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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I'm happy to announce that I completed the inventory and assessment of the 14 Alive Tribe accounts this morning, and that with the assets that we presently have available, we'll be able to generate some excellent income and growth over the next few months. While I have much more to do, I've already begun to allocate, reallocate, adjust, tweak, and refine how the assets of the various Alive Tribe accounts are utilized. Even with the few changes that I've made already, we should have some nice HIVE income in a week, which can then be used to boost the HP on various Alive Tribe accounts.

I have so much excitement bubbling up about where we are with the We Are Alive Tribe right now, and where we have the potential to go in the future. Now that I'm finally diving into what we have in terms of assets, and how we can best use them, my mind is going to work on putting this grand puzzle together, a few pieces at a time. As I go, I'll be working to create as much daily and weekly income of HIVE, SWAP.HIVE, HBD, and various important and useful layer-2 tokens, so as to make the Alive Tribe as self-sufficient and self-sustaining as possible.

One thing that still needs to be done is to more clearly elucidate and designate the purpose of each Alive Tribe account, and then reallocate resources accordingly. That will come soon, as I get a more fine-tuned feel for the flow of what we're doing now, and what we need to do as we move forward.

We have sizeable holdings and stake in BEE, LOLZ, and of course ALIVE. Erik had quite an efficient system for generating BEE, which I had to partially dismantle to create a solid weekly HIVE income, as for the moment at least, HIVE is more needed. From selling the AWESOME on @aliveandthriving, added to what we already had, we now have about 100 SWAP.HIVE to use for the purchase of solid income tokens, and to add to various diesel/liquidity pools, which will further increase our daily and weekly income in numerous assets.

We're on a very good track in our endeavor to bring the Alive Tribe back to life, and with the addition of Bjorn (@borniet) and Nathalie (@nathalie-s) to the core leadership team, everything is coming together even more. We have a solid team that is of the same mindset and intentions, which is very rare, which means that we work quite effectively and efficiently with each other, and that we will be able to accomplish a lot over time. This is going to be fun indeed!

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing my Hive tasks, around 1:30PM, with my focus going first to collecting a wheelbarrow of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. I did that first because, unexpectedly, Riana was able to come over to give me my session (even after being rescheduled for the next week) , as a part of our bodywork trade. I haven't received almost any in-depth body or energy work in many years, even though I give sessions all the time. We started later in the day than usual, but it was a good session regardless, for which I was very grateful. After the session, and after Riana left, I went to the Landing to get my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and then I headed straight back to the Flow House, it get into my evening round of Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. I had a lot, including the backlog from the night before, and even after working at it for several hours, I was still not able to get fully caught up, again. I finally had to stop to write and publish My Entry for Shadow Hunters Community Contest/Show Me a Shadow: Round 355 - Betel Vine Shadows, and then after a little token management, go to bed, way too late, at 12:45AM. I work up about 7:30AM, still feeling that I needed more sleep, doing more token management, starting on this post, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. Once milking was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:30PM, so quite and excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House later in the afternoon, to first do some photography for these posts, and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next version of this post tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
