I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1025 - BBHO Powerup Day Today, and XV Investment Project Wrap-Up Tomorrow - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, May 18, 2025

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

There are a few very interesting Hive investment affairs on the horizon for me, with multiple coinciding today and tomorrow. The first one on the docket is BBHO Powerup Day (BPUD) today (after 2PM my time), and I'm ready for it with close to 450 liquid BBHO to stake. Liquid BBHO grows quite quickly, so I haven't needed to buy more from the market lately, which is pretty nice.

I was finally able to redelegate my good chunk of BEE to @bee.voter once again this morning, after my inadvertent and unintentional undelegation, due to using BeeSwap, last week. It will still take a week for the much-improved weekly HIVE payouts to begin again, but at least this error has finally been corrected.

Tomorrow has a lot going on, with ALIVE Staking/Powerup Tuesday being the first on my list, and as with BPUD, I'm ready for APUD, this time with close to 400 liquid ALIVE ready to go. I was always in the habit of staking all my liquid ALIVE immediately, but I finally started saving it for our staking Tuesdays about two weeks ago. It's excellent to see the market value of ALIVE doing so well lately, which tells me that the changes that we in the core leadership have made to add greater value to our beloved token have indeed been paying off, and we're just getting started, with more to come!

My second round of 100+ SPS is also scheduled to unstake from Splinterlands tomorrow, which I'll immediately send to Hive Engine to swap part of it to DEC and PKM, to then give a good boost to my liquidity positions in the DEC:SPS and SPS:PKM diesel/liquidity pools, both of which are excellent. I'm curious whether I'll get past the payout threshold for fees with this addition to the DEC:SPS pool, since it has a very high total liquidity, which usually means a higher payout threshold.

The big event for tomorrow is the wrap-up of the XV Investment project by the @spinvest team, and I'm super excited. I have 98.5 XV, and with the crypto market still doing so well, there should be some great returns, of which I intend to use a portion, the original cost from the SWAP.HIVE and PWR removed from the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, to re-establish my original position in that exceptional pool. My present projected returns are over 350 SWAP.HIVE, and with the original cost removed, a profit of over 100 SWAP.HIVE. I'm planning to use the profit to re-establish and perhaps exceed my original positions in the SWAP.HIVE:CENT and the SWAP.HIVE:MEME pools. Solid gains and growth are being had everywhere, and with my returns and profit from the end of the XV project, this is only going to accelerate even faster!

Yesterday, Sunday, after I finished up my Hive tasks, I finally devoted a good bit of time to figuring out and resolving why one of my Arch Linux installations, that I had recently cloned from a hard drive to an NVMe SSD, would not load the graphical user interface, even after several attempts. Very thankfully, I'm happy to say that I did successfully find the issue, and I was able to easily resolve it once I knew what it was (it had to do with inccorrect kernel modules and components in the initramfs, which is necessary for Linux to boot, due to switching to a new laptop with new hardware). That took a fair bit of time, and I ended up leaving the Flow House by close to 4PM, focusing mostly on photography for these posts afterward. It was satisfying to give my attention to only my own affairs yesterday, especially because it was so fruitful. After I got a good batch of photos, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House to jump gently into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Super thankfully I was able to catch up fully on them again by just after 11PM, and for two days in a row. I did some asset management after that, then I went to bed, later than intended, just after 12:30AM. I woke up quite late, around 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, getting out of bed around 8AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 155th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 9,700 HP Surpassed, and XV Wrap-Up Tomorrow!, and then starting immediately on this post. It's now just after 1PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to focus on photography first, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my BBHO Powerup Day post later this evening, and the next expression of this post tomorrow! 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.

All photos were taken with my Motorola G Play 2024 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
