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 seriously can't believe that it's already October, and that we only have just under three months until we usher in 2027. A whole lot of interesting things have happened within the past 3/4 of 2026, and even with the notable challenges that Hive has been facing, I remained determined and focused in my building and growing, and in assisting and supporting the We Are Alive Tribe, and the greater Hive community, and I was thankfully able to make some huge strides in asset growth, especially in terms of my Hive Power, which will reach 37,000 before the end of this month. I'm sad that I had to sacrifice my nice chunk of HBD that was growing in savings to boost my HP so substantially, but it was worth it I think, and the extra HP has definitely come in handy.

The two most notable new and amazing things that came into my awareness in 2026, and that became primary components of my daily flow, are without a doubt Hermes Agent and Satsman. Both of them have been absolute game changers for me in their respective domains, which is exactly why I've been talking about them both so much in my posts over the past few weeks and months.

Hermes Agent, the incredibly flexible, versatile, and constantly-improving open-source AI-agent framework, has been like a genie at my fingertips. With it I've been able to automate assorted tasks in my Arch/Artix Linux installations, as well as some of my regular asset-management tasks for the We Are Alive Tribe, as well as to build and develop useful software in ways that I never imagined. Hermes is seriously badass, and it keeps getting better all the time, with over 3,000 community contributors.

The whole AI and agentic-AI tech space is developing and evolving mindblowingly quickly, and the Hermes Agent team is keeping pace with it extraordinarily well, adding and integrating useful and amazing new contributions and components as quickly as they appear. What that means in practical daily practice is that Hermes is able to do more, and that so much more can be done with it.

Although I did think that it was really cool, I didn't immediately recognize just how fantastic that Satsman really is, until Bradley (@bradleyarrow) signed up under me and almost immediately became a Founder, and then went all in and started signing up other Founders under him. Once I finally 'got it', I paid for my own Founder position, and it's been going extremely well since then. He's already signed up six Founder under him, some of which he's funded himself, and he's been quickly moving into one of the top sats earners on the Satsman Leaderboards. Since he and his Founder crew are all under me, my own sats earnings have continued to grow in leaps and bounds. I'm so grateful that I chose to become a part of Satsman so many months ago, and that I finally made the decision to become a Founder. I'm also super grateful that Bradley signed up under me too, of course!

Yesterday, Thursday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started a bit late, it went very well, and we wrapped it up by around 6:30PM, after which I went to Wabisabi to make myself (and Harmony, to whom I just gave a session) some food, and to collect my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small 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 just before 10:45PM, and after another round of working with Hermes, I went to bed by just after 12AM. I woke up very late, by just after 9AM, having slept well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:45PM, so it's a fantabulous 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
