I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #972 - Alive Tribe Delegation Rewards Start Today, and What's Next? - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, March 26, 2025

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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Thanks to Bjorn's (@borniet) exceptional coding skills, I'm happy to announce that the weekly delegation rewards for AP and HP delegations to Alive Tribe community accounts will be sent out today (2:05PM in my time zone), 5 minutes after UTC 12AM (Friday morning), and if everything goes smoothy, that will be the weekly delegation-reward cadence. We'll be starting with 5 HIVE and 500 ALIVE, which will be adjusted and increased over time, as our own resource base grows.

This is an exciting time for the We Are Alive Tribe, with a good deal of development presently underway, to both restore previous services, and to create entirely new ones, with the intention of bringing our beloved community back to life, and making it more #alive than ever. Given that we've accomplished quite a lot in the three or so months that we've had since the Alive Tribe reboot, it's about time to publish an official update post, to bring the community up to speed and up to date on where we are now, and what we have planned for the future. Now I just need to find some time to do it, since I'm the one who will be writing it.

When we began our new community-leadership roles at the end of December, the only thing still functioning in the Alive Tribe were the daily @aliveandthriving curation posts, which Rosyel (@iamraincrystal), Ben (@benthomaswwd), and I kept going. When you take a look at how things are now, compared to where they were when we started, the contrast is really quite striking, and in a very good way.

Just a quick rundown of what we've implemented since the end of December:

• We got our ALIVE tipping bot, @youarealive, back up and running

• we restarted the @alive.chat community challenges, which are now run by community team members on Mondays, Tuesdays, and Saturdays

• we began weekly payments in ALIVE or ALIVEM for team members who host @alive.chat activities

• we've strongly increased our income in various useful and valuable assets, which continues to grow, via various excellent diesel/liquidity pools and delegations

• we restored our community outpost (after the domain name expired) with a new domain name, wearealivetribe.com

• Ben got the @heartbeatonhive daily curation and contest posts rolling again, and started up with @thelevelupgame, with some script-automation streamlining

• we reinitiated daily dividend payouts for staked, and now also held ALIVE, starting with ALIVE, BBH, LOLZ, and PEPE

• and today we're restarting weekly reward payouts for AP and HP delegated to community accounts

That's not bad for three month's time!

Now on to deciding what will be next on our list of possibilities to restore or implement! Is there anything from the previous iteration of the Alive Tribe that you miss? Is there something that you think is cool from another project or community, that you'd like to see in the Alive Tribe? Let me know, because our intention is to make this community more amazing all the time, together! We've had a good start, now it's time to take the We Are Alive Tribe to the next level!

Yesterday, Wednesday, after finishing up my Hive tasks, I prepared for my session at 1:30PM with Riana, and since I was ahead of schedule, I used my spare time to strain and blend kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, before beginning her session. We started on time, and finished by about 5:30PM. Once Riana left (happy and grateful), I stopped by the Landing to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I made my way back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I got everything done by around 11:15PM, and after some asset management, checking in on Bastyon and Qortal, and a scan of my X feed, I went to bed around 12:30AM. I woke up first just before 5AM, and unable to sleep, I did some asset management, I started on this post, and I did a few other small Hive tasks, before making another unsuccessful attempt at sleep. I finally just got out of bed around 7AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, and then I returned to Flow House to write this post. I had to pause that for a little while to attend the Thursday community heart-share meeting, from which I left early to get back to writing this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so a really good time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to first focus on photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Shadow Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next version of this post tomorrow! Always forward, onward, upward, and whaleward, ho, together we go! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2025 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
