 tokens, building my Hive Multi-Stream Passive Income Machine, and beginning to put together My Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update. Hive excites me! Can you tell?
I'm excited to go deeper with the various diesel/liquidity pools in which I've been adding tokens all week. I wanted to get into them for months, and I finally did it! I don't think I'll be stopping with them any time soon, quite the opposite! Everything I have on Hive started small and grew far larger, and now I'm beginning the process again with these pools! I love beginning new things like this, and growing them over time, like plants!
I just realized that I've gone a full week with my new post itinerary! I'm doing two posts per day, with particular posts varying with the day, except for this one, which I still do every day of the week! The new schedule feels good to me, and it has a good balance of post types, which I really appreciate!
I would like to get back into some photo contests consistently again, like I did with the Shadow and Reflection Hunters Contests for so long, but I want to make sure that I can easily handle my present post schedule before I add more. I do love photo contests, though!
Ano had a suitable box to use to ship my dead laptop back to the Amazon seller in Tennessee. My intention is to have it totally ready to ship back by Wednesday morning, so Kana can drop it off at the post office for me when he goes to do the weekly town run.
I suppose now would be a good place to mention the rather cool and quite useful surprise that I got I the late afternoon. Braja, Ano's mother, had a backup laptop that she was not using, and after looking it over, I realized it would suite my purposes with Arch Linux quite well. Multiple keys on the keyboard don't work, but thankfully I have an external keyboard, so I can make it work. It's actuality a very good ASUS laptop. I'll use it to keep my three Arch Linux installs up to date until I'm able to get another computer for myself. I wish the onboard keyboard worked in full, but I'm grateful just to have a suitable computer with which I can keep working with Arch!
The ASUS laptop that I'm now using as a backup until I'm able to replace mine that died. I was able get Arch booted in it, which makes me very happy indeed!
OK my dear Hive family, the time has come for me to take my leave for the night, as I hear sleep calling! I appreciate you all very much! 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! 😁🙏💚
