I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #474 - Surpassing 3,000 HP Today, and a Look Back - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, November 13, 2023

I live barefooted and naked, very close to Earth and Nature, in an 18-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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In just a few hours time, when last Tuesday's iteration of this post pays out, I will surpass 3,000 Hive Power, which is an exciting milestone on my journey to dolphin level, and farther down the line, to my Ultimate Hive Goal of becoming a Hive millionaire whale 🐳 fairy 🧚‍♂️. I decided to take a look back this morning, to see just how quickly my account has been growing since I arrived on the Blockchain, to the see if I would be able to predict my growth going forward.

It took me about 1 year and 1 month to reach 1,000 from my starting point in September of 2021, and 6.5 months to go from 1,000 HP to 2,000 HP, and then 6 months to go from 2,000 HP to 3,000 HP. With this information, and given that our growth speeds up the more HP that we have, I could extrapolate that, without any outside boost such as successfully selling my large chunks of DOGE and SWAP.DOGE to buy HIVE to power up, that I would reach 4,000 HP by the beginning of May 2024.

As you might have noticed, my growth dramatically accelerated once I reached 1,000 HP. This was a time when I was publishing my many plant and garden posts, that to this day have been my highest earners. It's kind of funny and a little ironic that I love plants so much, and that I'm so passionate about them, and yet now I rarely write plant or garden posts. This might be one of those things that I need to change. Two times I earned over 100 HP for individual garden posts, which blew my mind at the time. Then the breakup with Kai happened, which hit me really hard, which then caused my rate of growth here on Hive to plumit. I've been slowly and consistently rebuilding it ever since. Beginning to write garden posts again is probably a really good idea I think.

I'm still closely watching BTC, which has been rising strongly in fiat value, going down for a little, then going up again even stronger, in multiple rounds so far. DOGE and SWAP.DOGE have been following a similar pattern, and I'm doing my best to have patience and not sell too soon. I'm getting a bit antsy, however, and I really want to get my assets of of BitForex, as soon as possible, as I don't trust any centralized exchanges at all. I'm thinking that I'm just going to sell my DOGE that I have there during the next good rise in price, buy LTC when the price goes down again, then send it to my wallet here using a SWAP.LTC address. Then it'd just be waiting until both SWAP.DOGE and SWAP.LTC rise sufficiently in HIVE value to sell them both, to then buy a big chunk of HIVE to do a giant power up. I'm determined to get this done before the end of the year. I'll see how it goes, but starting 2024 at dolphin level would be a glorious way to begin the new year! May it be so!

I felt really behind pretty much all day yesterday, Monday, both on Hive, and in my life here in the jungle. I seriously need more of me, more time, or both! Because it was Monday, there were two community meetings that I had to attend, the Leadership Council meeting at 10:30AM, and the Logistics meeting at 6:30PM, so my time felt extra compressed. I wrote most of the last incarnation of this post while I was in the Leadership Council meeting, finishing it up very soon after it ended, then focusing on getting important Hive tasks done, and of course lots more catching up on my notifications. Because I stayed focused on catching up in the afternoon, and after the Logistics meeting ended, I was actually able to get completely caught up on my notifications by around 11:30PM, which felt like a huge accomplishment considering how many there were, and for how long I've been very behind.

I went to sleep just after 12AM, and I slept well, waking up around 6:30AM. I did a round of token management, then I got out of bed to do the morning task of collecting cow food, since I didn't so it yesterday evening. Once I had that done, I took a shower, got my leftover superfood coffee from the fridge, got my kitten friend some food, then I headed back to the Flow House to begin writing this post. I took a quick break to take a few photos for tomorrow's post.

It's now approaching 12:15PM, so it's a good time to end this post, so that I can get to my afternoon round of Hive essential tasks and more catch-up, before going to do land work later in the afternoon. I deeply appreciate you all very much! Until tomorrow! Onward and upward, joyfully together! 😁 🙏 💚 ✨ 🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
