The beginning of these posts was my My Life Just Hit a Brick Wall at High Velocity, on the Cusp of My 50th Birthday: Mid Life Crisis 101 post. I link that post because I want to give my readers some useful context for what I write in these posts.
Warm greetings all! 🙏 💚
Holy jumping fuckmuffins what a day! It began at my friend Lydia's place in Nanawale, where I had stayed for two days, after leaving the property where I was staying for more than a month. This morning I made my superfood fire coffee, and then sat down to write my Index4Index Daily Inspired Motivation: The Power of Small Steps Every Day. I've come to very much appreciate consistent small steps over time, so today I felt inspired to find some good aligned quotes, and write about it!
After finishing my morning Hive post, a grabbed my trusty Fijian machete and did some clearing work on Lydia's Land for a bit before Sundog arrived to help me move. I've become very fast and efficient clearing land with my machete. Seriously, I'm really good with a machete!
I was sitting talking with Lydia when Sundog (and Scott) arrived. She gave them a short tour of her small property before we started the moving process. All of us have lived at GaiaYoga, some short and some longer, but we all have experience there. Sundog and Scott have been staying at La'akea (where I tried to move twice) for a construction project that Sundog was doing. Neither had been back to GYG in almost a month. Scott will probably remain at La'akea, and Sundog is still deciding.
The first load was made up of my belongings that I had there at Lydia's, and one batch of my plants from the other property where I was staying. The other two loads were entirely of my multitudinous plants, and some planting pots. We started moving stuff around 1PM, and didn't finish unloading the last load of plants until 7:30PM, so it was a really long day of lots of work.
By the time we had finished, Sundog and I were both really tired and hungry (I hadn't eaten anything all day, aside from my superfood fire coffee in the morning). I made my way to the Landing (where I spend a good bit of my time before I moved out of GYG), because that's where my food ended up. I didn't actually need to make food, as one of the new women there offered me some that she had made; some yummy potatoes with a sauce she concocted.
Once I finished eating and brushing my teeth, I came up to a Sundog's Flow House, the bamboo yurt that he constructed up on the lava that covered a portion of an acre in the 2018 eruption. Since he's staying at La'akea, he offered me his Flow House. I got up here at 8PM, and spent the fist hour catching up on Hive, then I started this post.
I had stayed in Sundog's amazing structure up on the lava twice before when Sundog was traveling on the mainland. It is my absolute favorite structure in which to live and give sessions. I've given many sessions up here, and I already have two more women who want to receive sessions this week. I really look forward to doing them up here.
I hadn't been to GaiaYoga before today for five months and ten days. While there was a tinge of strangeness returning, for the most part I felt a great deal of relief and happiness to return to this jungle community. There is so much work for me to do to clear with my machete, weed, and organize my old nursery (seriously, many days of work).
Since Ano had a large new, and mostly unused section of his nursery at the other end of the 18-acre property, he suggested that I could put my plants there, which we ended up doing. I think my old nursery, which is more protected, will be for new cuttings, seedlings, and plants that are generally more tender, and the area in Ano's nursery for plants that are more hardened off.
After much focus and effort my plants and I are back at GaiaYoga Gardens, the 18-acre, off-grid, clothing-optional, food-forest intentional community, way out in the jungles of Lower Puna, in far East Big Island, Hawai'i. I had lived here three and a half years before moving out for five months and ten days to create a life with Kaï. That important relationship ended, and after floundering 'out in the world' of Lower Puna, I've returned to live barefooted and naked in the jungle once again. I truly am grateful to be back.
Anyway dear Hive friends, I worked my cute little tush off all day, and I'm bloody exhausted, so I'm going to end this post now and, you guessed it, go to sleep! I'll have so many interesting things about which to post here, which I'm excited to do, to share the various aspects of my life here with you. Good night for now y'all! I wish you all a truly sweet night! 🙏 💚 ⚡ 💥 🔥 👣 🌱

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! 😁🙏💚
