I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1442 - Even with All Its Challenges I Still Love Hive, and Some Wandering Wednesday Thoughts - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, June 30, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This morning started out very gray and cloudy, but it's been clearing up nicely, and the sun is beginning to make a welcomed appearance. I'm sitting up at the Flow House, sipping on my superfood fire coffee and medicinal tea, after having just finished an absolutely glorious breakfast. Making breakfast for myself is a new habit that I'm loving, and that has been making a huge difference. I feel good this morning, calm, relaxed, and present, which is a really nice change. I have a session today, so I want to write and publish this post as early as my mellow mood will allow.

I powered up a little over 55 HIVE yesterday evening, and of course I wrote and published a post about it. I'm already notably past 20,200 Hive Power now, and I'll certainly reach 20,300 HP before the week is done. The rate at which my Hive Power is growing now is really quite astounding, and it just keeps going faster and faster. Very soon I'll be gaining 1,000 HP or more per month, so 25,000 Hive Power before the end of the year is looking increasingly feasible.

For all of Hive's numerous challenges, issues, and problems, I still love this Blockchain and its community, of which I've been a part for close to 5 years now, very much. Even though it's quieter as of late than I ever remember it, I'm still here building, growing, and supporting my fellow Hivers, and the We Are Alive Tribe, every single day. In my own life, and on Hive, I still need to come to terms with, and to face, my disappointment, disillusionment, sadness, and heartbreak, but it does feel like I'm beginning to do that, a bit at a time.

There are so many truly amazing people on this Blockchain, even if I interact with fewer of them than I have in the past, partly due to how I've been feeling, and because there are just so many fewer or them currently active. There are still several Hivers who are developing and bringing a lot of incredible things to this Blockchain Ecosystem, even in Hive's very challenged present state of affairs. One very dedicated fellow who I've been following for a while, @sagarkothari88, has been going all in on making his HiveSuite, which is basically like an all-in-one Hive hub, as useful, smooth, and all encompassing as possible. Although I've been keeping track of his work on it for a bit, I only recently started exploring and looking more closely at it, and I have to say, I really like what's he's done, and what he's doing with it, and I highly recommend that y'all check it out.

Across all domains, there are truly massive and momentous changes, shifts, and disclosures coming to the world that we've known, with humanity awakening from its intentionally-induced slumber at an exceedingly rapid rate now. Most 'conspiracy theories' will be shown, and very clearly, to have been true, though the whole picture is so much larger than even that. The world and humanity is waking up, and growing up, and regardless of the darkness and the many tragedies, what's coming is more beautiful than I could ever hope to put to words. That's already happening, and has been for quite a while, but now way more people are paying attention and connecting the dots. The Great Awakening will not be televised or officially announced, it will be directly experienced and lived. There's no other way for it to happen. The time is now, my friends.

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1PM, giving my attention, as I almost always do, to some photography for my posts first, after which I chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar. Once that was completed to my satisfaction, I took a quick break up at the Flow House, then I dove into installing, setting up, and getting the new mobile-network router up and running. We've been on StarLink for months now, and while it is very good, it's more expensive with our (mostly my) data usage, so it was decided to go back to using a mobile-network router to use the T-Mobile network. This new router was notably more complex than the previous version, and although it took me over 2 hours to figure out and get it working correctly, I was successful in the end, as I always am. After finally wrapping that up, I went to Wabisabi to heat myself up some leftover food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to power up my Hive, write and publish my post about it, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by just after 9PM, and after scanning my X feed for a good while (get on X, as it's the best source for accurate and valid information about what's actually happening in the world, though of course discernement is always necessary), I went to bed by a just after 11:30PM. I woke up really early, by about 4AM, and even though I tried to get back to sleep for a while, I finally just got up to prepare this post to write, to scan my X feed a bit more, to go to Wabisabi to prepare my superfood fire coffee, to make myself some breakfast, and to collect more of my medicinal tea from the fridge, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12PM, so it's a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!
