I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1221 - 15,000 HP This Week, Focusing on DAB/DBOND/RUG, and My HBD into HIVE Soon - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, November 30, 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 7 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy HPUD! Well, with my December HPUD powerup yesterday, December HPUD - Hive Power Up Day - 61.232 HIVE Powered Up!, I should reach 14,900 HP today, which pretty much assures that I will smash 15,000 Hive Power, and my 2025 goal for HP, before the end of this new week. That's great news indeed, and with the 2 HBD that I just withdrew from the Pepe Game (I've withdrawn 10 HBD so far), I now have only 8.871 HBD to go to reach my 2025 goal of 600 HBD in Savings. I'll also be claiming 7+ HBD in Savings interest in 17 days, which would take me into the range of a bit over 598 HBD in Savings. I've definitely got my fingers crossed on that! Of course, right after achieving my 2025 goal for HBD in Savings, and claiming my last round of Savings interest, I will very likely withdraw all my HBD from Savings, convert to HIVE, and then power it up on the January HPUD. We shall indeed see.

With BXT having sadly fallen from my good graces recently, I've refocused on the DAB/DBOND/RUG trio as one of my new main HIVE income streams, though as I've mentioned, it will take me time to grow my liquid holding of DAB, which is what determines the amount of the daily HIVE payouts, to the level that would be comparable to the daily HIVE payouts for staked BXT. Although I'm not crazy about that, I do very much appreciate that DAB, DBOND, and RUG work in a synergistic manner with each other, so my holding and stake of DAB and DBOND will keep growing and compounding over time, and with it my daily HIVE income.

Keeping a good daily and weekly flow of HIVE and SWAP.HIVE is essential for my investment endeavors, which is why I made the decision to nix BXT and to switch to DAB/DBOND/RUG, as dependability, reliability, and consistency over time are exceedingly important for me. As I've also mentioned, I'm also now focused on acquring as many of these three tokens as I'm able for the We Are Alive Tribe as well, given that I need to increase our daily and weekly HIVE income substantially, and quite quickly it would seem.

Yesterday I mentioned that the Hive Debt, which had been falling for 3 days straight, had begun to rise again, much to my chagrin. Thankfully by last night it began to stabilize and fall by a small bit, presently sitting at 16.88%. It's definitely still not within a good range, but at least it's not rising, for the moment anyway.

On a positive note, our new @aliveandmmb Hive witness got a few more votes, and rose in the witness ranking a bit more, presently sitting at the #115 spot among active witnesses (it was at the #127 spot when I checked this morning). I was happily surprised to see certain well-known Hivers giving us their support. So far we have 196.6K HP worth of votes, which considering that our witness is not even signing blocks yet, is pretty amazing indeed. Top 20, we're coming for you!

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finshing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and my weekly asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, quite late, by a little after 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had a lovely batch of shots taken, I got a few small tasks done, including harvesting a rack of ripe bananas, collecting some food supplies for the Landing from Tutu's, and digging up and replanting a pink-flowered butterfly ginger that needed to be moved. With my few Sunday tasks done, I made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, pepperjack cheese, onions, tomatoes, amaranth leaves, longevity spinach leaves, Brazilian fireweed leaves, olive oil, and sea salt), 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-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done fairly late, by a bit after 10:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by a little after 11PM. I woke up just before 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 183rd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 15,000 HP This Week, BXT Switched to DAB/DBOND/RUG, and My HBD Decision, and then to begin writing this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's a fantabulous time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
