I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1326 - 17,300 HP Surpassed, and Yet Another Late Goals-and-Progress Update - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, March 15, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, it's still raining, though thankfully there are no longer intense winds and sideways rain. With the Flow House still uninhabitable, I've been doing my computer work, and sleeping, in the Kasbah, which has mostly been working, though I still feel so out of sorts, as my daily routine has been so strongly challenged by the current conditions. One thing that I also noticed since the two days of intense winds and rain, is that the internet connectivity on my phone has been very poor. This morning, as I was collecting and adding all the token data, and calculating my gains, for my goals-and-progress update, my phone began to have even more pronounced network-connectivity issues, to the point now where I can't connect to the internet on it at all. That is extremely problematic, as there's a whole lot that I do on my phone. Because of that internet-connectivity issue on my phone, I had to postpone writing my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update until later, when I have more time to address and find a way to work around that notable obstacle.

Given that the leadership council meeting was being held in the Kasbah this morning, I had to temporarily relocate myself and my laptop to the new kitchen, which is apparently now called 'Wabisabi', to continue with my post-writing endeavors. I don't know exactly what I'm going to do if I can't use my phone tonight, but I'll face that when the time comes. I can do most things on my laptop, thankfully, though some things certainly take me longer. I'm not sure yet whether the connectivity issues with my phone are due to network failure, or hardware failure. I'll ascertain that later.

I just walked up to the Flow House, to assess the situation, and yep, it's a bloody disaster, with even more structural damage now present, and almost everything inside soaking wet. I can't really even get in there yet to try to start cleaning, and repairing the damage, because the rain just won't stop. This has to be addressed quite soon, regardless of the weather.

I finished the most important asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe late yesterday afternoon, but I had to leave a bunch for the evening, my own included, as I had to get a few jungle-community tasks done. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get through all my notifications until quite late, by a bit after 10:30PM, so I focused on getting the rest of the community asset management done as quickly as possible, and by the time that I completed that, it was already past 12AM, so I had to leave my own personal asset management for this morning,

One positive from yesterday is the fact that I blew past 17,300 Hive Power by the afternoon, which means that I'll certainly exceed 17,400 HP before the end of this new week. I'm keeping my daily focus on my Hive tasks and routine the best that I'm able, though the present conditions really don't make that easy, I've got to say. I know that these current difficulties will pass, and I'll continue moving forward to the best of my ability in the meantime.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Kasbah, after completing most of my assorted and numerous Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 4:30PM, giving my attention to some rainy-day photography for my posts, to a few small jungle-community tasks, and to getting the generator started, since cloudy, rainy days seem like all we've got as of late. I also brought a full propane tank from Tutu's to Power Sharing, as a backup for the one that was on the generator. With all that wrapped up, I made myself some food (a grilled cheese, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with smoked salmon, pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and Dijon mustard) in Wabisabi, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Kasbah, to begin my evening Hive tasks, which as I mentioned above, I wasn't able to complete until quite late, and after some community asset management, I went to sleep by around 12:15AM. I woke up by around 6:45AM, having slept fairly well, finally doing my own asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Kasbah to unsuccessfully try to put together and write my goals-and-progress update, putting that on hold due to phone issues, relocating to Wabisabi, and then beginning to write this post on my laptop. It's now just after 12:15PM, so it's quite a good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving Wabisabi a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
