I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1257 - The Saturday Savers Club May Live Again! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, January 5, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In a few of my recent posts I mentioned that the Saturday Savers Club, in which I'd participated for over 3.5 of its 5 years of running, had finally come to an end, and how much that threw me for a loop, as it was such an integral part of my weekly process, and of my goal setting and tracking. I know that I'm not the only one who will miss it, and Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) already mentioned the idea to me that perhaps we could continue it ourselves, as part of the We Are Alive Tribe.

It seems that Ben and I aren't the only ones with this in mind, however, as @slothbuzz just published a post, in which all Saturday Savers participants were tagged, discussing this very idea, Giving some buzz back to saturdaysavers? PLUS the SLOTH tipbot is back!. I loved seeing it, and I immediately though about some kind of collaboration between the We Are Alive Tribe and the SlothBuzz community, to resurrect and continue this wonderfully motivating initiative, that so many of us loved.

I appreciated, and gained so much benefit from my participation in the Saturday Savers Club, that I really want to do what I can for it to continue, and I'd say that the more help and support in this endeavor, the merrier. What do y'all think of this idea? Would you like to be a part of making it happen?

However and in whichever form the Saturday Savers Club ends up being relaunched, the name and particulars of the original initiate will likely be changed a bit, but the essential dynamic of what made it such a fun and useful initiative would remain the same. I'm really looking forward to seeing what comes of this.

Oh a slightly different topic, I want to give shout-out to @rajpootg, for doing such a great job with his first Monday and Tuesday @alive.chat posts. Thank you very much, my friend! I'm grateful to Wilson (@cursephantom) for handing off his @alive.chat responsibilities so masterfully, as it made the transition between him and our new co-host basically seamless. You are both very much appreciated, my friends!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite late, close to 3PM, partly due to it being another dark, densely-cloudy, and rainy day. Even though the conditions were far from ideal, I focused on some photography for my posts first, after which I got a few small tasks done, including chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and tidying up the area a bit, in the rain. Given that the weather made working outside so unpleasant, I cut my land-work day short, heading to the Landing to heat myself up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I made my way back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I had a lot of notifications, so many in fact that I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop a little after 10:30PM, to do some asset management, and then to go to bed by 11PM. I woke up a bit after 7AM, having slept reasonably 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 1:45PM, so it's a really good 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, on straining and blending coconut kefir, and then on 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
