I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1266 - A Review of Beneficiary Rewards for 2 'We Are Alive Tribe' Community Accounts - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Wednesday, January 14, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

As I've been mentioning in recent posts, as a part of my greater and more direct investment into the We Are Alive Tribe, to build and grow our decentralized community economy and financial infrastructure, and aside from continuing to send 1 SWAP.HIVE daily to @aliveandthriving for that purpose as well, that I've been setting @aliveandthriving as a 5% beneficiary on all of my posts, to help speed along my endeavors. This is in addition to the 1% beneficiary that I set for our main community account, @hive-155221, for all posts published in the 'We Are Alive Tribe' Community. Today, I wanted to give y'all an idea of how this has been working.

Thanks to a very useful new tool by the Aliento community, Hive Beneficiary Rewards, it's now quite easy to check the amount of received beneficiary rewards for any Hive account. The tool only shows beneficiary rewards from 1 day, 7 days, or 30 days, so it doesn't appear to display cumulative sums, though it would be really cool if it did that too.

Beneficiary Rewards for @hive-155221 and @aliveandthriving over the past 30 days

@hive-155221

Total HBD received:
0.080 HBD

Total Hive Power received:
4.221 HP

Total Fiat-Dollar Value:
$0.53 USD

@aliveandthriving

Total HBD received 
1.871 HBD

Total Hive Power received 
35.072 HP

Total Value
$5.51 USD

Payouts
166

One other useful feature that I wish this tool had was the ability to see which accounts have set a particular account as a beneficiary, and by what percentage. While it doesn't show that, it does seem to show how many accounts have set these two community accounts as beneficiaries for each payout. All of us who post in the We Are Alive Tribe Community are contributing to these numbers for our main community account, @hive-155221, while I, and apparently a few others too thankfully, have contributed to the numbers for @aliveandthriving.

The Hive Power gained by these two 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts from beneficiary rewards directly benefits the community with increasingly helpful upvotes from curation, while the HBD gets staked to Savings on @aliveandthriving, to fund next year's round of increased HIVE payouts in our ALIVE dividends. Every contribution by our members to the We Are Alive Tribe is used to give back to all of you in ever greater ways over time. That's why I call it an investment, because we're investing in the future success of the We Are Alive Tribe and our ALIVE token, which is good for all of us.

If any of you feel inspired to contribute more deeply to the growth and success of the We Are Alive Tribe, I would humbly ask that you set @aliveandthriving, @alive.chat, or @heartbeatonhive as a beneficiaries on all, or even some of your posts. It doesn't have to be much, a few percent, as small percentages add up very well over time. Bit by bit, and step by step, we're going to turn the We Are Alive Tribe into a financial and ecomomic powerhouse, and a force for good, on the Blockchain, and we're going to do it together.

Yesterday, Wednesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM. The session that was scheduled had to be rescheduled for the coming week, so I focused on community/land work as soon as I had a round of photography for my posts completed. After photography, I spent over 3 hours helping to unload and distribute an entire truck full of goat manure to various points on the property. Toward the end, that had to be paused to go assist with moving a very heavy granite countertop and an equally heavy large glass tabletop, a short distance (that felt very long indeed...lol!) into the new kitchen area that's being constructed behind the shop. Once I finished with that, I went to wrap up my previous project for the day, and to take a nice hot shower, after which I made myself some food (mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burgers, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard), and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, I headed back to the Flow House, to start my evening Hive tasks. I got everything done by just after 11PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed around 11:15PM. I woke up just after 7AM, having slept reasonably well, 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 after 1PM, so it's a very good time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's version 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
