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'm happy to report that I just completed another round of investing into building and growing our 'We Are Alive Tribe' decentralized community economy and financial framework, thanks to the always generous donations/contributions from Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk). This time around he sent 100 SWAP.HIVE, and 0.1 SWAP.LTC to our @heartbeatvault01 account, and 100 SWAP.HIVE, 100 BEE, and 10,000 HEARTBEAT to our new 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif (I still need to add info and a link for this account to my post footer, and to add an avatar and banner image). These larger regular investments from Ben, and the more modest daily ones from me, are extremely useful, as they're allowing me to give nice boosts to our various income streams, and to start new ones.

On @heartbeatvault01, I used the SWAP.HIVE that Ben had sent to add a bit more liquidity to the SWAP.HIVE:PWR, DVS:DHEDGE, AFIT:SWAP.HIVE, SWAP.HIVE:HASHSCORE, SWAP.HIVE:TRADE, SWAP.HIVE:TRIBE pools, to various CENT pools, to all 4 CCC pools, as I added liquidity to one new pool, AEGIS:SWAP.HIVE. Unfortunately I didn't notice the SWAP.LTC on that account until after I had already allocated most of the SWAP.HIVE (doh!), so until the next larger investment, I'll just add a bit to the SWAP.HIVE:SWAP.LTC pool each day, as the amount of available SWAP.HIVE allows.

I forwarded the assets that Ben sent to @waat-swif on to @aliveandthriving, where I added the BEE to our growing stack of liquid BEE (that we need for the creation of new ALIVE pools, and to start new distribution contracts for pool rewards), I staked the HEARTBEAT, and I used a good portion of the SWAP.HIVE to mostly clear all the sell orders for DAB and DBOND off the market (only reasonable sell orders...lol!), with the other portion going into increasing liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:ATF and the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pools, and to adding liquidity to the same new pool, AEGIS:SWAP.HIVE. I was able to acquire a substantial amount of DAB, which should give us a nice boost to our daily and weekly HIVE income.

The new and increased income streams will make my asset-leveraging endeavors flow so much more quickly and easily, not in huge ways, but in very useful ones. As I progress, I'm continuing to add liquidity to new pools, many of which are ones that I've found to be very good on my own account, with some also being new, and often very useful, experiments.

On @aliveandthriving and @heartbeatvault01, I've already notably exceeded the liquidity that I have in certain pools on my own account, which is very interesting, as it gives me an idea of what different amount of liquidity earn, and it also gives me something for which to look forward. The greater our investment liquidity, the more fun and useful this will become for all of us over time, my friends!

Yesterday, Friday, after finishing up most of my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, I (unexpectedly) prepared for a session that I (incorrectly) thought was not happening. The session started late, and it was not an ideal day for a session at all, being cloudy, rainy, and chilly, but it did go well. We wrapped it up by around 5:15PM, after which I went to turn on the generator (since it was cloudy and rainy all day), and then to the new kitchen to make myself some food (a mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard). With my food done, and my leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I had a lot of notifications again, but thankfully I was able to get through them all this time, finshing by a little after 10PM, doing some asset management, then going to bed by a bit before 12AM. I woke up a little after 6:30AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, then returning to the Flow House to allocate the assets that Ben had sent for the We Are Alive Tribe, and to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's quite a good 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 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!

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
