I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1413 - 19.6k HP Surpassed, an Initial BEE-Income Assessment, and My HP-Delegation Dilemma - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, June 1, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I was surprised to see that I had already crossed over the threshold of 19,600 Hive Power by yesterday evening, which is a bit ahead of when I was expecting it. This was made possible by my HPUD powerup yesterday morning. With that being the case, I will very likely pass 19,700 Hive Power before the end of the week, and 20,000 Hive Power before the end of the month. 25,000 Hive Power before the end of the year is looking increasingly feasible.

I've had a little more than a full day to assess the We Are Alive Tribe's augmented BEE income, after recalling all community BEE delegations from @bee.voter just over a week ago, and while the numbers are not as high as I'd like, they're also not horrible either. Across all 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts, we seem to be pulling in approximately 2 liquid BEE/2 staked BEE (so 4 BEE total) per day, which for long-term growth is great, but for the purpose of quickly growing our liquid BEE to cover our half of the creation costs of our upcoming shared ALIVE:LBI pool with the LBI project, not so much. As such, removing our BEE from a few liquidity pools, swapping various other tokens for BEE, combined with making use of the BEE coming in from daily from curation, seems to be our best course of action at the moment.

Thankfully, with all community BEE power now recalled, we're gaining as much new staked BEE as liquid BEE, which means that our total BEE income from curtation will continue to rise over time. That's very good, because we need to generate large quantities of BEE for future pool creation, and for the creation of new reward-distribution contracts for those pools, as we go.

I don't have a set timeline for the creation of the ALIVE:LBI pool just yet, as I want to track our current BEE income for a bit longer, I want more liquid BEE to accumulate before resorting removing BEE from pools or swapping other tokens for BEE, and it's also still necessary to go over the details with the fellow who runs the LBI project and token. I know that the timing will become clear quite soon.

On my own account, I'm still in my quandary of needing and wanting to delegate more HP, both directly, and by accepting more substantial HP leases, and my intention to keep the ratio of my delegated HP as close to 50% as possible. Currently, I have a surplus of 355.6 HP, which is great, but also not really sufficient yet for my intended larger delegations. Delegating a nice chunk of HP to @pixydust, increasing my HP delegation to @uni-coin, and accepting a sizable HP lease from @centtoken via Hive Engine, are at the very top of my list for new upcoming delegations. Now it's just a matter of when.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 3PM, in part due to the uninspiring rainy weather, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to some jungle-community tasks, including helping Melekai to plant some new water-lilly tubers that she received in the mail, dumping chopped coconuts from the upper coco bar, and harvesting 2 racks of ripe bananas. With those completed, I started the generator (it was rainy and cloudy all day long), made myself some food in Wabisabi, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work with Hermes a little more. I got through all of my notifications just before 10PM, and after some much-needed asset management, I went to bed by just before 11PM. I woke up around 2:15AM, and unable to sleep, I did a little agentic-AI research, before making another attempt at sleep. I woke up again around 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, returning to the Flow House to write and publish my goals-and-progress update, and finally to write this post. It's now just before 2PM, so it's a wonderful 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 some 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
