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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, another Sunday is upon us, and in my jungle community it's a day that I usually devote to myself and my own endeavors, a large part of which are my various important tasks for the We Are Alive Tribe, like transferring assorted tokens for contests and payments, and of course my once-weekly thorough asset management. Even though it all takes a fair amount of time to complete each week, I'm happy to do so, and it's something to which I quite look forward.

Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) mentioned in Discord to me this morning that he had already made the first round of purchases of gold and silver assets via his UPMA (United Precarious Metals Assocation) account, which is the first step for us to begin the process of backing our assets with gold and silver, so very good news indeed. He'll be writing and publishing a post about it shortly. He's working on the precious metals side of things, and we're both working on investing, leveraging, and growing our digital crypto assets, with him supplying much of the investment liquidity (though mine is helping too), and me doing my asset-leveraging alchemy with it (and our present asset income) on a daily and weekly basis.

As I continue to judiciously acquire and stake assorted tokens on our numerous community accounts, and add other diverse tokens to their respective diesel/liquidity pools on @aliveandthriving, @heartbeatvault01, and @heartbeatonhive, our income streams are multiplying and growing, with the process being immensely accelerated by Ben's and my regular personal investments. As such, things are flowing more easefully and increasingly more rapidly, which makes my job all the more fun indeed.

Ben and I are working to make ALIVE and HEARTBEAT the most useful, valuable, stable, dependable, reliable, and trustworthy tokens on Hive Engine, and we're doing so by continuing to add multiple layers of diverse backing for both. This is a prerequisite for an abundant, healthy, flourishing, and thriving community economy and financial system, which is exactly why we're going to the focused multi-faceted efforts that we are, because we need to lay a solid foundation, upon which to build a community financial empire that endures.

Every consistent and regular step that we take is bringing us closer to this, and we're utterly determined to make it happen. Anyone and everyone who would like to assist us in this monumental endeavor is very much encouraged to send community contributions/donations to our new 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. Regardless of the asset or the amount, it helps, and we'd deeply appreciate it. We have much to build, and we're just getting started, my friends!

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. It was a rainy and uninspiring day to work outside, so I decided to make another batch of some of my special popcorn in the new kitchen, on which I nibbled a bit before doing a food-supply run to Tutu's to restock the new kitchen space, and helping Alex to repair a problematic water-line break. With those done, I made myself some food in the new kitchen, and with that and my superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by a bit after 10:15PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by a little after 11PM, just as our solar-electrical batteries crashed, and power went out. I woke up around 4AM, and unable to sleep, I fiddled around on Hive on my phone for a short while, before making another attempt at sleep about half an hour later. I woke up again just after 8:30AM, having slept well, going immediately to turn on the generator to get the electrical system back on, then immediately back to the Flow House to get my Qortal node back online, and finally to the new kitchen to prepare my superfood fire coffee, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:30PM, so it's a splendid time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my numerous Sunday 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 (even though I already have enough for 2 days of posts), and then on a few small jungle-community tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
