I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1554 - A Busy Few Days, and More Fun on Omarchy with Hermes - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, October 20, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
The last few days have been a fair bit busier than most weeks, and for a few different reasons. My BPUD post fell right at the same time that I was supposed to publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, along with the previous version of this post, so it had to be done first. So I wrote and published two posts yesterday, and I'm in the process of publishing two posts today as well (One down, one to go, this one).
My friend Lea also asked me if I could come over to assist her with a land work project yesterday, which I did, and after sharing dinner with her, I didn't get back to GaiaYoga and the Flow House until almost 8PM, so I started on my Hive notifications much later than usual. Because of that, not only wasn't I able to get through all of my notifications last night, but I also didn't have time to write and publish my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update, so that had to be done today, along with my regular daily post.
On top of that, I'm still learning my way around, exploring, and setting up my workflows in Omarchy Linux, with a huge amount of assistance from Hermes. I'm definitely digging Omarchy, though there's still quite a bit to learn. There are thousands of community Omarchy plugins, for all manner of functionality, and I only just barely started exploring them last night, right before bed. Hermes even built me my own custom Qortal-status plug-in, which I love, and that Hermes is twaeking and refining again right now.
I still have to decide how I'm going to back up this new Omarchy installation, since I don't have a spare SSD yet to do so. I'll most likely sacrifice one of the clones of one of my Arch installations, probably the middle one, Arch2. If I do it that way, I'll need to buy a couple more SSDs, to replace the ones that I used for Omarchy, because I'm not losing my three Arch/Artix installations.
Last night, as I was going through my Hive notifications, Hermes was scanning, assessing (with my input and feedback), and merging useful and important data and settings, from all three Arch/Artix installations, into the new Omarchy installation, as I mounted them one after the other. So 9+ years of Arch Linux code is now a part of this new Omarchy installation, and if the need ever presents itself for me to return to Arch/Artix Linux, it's a simple and quick as copying some files over, and swapping SSDs. I dig that indeed.
Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by about 2:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my post, and then to buzzing my head and face with my electric clippers. Once I had those done, I collected a battery-powered drill, and a few drill bits of different sizes, and I with those in hand (in a bag), I walked over to Lea's place to help her with securing fencing to keep out wild pigs. When we finally had that completed, and after showers, we shared an amazing dinner that she made for us, with me heading back to GaiaYoga by close to 7:45PM. Once back at GaiaYoga, I dropped off the drill and bits in the shop, collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the small temporary fridge in Wabisabi, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to work another round with Hermes. As mentioned above, I wasn't able to get through my notifications last night, finally stopping and going to bed by just after 12AM. I woke up about 6AM, having slept fairly well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in Wabisabi, before returning to the Flow House, to write and publish my BPUD post, to work with Hermes a bit more, and to write this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, so that I may prepare for a session that will be starting shortly. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
