I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1162 - I've got an Invincible Determination to Be a Force for Good, and for Us All to Thrive - Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, October 2, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

My unbreakable commitment, consistency, dedication, determination, perseverance, persistence, and relentless tenacity to Hive, Blurt, and the We Are Alive Tribe, is as much for the success and thriving of everyone around me as it is for me, myself. Everything that I do is done with the over-arching desire and intention for it to benefit all of us, including those who don't yet know that I'm building and growing for them as well as for myself.

It's Maximum Mutual Benefit all the way for me, and I do my best to create systems that truly do benefit us all, both on my own account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe. This takes time and patient care, to be able to put all the components into place, and to synergize them together into an even more useful and mutually-beneficial whole. I see and understand the potentials of what's possible, and I just keep moving forward, putting the pieces together, bit by bit, every day.

Some days are deeply inspiring and motivating, with others being quite the opposite, but I keep going no matter what. Regardless of anything, I'm absolutely determined to become a whale on Hive, and now Blurt as well, in all asset and investment domains (I know that Blurt doesn't have a layer 2 yet, but that is now in the works), with my ultimate goal being to become a potent force for good on these two sibling blockchains, and wherever else that I operate. I'm growing assets all over the place, both on and off Hive and Blurt, and my traction and leverage continues to increase everywhere.

Along with external off-chain crypto assets, I'll also continue to periodically invest fiat dollars into the Hive Ecosystem, both because it's still the best framework that I've found to leverage and grow assets, and because I want Hive, and everyone who loves it, to succeed brilliantly well. My Blurt Power on Blurt is growing quickly enough that it doesn't really need an external investment yet, but when Blurt's layer 2 is brought online, you can bet that I'll be investing and leveraging assets there too.

Patiently, steadily, and consistently leveraging and growing assets over time, punctuated by periodic huge leaps, is how I've brought my account, and the We Are Alive Tribe, to where they are today, and I can promise you one thing: I'm just getting started! For one and all, my friends!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just after 2:15PM, putting my attention first on some photography for my posts, and straining and blending kefir, before doing a round of banana harvesting with Avi (we found two big racks). When we had that done, I helped Avi to plant sections of Ti-plant stems on one side of the Bali Hut, to get the beginning of a privacy screen growing. Upon finishing that, I took a shower, made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, romiano pepperjack cheese, and horseradish mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Ceej and I had plans to hang out for a while in the early evening, and she came up to the Flow House just as I was finishing up my @aliveandthriving comment moderation, so I paused Hive and spent a few hours with her, first up on the little platform on the lava, talking and looking up at the stars (and more UFOs than I've ever seen in one night...lol!), then when it started to rain, back at the Flow House for a bit longer. It was fun and enjoyable for the both of us, and we said our good-nights just after 8:30PM, which is when I got back to Hive. Even starting very late, I was still able to get everything done on Hive by a little after 11PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed around 11:45PM. I woke up about 6AM again (my present norm), having slept well, feeling annoyed that the we lost power in the solar electrical batteries once again, babysitting the solar electrical system until the batteries reached a high-enough charge to turn the electrical system on again, returning to the Flow House to get my Qortal node back online, 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 1:30PM, so it's quite a fantabulous time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, collecting coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts to begin another round of kefir fermentation, then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
