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 another very rainy and cloudy day (we're on three days of that now) where there was no sun at all. This is great for the plants, but not so much for motivation to work on the land, or for our solar system (we've already had to run the gas generator three times today - it's running now). On days like this all I feel like doing is snuggling up on my cozy chair, with my fuzzy warm blanket, and doing Hive and Arch Linux stuff. That's exactly what I did for most of the day.
One other thing that I did today which was super fun and engaging was to participate in a naked and nudist/naturist-focused podcast and interview with Amelia for a few hours. Amelia used to live here at GaiaYoga Gardens, and loved to live naked almost as much as me when she was here. I gave her two recent sessions, as well, so we're very comfortable with each other. She sent me a text on Friday asking me if I'd be open to her coming over today (Sunday) to interview me about my perspective on nakedness and living naked, and for me to film her as we did a walking tour (naked of course) around GaiaYoga. She's being sponsored by the very cool folks at Nudism.TV, along with several other people I know in Lower Puna, to film wholesome nudist/naturist-focused interviews and podcasts with themselves and their friends (they even provide a GoPro for the filming). I'm very passionate about nakedness and living naked, so I happily agreed.
She arrived just about 11:30AM, and we talked about what she was hoping to do for a bit. She wanted to interview me first up at the Flow House, so I moved a few things around to prepare the space for our interview. Given that it was a cloudy, rainy, cooler day, it wasn't the best day for a naked interview and walk, but thankfully it did stop raining for a while, and it was still quite comfortable.
The conversation that we shared during the interview was really fun, interesting, and engaging, so the approximately two-hour interview flew by fast. We covered a very wide range of topics, and tied a lot together, which I loved! I even talked about and promoted Hive!
When the rain abated, we decided to do our walking tour of GaiaYoga's property, which took us about an hour and a half. I filmed her as we walked around, talking about what we encountered on our walk, whether it was a structure, trail, or plant. We ended the tour when the GoPro's SD card became full.
The interview and the walking tour was super fun for both of us, and we talked about her returning another day to do more filming, perhaps even with other nakedness-loving friends. Not only did we get to talk about the power and beauty of nakedness, and promote acceptance of the wholeness of our humanity, but GaiaYoga also got some promotion today (along with Hive during our interview), so I felt deeply fulfilled and satisfied with what we had done.
When Amelia finally left, I caught up on Hive again, then made myself some food in the Landing, blended more kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao, poured myself another quart jar of my glorious medicinal tea, and finally returned to the Flow House to do a few Hive tasks, one of which was to write and publish my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: Indomitable Optimism post, and then to finally begin writing this one.
I gotta say it again. I LOVE MY LIFE! It just keeps aligning more with what is most important to me and what I love the most. That's brilliant!
I was inspired in the evening to do more cleaning and organizing of the Flow House, which felt so good to me! I took some photos, though it would have been better if I took them during the day. All good! These are just the beginning! I'll take plenty more as I make the space more beautiful and functional! It's fun!
OK my dear Hive family, on that sweet note, I'm going to end this post for now. I'm so grateful for all of you that share this glorious Hive Blockchain Ecosystem with me! 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! 😁🙏💚
