I live naked and barefooted, 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, and I have for more than 6 years now. Although there are many challenges, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
My HPUD powerup a week ago, on July 1st, gave my Hive Power a suffient enough boost to cross the threshold of 10,200 Hive Power at some point this week, and at the present rate of growth, I should pass 10,300 HP about two weeks after that. My Hive Power is increasing at a pretty steady rate, about 100 HP every two weeks in normal weeks, and one week to the next on HPUD weeks, which is quite good, though still not quickly enough to achieve my year-end goal of 15,000 HP without a strong manual boost.
Between the monthly claimed interest, and what I continue to deposit during the month, my HBD in Savings is also growing quite steadily, sitting over 509 HBD presently, with another 6+ HBD in interest to claim in two weeks. At the present rate of growth, I should easily reach my year-end goal of 600 HBD in Savings, which is excellent, since I don't have to worry about needing to manually boost it to reach my goal.
I've mentioned that I've been working to balance out my asset spread across the various Hive investment domains, and I'm slowly achieving that goal. Presently my layer-1 assets (HIVE, HP, and HBD in Savings) represents about 69.814% of my total Hive assets. My layer-2 token holding, including income tokens, represents around 20.580% of my total assets, while my assets in diesel/liquidity pools represents about 9.518%. That's not bad at all, and I plan to continue balancing and evening them out over time.
I have also respectable holdings of off-chain assets on Qortal, Bastyon, and Blurt (liquid BLURT), as well as BTC and LTC on various faucet websites, all of which I'll send and invest in Hive when the timing is right. Most of those assets would be used to boost my Hive Power to reach my year-end goal. I send liquid BLURT over to Hive Engine periodically, to add into the SWAP.BLURT diesel/liquidity pools, which I intend to continue doing for the foreseeable future, since the SWAP.BLURT pools have fantastic returns in terms of pool fees.
AI-bot trading, which I'm doing on @tydyn.rain and @mmb-donations, is not panning out as well as I had hoped, but we'll see how it turns out near the end of the year. HP leasing on the other hand, which pays out daily in SWAP.HIVE, is going quite well indeed, and is allowing me to add ever-greater liquidity to a whole host of pools, and to add assets to various new pools as well, so I definitely plan to continue with that investment domain moving forward. While I am beginning to look into and explore off-chain investment opportunities, Hive is still my absolute favorite and preferred investment framework by far. Growing my Hive account to whale level in all significant investment domains is my big goal, and I'm working toward it every single day.
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a bit on the late side, a little after 3PM, jumping into some photography for my posts first, and then some sunbathing on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn. That's pretty much all I did yesterday, which made it a very mellow day, which I appreciated. I headed back to the Flow House just before 5PM, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and go catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by a little after 10:30PM, and after some asset management, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed a bit after 12AM. I woke up just after 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 162nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 10,200 HP This Week, and Steady Growth Is The Name of the Game!, and then to begin writing this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so a great time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon (I sure hope that it stops raining), to focus first on photography for my posts, straining out the second batch of kefir fermented in blended coconut meat, coconut water, and honey, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression of these posts! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
2025 Life Goals
1.) Do regular integral practices again, alone or with others.
2.) Prepare regular batches of my medicinal teas collected from the land again.
3.) Make my plant nursery, and the gardens, beautiful again.
4.) Begin learning relevant coding/programming languages to more fully contribute to the sovereignty-driven technologies where I am active, like Arch Linux, Hive, Qortal, DeSo, and Bastyon.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
