I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1447 - 20.4k HP Before End of Week, a Surprise HP Delegation, and Some Community Asset Management - Lower Puna, Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 6, 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'm currently sitting at just under 20,330 Hive Power, so blasting past 20,400 HP before the end of this new week will be easy-peasy I'd say. At this rate of growth, I very well surpass 21,000 Hive Power before the end of July. That'd be a a rather nice birthday gift.

Although I wasn't quite ready in terms of my surplus HP (anything under a 50% delegation), I accepted an HP lease from @edgerik last week, which I felt was a very mutually-beneficial arrangement, since he always gives strong support to the We Are Alive Tribe, and of course I get more SWAP.HIVE to invest. While that did take me a fair bit past my optimal 50%-delegation ratio, last night I learned that I had won a one-month delegation of 1,000 HP from @forykw (thank you again, my friend!), for participating in his monthly contest, which took my effective Hive Power a good way below my 50%-delegation ratio. That balanced things out nicely, and it very much helped.

I finally got to some more thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe on @aliveandthriving this morning, with the unused SWAP.HIVE being swapped for LBI and HSBIDAO, to add into their shared pool. I also swapped for more HSBIDAO, to increase our holding of that token as much, and as quickly, as I can, to accelerate its self generation. Given that we don't have that much more time before our chunk of HIVE on @hive-155221 runs out (a few months), I've got to focus our resources strongly to be able to generate an HSBIDAO income that reaches or surpasses our lost weekly HIVE income from our @bee.voter delegation. I'm considering donating or loaning a some of the HSBIDAO that I'm accumulating on my own account to speed things up even more.

As I think about it more, that's probably what I'll do, send and keep track of the HSBIDAO that I send to the We Are Alive Tribe, and when we reach a point when it's no longer needed, then I'll just send the same amount of HSBIDAO that I originally sent back to me, with no interest. That way I'll be able to focus the HSBIDAO income from 3 1,000-HP delegations onto one account, in addition to the growth from the HSBIDAO liquidity pools. The We Are Alive Tribe needs my HSBIDAO a lot more than I do at the moment.

I may also do the same sort of loan with BEE, to quicken our accumulation of liquid BEE that I'm saving to cover our half of the pool-creation fees for our upcoming shared ALIVE:LBI pool with @lbi-token. I've donated/contributed a fair bit of SWAP.HIVE to building and growing the We Are Alive Tribe's economy and financial infrastructure over time, but with the state of everything at the moment, I'm thinking loans might indeed be better.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up most of my numerous Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 3:30PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had a nice batch of shots taken, I dug up a bamboo seedling that I had found, to put it in a pot, that was growing next to a mature bamboo that had flowered and died, at the head of the first driveway. With that completed, I went to lay on the trampoline in the glorious sunshine for a short while. I spent a fair bit of time after that replacing the ethernet heads on an ethernet cord that I needed for network testing, and using it to test a particular network configuration (it didn't go well, so back to the drawing board). Once I wrapped that up, I wen to Wabisabi to make myself some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by about 10PM, and after setting up Tailscale on my current Arch Linux installation, and scanning my X feed, I went to bed by just before 12AM. I woke up a bit before 8AM, still feeling that I needed a little more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to prepare this post and my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress update to write later, doing some 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset management, then beginning on this post. It's now just after 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 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 my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress update as soon as I'm able to do it, and the next version of these posts tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
