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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy HPUD! While I got a bit of a late start is morning, I made sure to power up my 85+ HIVE for the March HPUD, and of course to write and publish a post about it, March HPUD - Hive Power Up Day - 85+ HIVE Powered Up!. This powerup took me to 17,058+ Hive Power, which being Sunday, means that I'll easily exceed 17,100 HP before the end of this coming week. I gained over 501 HP from last month's HPUD powerup to this one, so the pace is certainly picking up a bit.

If the rate of my HP growth stayed the same (which it won't, it will keep rising), then I'd gain about 5,010 HP over the rest of the year. That's not quite enough to reach my 2026 year-end goal of 25,000 HP, being short by about 3,000 HP, but with how quickly the rate of my HP growth is increasing, I'm not so sure about that, and we shall indeed have to see. It may need a little boost.

Without receiving HBD from post rewards now, it's looking like I'm definitely going to have to boost my HBD in savings to successfully achieve my year-end goal for that investment, as I'd be under by almost 57 HBD. Withdrawing HBD from the Pepe Game is what allowed me to reach my 2025 year-end goal for HBD in savings, and that may indeed be how I do it this year as well, though that depends on the viability of using HBD like this in the game moving forward, which is still being decided.

I really wish that I had gotten an earlier start this morning, since I already had two posts to write, and my own asset management to do, along with my assorted Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks to complete, and most significantly, my once-weekly thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe, so quite a lot to fit into only a few hours, I must say. Although it takes me a while, I really do look forward to going through the assets on all of our community accounts, and allocating them to leveraging greater growth.

Over the past week I got into, or in some cases back into, a bunch of new diesel/liquidity pools on my account, and on @aliveandthriving and @heartbeatvault01, and in the process of testing, I found some additional quite good ones, like BEED:SWAP.HBD, SWAP.BLURT:BEED, BEE:SWAP.LTC, and SWAP.HBD:PEPE (re-added). There are also a few super-interesting pools, like the one that I mentioned yesterday, HSBIDAO:LBI, into which I'd like to seed and begin growing liquidity very soon indeed. While Hive's economic waters may be pretty rough at the moment, there are still many excellent ways to invest and leverage assets.

Yesterday, Saturday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I harvested a ripe banana rack, chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar (and tidied up the area a bit), along with delivering an additional longer ethernet cable to Halai Hapai. With those tasks completed, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, before heading to a meeting in the new kitchen about how best to organize the space. That took about an hour, and once we finally wrapped it up, I turned on the generator (lots of clouds), made myself some food (an exceedingly-satisfying grilled-cheese and smoked-salmon sandwich, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with spicy smoked salmon, pepperjack cheese, smoked hot sauce, and some Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I returned to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done very early indeed, by about 8:30PM, and after some asset management, and perusing Qortal and X, I went to bed by 11PM. I woke up around 4:30AM, and unable to sleep, I gained a new level on Dungeon Cities, before making another partially-successful attempt at sleep. I woke up again very late (hence my late start this morning), by about 9:15AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, returning to the Flow House to power up my HIVE, and write and pubish a post about it, then beginning on this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so it's a marvelous time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my goodly number of Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on a few small jungle-community tasks. 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.
