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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
The next, and last, round of interest for my HBD in Savings will be claimed this evening, and with that will come the achievement of the last of my 3 primary 2025 Hive Goals, 600 HBD in Savings. Upon claiming my interest, and reaching my goal, I will initiate the 3-day withdrawal for the whole amount, which will be somewhere around 602 HBD, and once unstaked, I'll swap it for HIVE using the internal market, to save for my January HPUD mega-powerup. I'll also have another 2 HBD that I'll be able to withdraw from the Pepe Game in a few more days, so my the total approximate amount that I'll be swapping for HIVE on my own account will be about 604 HBD.
With the fiat-dollar price of HIVE continuing to fall, every time I check how much HIVE I'd receive for my HBD, the amount keeps increasing, and surprisingly quickly. As of this morning, with the present prices, my 604+ HBD would net me 6,672+ HIVE. If this trend continues, then by the time my HBD unstakes in 3 days, I'll may indeed end up with around 7,000+ HIVE. Talk about a nice powerup!
For the 80ish HBD in Savings on @aliveandthriving, which will be a nice Christmas boost for the year to our daily ALIVE dividends, and to our weekly payouts to HP delegators, the present prices would give us 889+ HIVE. I still have another 4 days to wait to claim the last round of interest on @aliveandthriving, and then another 3 days to wait for the HBD to unstake, so by the time I actually swap our 80 HBD for HIVE, we may come out with 950-1,000 HIVE, which spread out across 52 weeks, would give us an extra 18-19 HIVE to distribute every week in the ALIVE dividends, and in the payouts to our HP delegators, which is in addition to our present 21/21 HIVE sent weekly for each, so 9-9.5 HIVE extra to both every week. That would be 30-30.5 HIVE in total allocated weekly for the ALIVE dividends, and to pay our HP delegators. We'll see what the final numbers end up being. They may be higher!
With the falling fiat price of HIVE, the rising Hive Debt, and all the other challenges that Hive presently faces, there may come a time soon when only the most all-in-for-the-long-haul diehards like myself remain active on Hive, so I want to do my absolute best to make it as worth the while of doing so, for everyone who's a part of the We Are Alive Tribe, as I'm able. We are moving into stormy Hive seas, and I intend to make our 'We Are Alive Tribe' ship as shipshape as I possibly can.
For my own account, a mega-boost of 7,000+ HIVE would take me into the range of 22,100+ Hive Power, which would help out a whole lot, especially now that I'm so overextended in terms of HP delegations, both from direct delegations, and more notably HP leases. This would definitely balance things out to a good degree, while still giving me a bit more to allocate to the exceedingly-useful HP leases, which would allow me to continue investing, leveraging, and growing assets in layer 2, especially in diesel/liquidity pools. I'm going to miss growing HBD in Savings, that's true, but I'm ready to move forward with new plans and new goals, as I just keep adapting, improvising, and overcoming as I go.
Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finish up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 1:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that completed to my satisfaction, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I went to chop and dump bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and to tidy up the area a bit. With that task done, I got my machete and I went hunting around the property for harvestable bananas (I didn't find any). After one more short break, I got my machete again, and I did more clearing along the second driveway. Upon ending work for the day, I took a shower, made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned mini beef patties, pepperjack cheese, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough), 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 little after 9PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by around 10:30PM. I woke up just after 7AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1PM, so it's a great 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 some 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
