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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Although it was looking like I was going to come up a little short on reaching 15,000 HP before the end of the week, the payout from my HPUD post came to the rescue and took me over the threshold of 15K Hive Power yesterday evening, much to my happy surprise. Now 2 of my 3 primary 2025 Hive Goals have been achieved, and the last one, for HBD in Savings, will be reached and exceeded by December 18th, which is when I claim my last round of Savings interest before withdrawing it all, swapping it for HIVE, and then powering up the resulting 5.6K+ HIVE on the January HPUD. So while I still have one primary year-end goal to achieve, it's a done deal at this point!

After my thorough round of asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe yesterday afternoon, and investing the 100 SWAP.HIVE that Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) sent me, our 'We Are Alive Tribe' financial infrastructure, and our income streams, received a very nice boost indeed. I split the 100 SWAP.HIVE evenly between acquiring more DBOND and RUG, and strongly increasing our liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, to grow both our HIVE and SWAP.HIVE incomes.

While the effects of the DBOND and RUG that I acquired will take time to come to fruition, with the quanties that we have now, our liquid DAB, which gives daily HIVE payouts, should grow fairly quickly. I'll also continue acquiring as much DAB, DBOND, and RUG as I'm able, as resources allow.

The daily rain of assorted useful and valuable tokens that we now receive from a myriad of pools is reaching a respectable level, and it's even beginning to rival what I receive on my own account, which is very satisfying to see. I've still got a long way to go, but I've made notable progress over the last year, and especially within the last few weeks.

Our 'We Are Alive Tribe' Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine, which is how we're able to share and distribute useful and valuable assets with all of you in the community, is indeed coming together more and more every day, and it's making the ongoing building and growing of our financial infrastructure easier and more rapid as we go, so things are certainly speeding up! Both Ben and I will continue to invest our own assets into creating a solid financial base for the We Are Alive Tribe, so that we may all increasingly benefit and thrive over time.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and after my thorough 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset management and investments, by a little after 3PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts first, after which I got a few small chores done, I made another batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn in the Landing, I nibbled on that a bit, and I heated myself up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and with my food and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done by just before 9PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed by about 11:30PM. I woke up just before 6AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, returning to the Flow House to write and publish My 184th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: My 2025 Goal of 15,000 HP Smashed, with My Last Primary Year-End Hive Goal to Be Achieved by December 18th! post, and finally to begin writing this post. It's now just before 12:45PM, so it's a fantastic 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 iteration 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
