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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

Happy HPUD! Well, I didn't have very much HIVE this month to power up for today's February HPUD, but the 40.988 HIVE that I did power up made it certain that I will strongly surpass 16,600 HP before the end of this coming week, and that I'll exceed 16,700 HP some time before the end of the week after that. That's not a bad cadence, and one that will bring me to 17,000 Hive Power in just a few weeks time.

Being Sunday, and a beautifully sunny one at that, today is when I allocate time to doing my once-weekly thorough asset management for the We Are Alive, and I expect it to go much more easefully and quickly this time around compared to last week, when I had to accomplish everything on my phone, due to our community internet being down. Our switch to StarLink restored a solid internet connection, and it's been smooth sailing since, which makes my daily and weekly Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks go so much more efficiently, effectively, and quickly.

So after publishing this post, I've got a few small Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks to get done, then it's on to asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, and my own too, of course. The amount of investment liquidity coming in each week on my own account, and on @aliveandthriving, are moving into very solid and useful ranges, which is making my asset-leveraging-and-growing job so much more fun. I'm still working to get asset generation and income streams flowing well on @heartbeatonhive and @heartbeatvault01, and progress is certainly being made, though at a bit slower pace due to less investment liquidity with which to work.

Creating and growing multiple streams of income in a good array of useful and valuable assets, especially when starting with lower investment liquidity, takes time, and it must be done in layers and stages, with some streams being started first, to allow for other other streams to come online much more easily and quickly. @heartbeatonhive and @heartbeatvault01 are both still at the early stages of this process, with @aliveandthriving and my own account being much further along, which I'm endeavoring to balance and level out as soon as possible, one step at a time.

If I were to extrapolate where we will be in a year's time, based on Ben's and my regular investments into building and growing our 'We Are Alive Tribe' decentralized community economy and financial system, and my ongoing asset leveraging and growing, I'd say that we will be many times further along than we are now, which is a very exciting proposition for me, because our investment liquidity and leverage will be so much greater. We're getting there, my friends, and it's going faster all the time!

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to straining and blending coconut kefir in the Landing. I didn't feel inspired to dive into land work yesterday, as I was really wanting to go more slowly, and to enjoy the beauty of the day, without worrying about tasks that needed to be done. I put in a lot of work into troubleshooting our failed internet connection the week before, and setting up and configuring our new StarLink internet connection last week, so I felt fine with that decision. After finishing with kefir, and walking and taking photos around the property a bit, I headed to the Landing again to make myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard), to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then to return to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done surprisingly early, by around 8:30PM, and after some asset management, buying 15 GBQ (Gold-Backed QORT) on Qortal, and leveling up in Dungeon Cities, I went to bed by a bit after 11PM. I woke up around 8AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, heading back to the Flow House to power up my liquid HIVE for HPUD, writing and publishing my February HPUD post about it, then starting on this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my 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 a few small community/land work tasks. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
