I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #970 - First ALIVE Divies Sent (with a Hiccup), Now Delegation Rewards! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, March 24, 2025

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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Some of you might have noticed that you received the first round of dividend payouts for your held and/or staked ALIVE yesterday, though if you've been reading my updates, you may also have noticed that one token was missing from the payouts, LOLZ. Presently we're not certain exactly why all the other tokens were sent successfully, but LOLZ was skipped by the script for some reason, especially considering that in the test runs everything worked fine. Bjorn has enabled more extensive logging to be saved for review for the next upcoming payout, so hopefully we'll be able to resolve this minor hiccup quickly.

Now with the daily ALIVE-dividend payouts mostly up and running, we're giving more focus to getting the weekly rewards for AP and HP delegations to our community accounts rolling again. The present payout script has to be modified a small bit to work with our present setup and conditions, which may hold things up a little bit, so it may be some time next week that we'll be able to start testing. Once testing is successfully completed, the weekly rewards for AP and HP delegations will be activated.

When these two payout systems, daily dividends for held and staked ALIVE, and weekly reward payouts for AP and HP delegations, are fully up and running smoothly, a main focus in my asset management will be to continue growing our income in all the present payout assets, and to generate and stack a good array of other useful and valuable tokens, to add into the payouts over time. I'm constantly increasing our delegations to @bee.voter, @pob.voter, and the many LOLZ curation accounts, as well as growing our stake in various excellent diesel/liquidity pools, so both the variety and the quantities of important assets is always increasing, which opens up ever more possibilities.

With delegation payouts, the amount sent each week may indeed vary widely, since we're working with a set amount of ALIVE and HIVE to allocate, so if we receive very large delegations, or if those large delegations are removed, then the amounts of ALIVE and HIVE sent out could drop or jump quite notably from one week to the next. I'll do what I can for that not to be the case, but it may be unavoidable at times.

While the ALIVE-dividend payouts are still very modest at the moment, they won't remain that way for very long, because I've become quite good at leveraging and growing assets in my time on Hive, and I intend to give as much benefit and value as possible to our community. Think of the present ALIVE-dividend payouts like the gentle sprinkle of rain that is the prelude to a torrential rainstorm. In every way, we want to make the We Are Alive Tribe one of the most exceptional communities on the Blockchain, and we'll be working toward that goal every day.

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, a little before 2:30PM, focusing as I almost always do first, on photography for these posts. Once I had gotten a nice batch of shots, I sunbathed on the trampoline in the Peanut Lawn for a short while, then I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With cow food done, I took a shower, and a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, before transporting another wheelbarrow full of plants salvaged from my derilict nursery, across the property, to my newly-reclaimed nursery behind the Landing. After wrapping that up, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the Landing fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to get an early start on my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had to pause that for about an hour and a half to attend the Monday logistics meeting. As soon as that ended, I headed to the Landing to make myself some food (a simple grilled cheese on sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and mixed honey and horseradish mustards), and then immediately back to the Flow House to get back to my Hive notifications. I had a lot of them last night, and with the hour and a half lost at the meeting, I wasn't able to get fully caught up before I had to make myself stop by 11:45PM, to do some quick asset management, and then to go to bed by around 12:15AM. I woke up just before 7AM, after having slept well, doing more asset management, starting in this post, then getting out of bed around 7:30AM to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just before 1:30PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to first jump into some photography for these posts, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation of this post! 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
