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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I've mentioned a few times in my recent posts about how the recent very challenging times on Hive have had the effect of basically weeding out almost all but the most solidly committed, dedicated, consistent, and trustworthy people and projects, separating the wheat from the chaff, as the saying goes. I've been watching, noticing, and engaging with and supporting various people and their projects that have been, or that have recently appeared, on my radar. There are some excellent projects that I'm doing my best to assist them as much as I'm able, with my own account, and working on behalf of the We Are Alive Tribe.

One idea that's been strongly in my mind is to somehow build and weave together a larger alliance of these solid projects and communities, focused on creating mutually-beneficial and mutually-supportive dynamics, systems, and collaboration that are good for all involved. One marvelous example of this idea is the recent rebranding and relaunch of the Saturday Savers Club as the Slothly Savers Club by the #slothbuzz community, and the multi-community, multi-project collaboration that's grown up around it to lend support, Another introduction to SlothBuzz community and #SlothlySavers.

This and many other possible collaboratively-shared initiatives, ventures, and ways of giving back to the everyone who supports and invests in our communities and projects, are exactly what I mean, and what I aim to help make happen. Just imagine some of the other very cool things that we could co-host and build, working together for the good of all.

Some of the exemplary people and projects that come to mind as I write this are @bradleyarrow and his BBH Project and community, the @uni-coin / @glittertoken project, our new friends in the @slothbuzz community, @anadolu's @centtoken project, @fjworld and his @pept project, @enginewitty and his @pimptoken project, @forykw /@forkyishere and his @atexoras Project, among a few others. I highly recommend following, supporting, and getting to know them all!

We have some incredible people on the Blockchain, and I want to help bring them together in mutual support, and to work on making badass stuff for everyone. This is what the We Are Alive Tribe is all about, so if this sounds interesting, let's talk!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to collecting coconut water and coconut meat from several younger coconuts to start another round of kefir fermentation. When I had that done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, then I made a batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn, at the request of Andrew, a fellow has been staying at GaiaYoga, and for whom there was scheduled to be a going-away party in the evening. I was invited to the gathering, so I had to make sure that I got a good chunk on Hive done before I went. With that in mind, I made myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to see how much that I could get done in the time that I had. I worked on Hive until just after 7PM, pausing to attend Andrew's going-away party, where I remained until a little after 8:30PM, after which I headed back to the Flow House to continue with Hive. Since I lost an hour and a half, I wasn't able to get fully caught up on my notifications before stopping by around 10:45PM, to do some asset management, and then to go to sleep by a bit after 11PM. I woke up by around 7AM, 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 after 1:15PM, so it's a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's schdeduled shorty. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
