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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
My HPUD powerup yesterday took me nicely past 17,000 Hive Power, and as I mentioned in my My 196th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 17,000 HP Surpassed, and a Few New Pools Added, that I just finished writing and publishing, I will easily blow past 17,100 HP by around the middle of this new week. I'm gaining more than 100 HP per week now, and the whole process continues to speed up the more HP that I have. Soon it will be many hundreds, and then thousands, of HP gained each week.
The deeper that I've gone into investing, leveraging, and growing assets on my own account, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that I've been paying attention to the details about each asset, the more that I've noticed just how much diversity there is in how different layer-2 tokens are distributed in curation and post rewards. It's really quite astounding.
This was hit home from my endeavors on @heartbeatvault01, where I'm working to bootstrap income streams in numerous layer-2 tokens, both from diesel/liquidity pools, and from curation rewards. Curation rewards for some tokens arrive in totally liquid form, others come in only staked form, while others are received in an even split between liquid and staked. To make it even more interesting, some tokens need to be staked first, before they can begin earning curation rewards, while others are auto-staked upon receiving them, so no manual staking is required. Some tokens, like our ALIVE, needs to be staked first, and its curation rewards, which are distributed via daily SCOT rewards, arrive in completely liquid form, so they need to be staked to continue growing the staked amount.
For my asset-leveraging endeavors in abundant and diverse diesel/liquidity pools, I've come to really appreciate the tokens that distribute half of their curation and post rewards in liquid form, and half in auto-staked form, because it allows me to grow them both in the pools, and in staked form, much more easily and quickly. Tokens that arrive in completely liquid or staked form present more of a challenge to do the same.
On @heartbeatvault01, there are certain tokens that I need for assorted pools, like BEE, SPORTS, MEME, FUN, LOLZ, PIMP, that I realized that I needed to stake before they would begin earning curation rewards. Since staking even small amounts of these and certain other tokens starts a snowball process that will grow the stake automatically, not much is needed to get things rolling. This will also add these tokens to the rewards that people receive from that account's upvotes, of which the quantities will continue to increase over time, so it will provide even greater benefit as time progresses. I keep learning, experimenting, adjusting, tweaking, and refining as I go, which makes how I do my asset-leveraging magic increasingly efficient and effective.
Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up all of my assorted Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just before 4PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, after which I assisted Soozi and Braja with a few small needed choors. Once I was done helping them, I prepared another batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn in the new kitchen, pausing to go turn on the generator (due to lots of clouds), and after nibbling on that a bit, and saving some for later, I made myself the second iteration of the glorious spicy smoked-salmon grilled cheese that I made yesterday, 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 had to pause that for an hour to troubleshoot and resolve an internet-outage issue (my router may have failed, so it switched back to using the StarLink router directly), which I was very thankfully able to do. After that 'excitement', I got everything on Hive done by just before 11PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by about 11:45PM. I woke up just after 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, and then to begin writing 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, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on some photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
