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 I claimed my last round of interest from my HBD in Savings, 5.348 HBD, and then I immediately initiated a withdrawal of the whole amount, 656.080 HBD, which will fully unstake by Monday, July 20th. Once that 3-day withdrawal process is completed, I'll still have 4 steps to complete as I set up a new way to grow our DAB holding more quickly, swapping it for HIVE (this part might take the longest, since I'll be watching the market prices for a bit first), powering it up on my account on the August HPUD, delegating the majority of it to @dab-vote, around 10,000 HP, and then beginning to send a certain amount of the incoming DAB to @aliveandthriving as a loan, which will then accelerate the growth of our daily HIVE income.

At the current market prices, my 656+ HBD would give me notably over 13,500 HIVE, which when combined with my current 20,565.588 HP, the upcoming HIVE from post payouts, and my current liquid HIVE, after my August HPUD powerup I'll have a good bit more than 34,000 Hive Power, possibly even near 34.5k HP. Although I've done multiple mega-powerups over the years, this will be by far my largest to date. While it won't take me to orca level, it will bring me a fair bit closer.

I remember noticing a notable uptick in how quickly my Hive Power accumulated at around 15,000 HP, and it's been going quite a bit faster than that since then, so I'm really curious where it will be after my upcoming HPUD powerup. I know that very soon I'll be gaining 1,000+ HP per month, which will as always be split 50/50 (or as close to that as I can get it at any particular time) between my vote value and HP delegations, and boy will it help a lot.

Our weekly community HIVE income will be increasing on two fronts, from the ever-increasing holding or liquid DAB on @aliveandthriving (assisted by me loaning incoming DAB from my account), and by our continually-growing HP delegation to Bradley's account, @bradleyarrow. While the HIVE income from DAB will rise linearly, the HIVE income from Bradley will rise exponentially, since all present HIVE income is being focused, staked, and compounded on @aliveandthriving, and then delegated to Bradley.

We started with 22 HP delegated to Bradley on Sunday, and today, Friday, we're up to 36.5 HP delegated, so it's rising fairly quickly, and that speed will accelerate the more that I progress, and with it the growth of our HIVE income. This is actually progressing more quickly than I expected, which is very good indeed.

Yesterday, Thursday, after finishing up with my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by about 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. We started on time, and we wrapped it up by around 5PM, after which I headed to Wabisabi to make myself some food, and to collect my superfood fire coffee from the fridge, before returning to the Flow House to scan my X feed for a bit, and to begin on my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by around 9:30PM, and after scanning my X feed a while more, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up very late, just before 8:45AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then making my way back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:45PM, 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 on some photography for my posts first, and then on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
