I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1166 - We're Building Cross-Chain Goodness for All of Us to Thrive! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, October 6, 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 so many wonderfully interesting potentials and possibilities that I'm noticing bubbling up here on Hive and on Blurt, both for me personally, for both sibling Blockchains themselves, and in our beloved We Are Alive Tribe on both Chains. Yes, there are and have been challenges and disappointments, but the overall vibe and feeling is resoundingly positive for me.

On a personal level, I've noticed a lovely uptick in the incoming flow of various assets, in part due to new HP delegations, but also just out of the blue, without me doing anything differently. Across most Hive investment domains, I'm doing quite well indeed, and better all the time, which is extremely exciting and motivating. As I've mentioned, everything that I've learned about investing and leveraging assets on Hive over the last four years is also going into growing our income and asset streams for the We Are Alive Tribe, and to quite good effect I'd say, with ever more assets becoming available to distribute to the community.

Coordination within our small worldwide team does sometimes take some time, as we're all busy in our own lives, which is why we ask for your patience with developments in the community. We'll always do what we say we're going to do, but it may, and often does, take longer than expected or hoped.

Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) has been diving into building the We Are Alive Tribe on Blurt in stronger ways recently, which is wonderful to see. He's sent 2,500 BLURT to our Blurt community account, which I've already powered up, to be able to give posts published in the community ever-better upvotes. He's also been powering up very nice chunks of BLURT, and in doing so he's already exceeded 50,000 Blurt Power on his own account. He's been running cross-chain community challenges, and now a Blurt-specific #BLURTPUD contest as well, with the intention of rewarding and supporting those who choose to publish posts in our Blurt community. I've got around 20,500 BP, and our Blurt community account now has over 2,560 BP. All three accounts, mine, Ben's, and the We Are Alive Tribe community account, will be giving 100% upvotes on posts published in our Blurt We Are Alive Tribe community.

Today I decided that it would be a useful idea to set our main Hive community account @hive-155221, as a 1% beneficiary for all posts published in the community, with the intention to grow its HP sufficiently to be able to add it to our Alive Tribe curation trail, which would directly benefit those who publish posts in our Hive community. I wanted to keep the beneficiary percentage very small, so that it wouldn't really be be noticed in people's post payouts, and so that the HP on the community account could grow slowly over time. On both blockchains we're working to build community frameworks that are good for all of us, and that support and help us all to grow, success, and thrive. We ask for your patience, and we promise it will be worth your while. The best is yet to come, my friend!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little after 2:15PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I was satisfied with the photos that I'd taken, I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit. Once I had that done, I decided to go sunbathe on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for while, and after getting my fill of glorious sunlight, I went to Soozi's hale (building, structure) with a ladder a staple gun, and a whole lot of staples, to secure screen along the top edges of the ceiling, where it meets the 'walls' (there are no solid walls here), to prevent mosquitoes from entering. I got two long sections done, and I intend to finish the rest today. After finishing for the day at Soozi's, I headed to the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with that in hand, to return to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I paused that for about an hour and a half to go attend the Monday logistics meeting in Ano's new music studio space, after which I made my way back to the Flow House on the other side of the property, to get back to Hive. Since I lost an hour a half, and because I had a fair number of notifications, I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop around 11:30PM, to do some asset management, then to go to bed by just after 12AM. I woke up a bit early, just after 5:30AM, having slept well, 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 1PM, so it's a magnificent 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, straining and blending kefir, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
