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 7 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 writing this post quite a bit earlier today because I have a session that needed to be scheduled earlier than usual as well, so I've got to get this post, and some asset management, done beforehand, though the asset management is not super essential, and could be left until later this evening, if I run out of time. I have my daily and weekly schedule organized around my Hive tasks, though sometimes I need to tweak it a bit, like today.
Since we only have a week and a half left in 2025, it's quickly approaching the time when I'll need to decide on what my 2026 Hive Goals will be. Given that I won't be actively tracking Reputation any longer, and that I'm withdrawing all my HBD from Savings to swap for HIVE to power up, those two primary goals for 2025 will not be among my 2026 goals. So what else will I choose, aside from the obvious Hive Power? Keeping my goals few and focused worked well this year, with all three of my 2025 Hive Goals having already been achieved, so 3 is a pretty good number with which to work I'd say.
With Reputation and HBD in Savings out, my focus for other 2026 Hive Goals will need to be in layer 2 (Hive Engine's layer 2, though I'll will very likely be diving into Magi/VSC's layer-2 iteration as well, once more of it is online and functional). These new goals could be a certain holding or stake of various tokens, or the number of shares in particular diesel/liquidity pools.
Another idea that I'm also now considering is perhaps to set goals for a specific amount of daily or weekly HIVE and SWAP.HIVE income, given that pretty much everything in which I invest is to increase my income in both of those, so those seem like good options, and ones that I quite like. Keeping track of my SWAP.HIVE income is a bit more challenging than tracking my HIVE income, as there really aren't any tools or interfaces that allow me to do that yet, so it would be have to be a manual, and somewhat generalized process. I'll let this idea percolate for a few days, but Hive Power, HIVE income, and SWAP.HIVE income may indeed end up being my three 2026 Hive Goals. We shall see.
I have a day and a half to go until my HBD in Savings unstakes, so I'll likely be swapping it for HIVE some time on Monday. Then I'm going to have a whole lot of liquid HIVE sitting, and still growing, on my account until the January HPUD arrives. The last round of interest for the HBD in Savings on @aliveandthriving will be claimed in 2 days, and then we have the 3-day unstaking period to wait, before I swap it for HIVE, to then allocate to the daily ALIVE dividends, and the payouts to HP delegators, over the next year. I'm focused on growing the daily and weekly HIVE and SWAP.HIVE incomes on both my account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, with some of my own SWAP.HIVE income being contributed/donated daily to help accelerate the process (31 SWAP.HIVE to date, so just over a month of contributing/donating). I'm determined to strongly increase my, and our, income in both of these assets in 2026, from which we will all reap the benefits.
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first on some photography for my posts (though the sun, or lack thereof, did not make the process easy). With that mostly completed, I got a few small tasks done, before feeling motivated go make another batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn in the Landing. After making and nibbling on my yummy popcorn, I sharpened my machete, then I did some clearing at various spots on the property. With that finally completed, I took a shower, made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, amaranth leaves, longevity spinach leaves, Brazilian fireweed leaves, olive oil, and sea salt) in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by a bit after 10PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by 11PM. I woke up around 6:30AM, having slept well, going to turn on the generator (since the solar-electrical system crashed during the night), making my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 10:15AM, so it's a fantastic time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled as early as I'm able to do it (probably 12PM). I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's iteration of these posts! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
