Warm greetings all! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm sitting right on the edge of 36,300 Hive Power as of this morning, so I'll easily reach and surpass that by today, and it's also a given that 36,400 Hive Power will come before the end of this new week. Even with the falling APR for Hive Power, which is a very good thing, my Hive Power is growing at an astoundingly-rapid rate, and it continues to go more quickly all the time.

As I've been mentioning in a few of my recent posts, the falling APR for Hive Power is directly connected with the rising fiat price of HIVE, and with the falling Hive Debt Ratio, with all of them now on a very different trajectory than they were even a month ago. Hive's seemingly-endless economic decline appears to finally have been shifted and put back on a good track, which is so very good to see.

The Hive Debt Ratio as of this morning is at 20.09%, which means that it's right on the very edge of dropping below the 20% threshold that would allow HBD to be distributed once again in post payouts. I know that we've all been waiting for that, and now we're just about there!

Some might say that this beneficial shift in Hive's economy is due to Bitcoin's current surge, and while that is certainly part of the numbers that we're now seeing, this positive economic change began over a month ago at this point, well before Bitcoin began to surge. That is a very good sign indeed.

For those of us who never stopped building and growing, and publishing posts and engaging with our fellow Hivers, despite the Blockchain's economic decline, we're now definitely seeing the benefits of our commitment and dedication, and our consistency and tenacity. As I've said many times, the best times to build and grow are during the lows, with this last low being a doozie indeed, and there are several of us who have made some huge gains during that time. To all of you who stayed, and just kept doing what you're doing, I give you mad props.

Yesterday, Sunday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, I moved myself and my technology back to the Flow House, and I rolled the drop-down tarps along the front back up, which felt very good indeed. After finishing with that, I walked over to my friend Lea's property to assist her with moving a couple larger items, and to hang out with her for a bit. She drove me back to GaiaYoga, since she had given me a cute table and an outdoor chair, and to see some of the changes since she'd been here last. She also collected an assortment of tropical flowers, to put together a few flower arrangements, which you can see below in the photo that she sent me this morning.

After Lea left, I went to Wabisabi to reheat my leftover Thai food (and share a short dinner with Avi), and to collect my superfood fire coffee from the temporary fridge, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work with Hermes a bit more. I got through all of my notifications by a little after 10PM, and after a round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by around 11:30PM. I woke up quite late, by just after 8:30AM, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, 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 in 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 get it down, and the next expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
