I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1090 - I've Been on Hive for 3 Years and 10 Months Today - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, July 22, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I arrived in the Hive Blockchain Ecosystem 3 years and 10 months ago today, so only two months to go before my 4-year Hiversary. In those 3 years and 10 months, I've sure come a long way, and in many respects, though I am acutely aware of just how far I still have to go to reach my whale-level goals.

I've never been the same since discovering Hive. Something 'clicked' in me once I comprehended its brilliant actuality, and it's gigantic potential, and I've been all-in for the long haul ever since, leveraging and growing my assets and income streams; connecting, sharing, helping, supporting and collaborating with my fellow Hivers; and exploring and learning our incredible Ecosystem well, so that what I do here is as efficient, effective, and useful as possible, with constant adjustments, tweaks, and refinements as I go.

Adapting, improving, and flowing the best that I'm able when faced with challenges and obstacles has also been a notable aspect of my time on Hive, and because of my deep passion and love for, and belief in it, with my rock-solid commitment, dedication, and determination, I've always found a way to continue moving forward, onward, and upward, no matter what. This has, of course, definitely not been easy at times, for multiple reason, but my relentless tenacity has always won in the end.

As I've learned, and become very passionate about investing, and leveraging and growing assets, I've continued to see astonishing growth in the various Hive investment domains where I'm active, which keeps accelerating over time. This quickening in the growth of several assets in different investment domains is getting to a very interesting place indeed, with ever-increasing income and liquidity for deeper investments. Let's just say that I have a whole bunch more leverage than I used to have even fairly recently, and it's becoming stronger all the time.

All this work to grow my account and its assets is not just for me of course, as I've said many times, because I operate by the principle of Maximum Mutual Benefit, and I want all of us, and our entire beloved Blockchain, to succeed and thrive, and I'll do whatever I'm able to make that happen. I intend to bring my own account to whale level, in all important investment sectors, and to help nurture and grow a whole community of new Hive whales. Yep, that's going to take a lot of time and work, but I have long-term vision, and I'll just keep working for it every single day.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a bit on the late side again, around 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a good batch taken, I got my machete and went to clear around the Fuschia Phoenix for Soozi, as the jungle was encroaching a bit. When I had that done, I buzzed my head and face with my electric clippers, as I was getting pretty shaggy, took a shower, then I walked over to my friend Lea's place, to collect a few supplies that she had picked me up from town, and to spend some time with her sharing conversation. I headed back to GaiaYoga just before sunset, and upon arriving, I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover fruit smoothie, and with that in hand I returned to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to 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 11:30PM. I woke up a little after 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 12:30PM, so it's an excellent time wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next incarnation of these posts 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
