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 crossed the threshold of 20,500 Hive Power this morning, and given the current rate of my HP growth, it's fairly likely that I'll exceed 20,600 Hive Power before the end of the week. It's also highly probable that I'll reach 21,000 Hive Power before the end of the month, and with my August HPUD powerup, which will be massively augmented from withdrawing and swapping the 655+ HBD that I presently have in Savings for 13,000+ HIVE, by the 1st of the month I should have somewhere around 34,000 Hive Power.

Although I had hoped to allow my HBD in Savings to grow for more time, so that when I did withdraw and swap it for HIVE to power up, that I would be able to reach orca level, but this will still be a large leap, and attaining orca level will come much sooner in any case. Although I am still investing and growing assets on my own account of course, the vast majority of my focus at the moment is going to rebuilding the income streams for the We Are Alive Tribe, so that we will be able to reinstate distributing HIVE to our HP delegators and in our ALIVE dividends.

The We Are Alive Tribe is still receiving a small bit of HIVE every day, which I'm immediately powering up on @aliveandthriving and delegating to Bradley's account, @bradleyarrow. This, in addition to the our growing holding of liquid DAB, is slowly increasing our daily HIVE income, which I just keep staking and delegating to Bradley, so we're receiving a little more HIVE every day, which is a very good thing. We're also supporting Bradley increasingly more in his allied project, which I think is very win-win.

We'll also have sufficient liquid BEE by this week to cover our portion of the pool-creation fee for our upcoming shared liquidity pool with the LBI project, @lbi-token, which is very good news indeed. Even with so much bad news and things falling apart on Hive, there is still a good deal of building happening.

These are exceedingly challenging times for Hive and for the We Are Alive Tribe (for humanity worldwide too for that matter), but I will never give up, and I will continue working for the good of us all, to the best of my ability. I do very much hope that those of you who have supported, and believed and invested in the We Are Alive Tribe will stick with us through this very rough spot. You have my word that I'm working every day to improve the situation, and that I will make it happen, one way or another.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first. Once I had a nice batch of shots taken, I focused on three main tasks for the day, chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, running an ethernet cable through conduit from Braja's place to Elohi's hut and setting him up with an internet connection, and digging another round of planting holes in the durian orchard. Once I finally had all that completed, I took a shower, heated myself up some leftover food and collected my leftover superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, and with those in hands I made my way back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by around 9:30PM, and after making myself some very custom ramen soup in Wabisabi, and scanning my X feed for a while, I went to bed by just after 11:30PM. I woke up around 8AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, and to write this post. It's now just after 1PM, so it's a marvelous 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 incarnation 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!

Join the worldwide Satsman Army! It's by far the best, most fun, inspiring, and motivating way to earn Bitcoin/BTC!
