I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1148 - BPUD Today, 13,700 HP Surpassed, and Possible LOLZ Replacements for ALIVE Divies - Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Thursday, September 18, 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 6 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Happy September BPUD (well, it's not BPUD just yet, but it will be after 2PM my time)! I'm ready for it, with almost 1,000 BBHO to power up at some point this evening. Since I presently have just over 11,900 staked BBHO, my powerup today will take close 13,000 staked BBHO, which is another nice jump on my road to 20,000 staked BBHO.

I forgot to mention it in yesterday's post, but I crossed the threshold of 13,700 Hive Power early yesterday morning, which was a nice way to start the day. I'm not quite gaining 100 HP per week yet, other than during HPUD weeks, but it's getting close. I now have just under 1,300 HP to go to reach my year-end goal of 15,000 Hive Power, which is still substantial, but also quite possible.

With the coming changes to the LOLZ Project, and the impending end of most of our daily LOLZ income, I decided to look over our Alive Tribe assets this morning, to see what we could use to replace LOLZ in our daily ALIVE dividends. So far three tokens are possibilities, GAMER (which when staked, gives claimable HIVE on kryptogamers.com), SWAP.PEPET (PEPE on Polygon), and SWAP.PEPE (PEPE on Etherium), so one leveraging token, and two long-term investment tokens.

I also have the intention to include other tokens in the daily ALIVE dividend payouts as soon as it's feasible. I'm still in the process of building a good income flow in assorted tokens via diesel/liquidity pools, which takes time, but we're already getting some pretty good returns in multiple useful tokens. If I can let our liquid BEE grow enough (it's a valuable asset for diesel/liquidity pools and delegations), then it might be possible to add to the dividend payouts. That's an idea that I'm tossing around.

I'm also thinking that it could be time to up our game a bit more, and add HIVE to the daily dividend payouts. That is feasible now. The only thing about that, however, is it means that the regular HIVE powerups that I do on @aliveandthriving and @alive.chat will just be a bit smaller. So it's a toss up, more HP for our community accounts, which would directly benefit the community, or little bits of HIVE sent directly to everyone daily. Both are useful, so I'd like to hear your thoughts and feelings on the matter, which would you prefer? Perhaps I should create a poll on this.

Yesterday, Thursday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive tasks, just before 1:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that done to my satisfaction, I went to assist with the process of putting up a new tarp over the Octagon, as falling jackfruit created several large holes in the previous one. When my contribution to the project was done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, before heading to the Landing to strain and blend coconut kefir. With that completed, I got my machete and went to do more clearing along the second driveway, after which I took a shower, made and ate some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, spiced-and-seasoned lentils, eggs, onions, tomatoes, katuk leaves, longevity spinach leaves, olive oil, and sea salt) in the Landing, then I headed back to the Flow House, with my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, to begin my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. Although I got close, I wasn't able to get through all of my notifications before I had to stop just after 10PM, to do more asset management, and then to go to bed around 10:45PM. I woke up around 6AM again, having slept fairly 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 before 10:45AM, so it's quite an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my BPUD post later this evening, and the next edition of these posts 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
