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 happy to announce that thanks to Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk), and another 250 HIVE that he sent me last night, which I swapped to layer 2, I was able to strongly boost both our HIVE and SWAP.HIVE incomes on @aliveandthriving. It was only a few days ago that Ben sent me 500 HIVE, which I used for the same purpose, and holy moly did it speed up the process of building and growing our 'We Are Alive Tribe' economy and financial infrastructure! Now with another 250 HIVE last night on top of that, we've notably improved our financial base.
So in a period of just a couple days, with the huge help of Ben's hefty contributions/donations, I've been able to grow our HIVE income from our liquid DAB from 0.004 HIVE, to 0.075 HIVE, and after last night to 0.136 HIVE (mostly) daily! On the SWAP.HIVE side of things, from the two big boosts from Ben's investments, and another 1 SWAP.HIVE from me this morning, our liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool has gone from 0.185 SWAP.HIVE, to 0.329 SWAP.HIVE, and now to 0.402 SWAP.HIVE every day, which is another excellent boost indeed! These numbers are just the beginning, my friends!
I've been a very buzzy bee over the last week, and especially yesterday, in both my 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset management, and in the growing contact, communication, and collaboration with multiple newly allied people and projects. I sent the prizes (ALIVE, ALIVEM, and BBH) for comment and raffle winners in the newly rebranded and relaunched Slothly Savers Club, to the new @slothlysavers account, so they're ready to go for Thursday.
After a good talk with @fjworld yesterday about his new TOOFUCKEH:SWAP.HIVE pool, we collaborated on a community token exchange between his project and our community, of TOOFUCKEH for ALIVE, so that he could add our token into his pool's liquidity rewards. Most of the 20,000 TOOFUCKEH that he sent to @aliveandthriving was staked, with a little over 5,000 being kept liquid, and 1,000 ALIVE will now be distributed in his pool over the next year (actually slightly less). I'll be adding liquidity to his new pool, both on my account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe on @aliveandthriving, as available resources allow.
I don't know if you can feel it, my friends, but there's an energy and momentum building in and around the We Are Alive Tribe, and our ALIVE token as of late, that definitely seems to be growing quite quickly. This is incredibly exciting, and so gloriously good to see, and guess what, it's only the beginning of the year, and we're just barely getting started! The best is yet to come!
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and my once-weekly thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, very late indeed, by a little after 4PM (I had a lot to do...lol!), giving some attention to photography for my posts, though thankfully I had already taken several lovely shots in the morning. After photography, I got a few community tasks done, mostly helping other people, along with cleaning up and dumping bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar. Once I had completed my few tasks for the day, I made and enjoyed some food in the Landing, and after eating my fill, I collected my jar of leffover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and I headed back to the Flow House, to start my evening Hive tasks. I had a whole lot of notifications again last night, so many that I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop a bit after 11PM, to do some asset management, including allocating Ben's community investment, and then going to bed a little after 11:45PM. I woke up a bit after 7AM, having slept reasonably well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 189th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 16,200 HP Surpassed, and 2026 Hive Goals Set!, and then to begin writing this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get 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 photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
