I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1184 - 14,200 HP Surpassed, and Some Early Alive Tribe Asset Management - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, October 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I crossed the threshold of 14,200 Hive Power yesterday afternoon, right on schedule to when I was expecting it, with now 895.4 HP to go on my quest for 15,000 Hive Power by the middle of December. Now to see if I'll be able to reach 14,300 HP before the end of the next week, to continue my 100-HIVE-per-week streak that's been going for 3 weeks now.

While I usually do most of my asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe on Sunday, I decided to do it this morning instead, since I had some spare time. I've been investing and leveraging our assets since about the middle of December last year, and although things could always grow more quickly, I've been able to create and grow multiple income streams in that time, which has allowed us to be able to share an increasing diversity and quantity of layer-1 and Layer-2 assets, including now HIVE, with the community. I'm very grateful to be able to generate ever-greater abundance and value for all of you as we move forward together.

I collected all the HIVE that had accumulated on our various community accounts, powering up 20 HIVE on @aliveandthriving, leaving 11 HIVE (10 HIVE to send+1 HIVE precision buffer) on @aliveandsocial for the payouts to HP delegators, and 11 HIVE (10 HIVE to send+1 HIVE precision buffer+lots of surplus HIVE) on @aliveandthriving for the daily ALIVE dividends, which left us with a surplus of 32.745 HIVE on @aliveandthriving. As soon as @borniet finds some time to change the amounts of assets sent in the payout scripts, that surplus will begin to be distributed to all of you in delegation payouts and ALIVE dividends, along with larger amounts ALIVE and the other layer-2 tokens as well.

Some investments give very good leverage, such as our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter, which is what makes sharing HIVE with all of you, in the weekly delegation payouts and daily ALIVE dividends, possible (I still need to create other substantial HIVE income streams, so we're not entirely dependant on one). Other investments, most actually, take time to grow to practically usable levels, and that's what I've been doing over these past many months, with our assets in an increasing number of diesel/liquidity pools continuing to augment, bit by bit, which has also been giving us a daily rain of myriad tokens.

Although I really want to start accepting HP leases with Alive Tribe accounts, to strongly increase our daily SWAP.HIVE investment liquidity, that's not really feasible yet, as all our accounts need a lot more HP first. Since that option isn't on the table at the moment, I'm putting my focus on the second-best source for daily SWAP.HIVE, the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool. After I've finished up with adding all usable assets into diesel/liquidity pools, I've begun to swap half of whatever SWAP.HIVE is left over into PWR, and then I add both into the pool. It will take time, but the benefits in increasing amounts of SWAP.HIVE will make it worth the expenditure and patience.

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, a little after 2:15PM again, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Since the weather wasn't very inspiring for work on the land just yet, I returned to the Flow House for a short while to research a generator that @silvertop had mentioned to me, to explore the possibility of getting one for this off-grid jungle community. With that task successfully completed, I finished up one important step in the wooden-pallet-platform-on-lava project that Chelsea and I are undertaking (I got it done just as it started raining). Once it started raining, and I completed that project for the day, I headed to the Landing to nibble on a little leftover food, and after eating my fill, I collected my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and I made my way back to the Flow House, to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and to catch up on my Hive notifications. I got everything done just by just after 9PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed, super early, at 10:15PM. I woke up around 6AM again, having slept 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 lovely time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on photography for my posts, then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's expression 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
