I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1315 - ALIVE:HEARTBEAT May Be Our Next Pool, and Still Working to Regain Our HIVE-Payout Sustainability - Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, March 4, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Over the past two days, ss I've been mentioning my ideas for our next ALIVE pool, multiple community members have expressed their interest in an ALIVE:HEARTBEAT pool, in fact that was the only potential pool that people mentioned. With that being the case, and the fact that HEARTBEAT is now another primary 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset, to join and compliment ALIVE, it would seem that our next diesel/liquidity pool may indeed end up being ALIVE:HEARTBEAT.

At the moment, HEARTBEAT is trading at a higher price than ALIVE, which is pretty fascinating to see. A shared pool between them would allow our members to leverage and grow our two primary community tokens, which are backed by separate community assets (both of which I'm actively growing), against each other, and to easily and quickly swap between them when needed or desired.

There are several other potentially very useful ALIVE pools, and I'll keep them on my list, regardless of the order in which they're created. I intend to get to all of them over time, so the specific order is not particularly important. What do you think is the most exciting token that we could leverage against ALIVE in a pool?

As I've been mentioning over the past few months in these posts, I'm still working to rebuild our weekly HIVE income, after our weekly HIVE payouts from our delegation of 20,400+ BEE to @bee.voter dropped by about 50%. We were gaining more HIVE than we were sending out just before and just after the new year, and then with that notable drop, we're now sending our more than we're gaining, so something that was until recently sustainable, is now no longer sustainable.

We're able to send our more HIVE than we receive each week because of the big chunk of HIVE that we have parked on our main community account, @hive-155221, that came from the HBD that we had in Savings. Even though Ben and I are making good progress, we're still in a HIVE deficit each week, though at least that deficit is shrinking. We're in something of a race against time, since to maintain the present amounts of HIVE sent out in the ALIVE dividends, I'm going to have to get us back to gaining more HIVE than we're sending, before that big chunk of HIVE on @hive-155221 runs out. If I'm successful, everything will continue as it is now. If I'm unsuccessful, the amount of HIVE that we send out in the ALIVE dividends will have to be lowered, until we're back in the HIVE green. I'm working as quickly as I can, with the resources (Ben's and mine as well) what we have available.

Yesterday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by around 11:30AM, I walked over to my friend Lea's place, to give her a birthday session, and to share her birthday dinner afterward. When I arrived, Lea was sunbathing on her lawn, so I happily joined her. We sunned our naked bodies and chatted for almost an hour, and it was absolutely wonderful. We started her session at a good time, and we wrapped it up by just after 5PM, after which Omya (along with her precious daugher Lunaia) and Melekai arrived, and we made and shared a wonderful dinner, and mind-blowing delicious homemade desserts, with each other. After our good-byes, Melekai and I headed back to GaiaYoga in her car, and upon arriving, I made my way to the new kitchen, to collect my still-substantial amount of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with that in hands, and I returned to the Flow House, to finally begin my evening Hive tasks. Since I started so late, by just after 8:30PM, I wasn't able to get through all of my notifications before I had to stop by close to 11:30PM, to do another round of asset management, and then to go to bed by a bit after 12:15AM. I woke up about 7AM, having slept much better than I expected, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, then heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 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 on some photography for my posts first, then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
