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 8 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Well, as expected, I blew past 35,700 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, and given where it is currently, I'll exceed 35,800 Hive Power by about the middle of the coming week. 36,000 Hive Power is coming very quickly indeed, on the road to 40,000 Hive Power before the end of the year, very hopefully.

Today I wanted to give an update on my progress in rebuilding the 'We Are Alive Tribe' (WAAT) HIVE income. Things have been progressing quite well on that front, with our HP delegation to Bradley (@bradleyarrow), and our subsequent daily HIVE income from him, having both increased notably since my last HIVE-income update.

As of today, our HP delegation to Bradley, which is now at 650 HP delegated, is pulling in 0.165 HIVE daily on @aliveandthriving, with both continuing to grow at a rapid pace. Our HIVE income from our liquid DAB on @aliveandthriving and @aliveandsocial are pulling in 0.167 HIVE and 0.164 HIVE respectively (I need to balance them out again), with both DAB and DBOND continuing to increase weekly. Our HP delegation to @ecency on @youarealive is also still pulling in 0.2xx-0.3xx HIVE daily. So our regular HIVE income is now at around 0.7-0.8 HIVE daily. That's still small, of course, and nowhere near what we need to be able to distribute to the community yet, but it continues to grow week by week.

On the HSBIDAO front, we're now past 1,100 HSBIDAO on @aliveandthriving, and combined with our HP delegations on @aliveandthriving and @youarealive of 1,000 HP each to @steembasicincome, we're pulling in a very good daily and weekly income in this useful and valuable asset, and its rate of growth is constantly increasing as we amass more. We still need thousands more, but we're off to a very good start.

There is another new income token, ELIXIR, that was created and is run by one of the fellows who mans the DUO project, and that has quite good payout ratios, which I'm considering beginning to acquire as well. It can be acquired via buying it off the market, or delegating HP to @nectarbytes. It takes 50 staked ELIXIR to trigger HP payouts, on a weekly basis I believe, though I still have to look into the details. The more income streams that we have, the better.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 12:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. With another good batch of shots taken, I walked over to help my friend Lea with some clearing work on her land, and to share dinner with her afterward. We got a lot done, as we always do, and our dinner was lovely. I finally bid my good-byes to Lea somewhere around 6:30PM, walked back to GaiaYoga, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge in Wabisabi, and then I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work with Hermes some more. I got through all of my notifications by just before 9PM, and after working with Hermes for a good bit more, I went to bed by around 12AM. I woke up around 8:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House, to work with Hermes some more, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so it's a lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to it numerous other important Sunday 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 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!
