I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1530 - The Hurricane Has Finally Past, and Moving Back to the Flow House Today - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Saturday, September 26, 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm very happy to say that hurricane Nolo, which has been hanging out just south of the Big Island for days now, and giving us lots of clouds and a fair bit of rain in the process, has finally moved away. We even got a little bit of wonderful sunshine this morning, which was absolutely glorious after several days of rain and clouds. We were very fortunate indeed that Nolo didn't come closer to the the Big Island, as it was a very strong storm.

With the hurricane finally gone, I plan to move myself and my technology back to the Flow House later today, and to roll and tie up the pull-down tarps there once again. I've evacuated the Flow House, to relocate to the Kazbah, three times this year so far, because we've had such an unusually high number of tropical storms and hurricanes passing through our area. I'm really quite ready for that to be done.

On Hive, I finally got around to doing some more-thorough asset management, especially pool management, on two WAAT (We Are Alive Tribe) accounts, Ben's @heartbeatonhive and @heartbeatvault01, which was much needed, as quite a bit of SWAP.HIVE was accumulating on both of them. Now I have another round of the same on my own account, which I'll try to do either today or tomorrow.

Hive's economy continues to improve across all metrics, the fiat price of HIVE, the Hive Debt ratio, which is now right on the edge of moving back below 20%, and the APR for Hive Power, that is also continuing its downward trend. This is a huge shift from even just a month ago, and it's so very good to see.

Even though my Hive Power has reached quite respectable levels, and it is growing quite quickly, I still need a whole lot more of it, so it needs to grow much more rapidly than it currently is. The main reason for that necessity is that I already have multiple sizable HP delegations that I want to make, but I don't want to go too far beyond my target of 50% of my HP delegated, so I'm mostly just waiting at the moment. It doesn't help that my delegated HP keeps rising, right along with my undelegated HP, so the process of growing a solid delegation buffer is taking longer than I'd like. I have at least four future HP delegations waiting in the wings, which I'm really hoping to make before the end of the year.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Kazbah, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by around 2:45PM again, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and then to chopping and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, digging six more planting holes next to Halai Hapai, and after taking a shower to clean up, and taking a short break at the Kazbah, I went to help Ano (who I also rescued from the top of a Cecropia tree that he was cutting down because it was too close to Tutu's, and his ladder fell out of reach) with some fencing tasks out on the edge of the cow pasture. It was already getting dark by the time that we finished, so I headed straight for Wabisabi, and with perfect timing, because Avi and Michael had just returned from town with the Thai food that they ordered and picked up for us. This was the first time in years that I've had Thai food (which I love), and my super spicy veggie pad Thai with red curry was absolutely glorious! After sharing our Thai dinner with Avi and Michael, I collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the temporary fridge, and I headed back to the Kazbah, to work with Hermes some more, and to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by just after 9PM, and after another solid round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by just before 11:30PM. I woke up by just after 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 clone the current Arch Linux SSD in my laptop, 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 my numerous other Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before moving my technology back to the Flow House, then walking over to my friend Lea's place to assist her with a few small tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
