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 took over asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe over a year ago, and since that time I've also taken on increasing responsibilities in relation to it, along with getting much more deeply involved across more community accounts, juggling, leveraging, and growing our assets in the most efficient, effective, and rapid way possible, as I work with our available resources at any particular time. There are now three district sectors within the We Are Alive Tribe where I'm focusing my asset-managing endeavors, @aliveandthriving and most of the other community accounts, Ben's @heartbeatonhive / @thelevelupgame / @pulsation, and now Ben's new @heartbeatvault01 account for HEARTBEAT. Since their assets are kept mostly separate within their three respective domains, it's necessary to bootstrap multiple streams of income and asset generation, within each of these three community economic and financial centers, individually.

Because I began funneling token earnings from most of our community accounts to @aliveandthriving first, usually on a weekly basis, which is where I've focused the majority of my asset leveraging and investing over the past year, I'm much more further along in the process than I am yet on @heartbeatonhive (including @thelevelupgame and @pulsation) or on @heartbeatvault01. From what I was able to accomplish just using existing assets, and the very-helpful direct investments from Ben and myself, we've got many quite good income streams flows on @aliveandthriving now, and many of the associated community accounts.

It really is quite a juggling act keeping track of so many assets, and how they're being used, across so many accounts, let me tell you, especially since I do pretty much all of it from memory! There are two very important community assets which are presently being used faster than they're being replenished, HIVE and BBH, so it's necessary for me to put greater focus there until I can get both to where we're gaining more than were using for distribution each week. Although it's not as quick as I'd like, I am making steady progress increasing our daily and weekly HIVE income via acquiring more DAB/DBOND/RUG, with our HIVE income from that source (liquid DAB) presently sitting at 0.244 HIVE per day, which is not including our HIVE income from other sources, such as from our large BEE delegation. I've got to deal with BBH quite soon indeed.

One thing that I forgot to mention in my post yesterday is that I delegated 50 HP, to complement the 100 HP that Ben delegated, to get @heartbeatvault01 into our curation trail, for the dual purpose of adding votes, and jump starting another avenue of asset generation from curation. That will help all of you, and me as well in my asset-leveraging mission on @heartbeatvault01. Now I've got to get a substantially larger SWAP.HIVE income going on that account, to fund liquidity in diesel/liquidity pools, and to acquire more useful and valuable tokens.

While the token income on @heartbeatvault01 is not at all impressive yet, I can promise you that it will be soon, though it will still take a bit of time, even with Ben's large SWAP.HIVE contributions, though good progress is indeed being made. There is much still to accomplish in terms of finance and our community economy, but we got an excellent start, we're moving forward at a solid pace, we're just getting started!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little before 2:30PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had that completed to my satisfaction, I made a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock the Landing, then I did two good rounds of clearing with my machete up along the first driveway, punctuated by an asset-management break in the middle. After my last round of clearing, I went to the Landing to make myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard), and with that in hand, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I paused that for a time to go attend a going-away dinner for Simone, a young woman who had been staying here for a while. I didn't stay long, and about half an hour later I was already back at the Flow House, diving back into Hive. I got everything done by around 9:45PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by just after 11PM. I woke up way too early, just before 4AM, and unable to sleep, I did a little asset management, then I made another attempt at sleep by just after 5AM. I woke up again close to 8:30AM, having slept fairly 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 1:30PM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend 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 photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next iteration 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
