I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1214 - 14,700 HP Surpassed, Hive Debt Is at 17.94%, and My Plan for HBD - Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, November 23, 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'll start with the good news first, to begin this post on a good note. I crossed the threshold of 14,700 Hive Power early yesterday afternoon, on Sunday, which means that I'm now gaining more than 100 HP per week. With this cadence, it's a given that I'll blow past 14,800 Hive Power before the end of the week. This also means that I should easily achieve my 2025 goal of 15,000 HP before mid December. I'm also in the home stretch for my 2025 goal for HBD in Savings, with the probability of reaching it now being very high. Even though I may indeed be withdrawing my HBD from Savings just after the next interest claim, I'm still working to reach my 2025 goal for HBD in Savings before I do so. My next interest claim is in 24 days, and I'm praying that HBD holds its peg until then.

In my post yesterday, I mentioned that the Hive Debt was at 13%, and that it was rising quickly, along with the HIVE inflation rate, but holy jumping fuckmuffins, I had no idea just how rapidly that it is going up! When I checked this morning, it had leaped up to 17.93%, and when I just checked it again a little more then an hour later, it had already increased to 17.94%. To say this is not good is an understatement. If it reaches 30%, all the unpleasant things that I talked about in my post yesterday would begin to unfold.

With how rapidly the Hive Debt is rising, and how quickly the HIVE price is falling, withdrawing my HBD from Savings to convert into HIVE to power up, is clearly becoming the best option. HBD just has to hold its peg until the middle of December. All fingers and toes crossed on that one.

At the present price of HIVE, after withdrawing and converting my HBD to HIVE, I'd have close to 6,000 HIVE, which when powered up would take me well past 20,000 Hive Power. That's another positive in all this, thankfully. Since HBD is basically a HIVE IOU, converting it all to HIVE seems quite fitting indeed.

The middle of December is shaping up to be quite significant for me, both in the achieving of my 2025 goals for HP and HBD in Savings, and because my last HBD-interest claim will be during that time, which means that if all goes well, and HBD holds its peg, I'll have 6,000+ HIVE to power up for the January HPUD, so I'll be exceeding 20,000 Hive Power by that point. I just checked all our community accounts, and two were at a good place in their interest claims to begin withdrawing their HBD from Savings, which I did. Three others have their next interest claims near the end of November and the end of December. I'll keep an eye on those, so that I'm ready to withdraw the HBD right after their next interest claims. We're going to have some very nice powerups it would seem.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, and doing all my weekly 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset management, quite late indeed, a little after 3:30PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that completed, I felt inspired to make a batch of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn in the Landing, which was a tasty snack. Aside from a few small tasks, I mostly just relaxed on Sunday, which felt very good indeed. After collecting some food supplies from Tutu's for the Landing, I heated up some leftover food that I had in the fridge, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), 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 around 11PM. I woke up quite late, just before 7:30AM, 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 182nd Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: On Track to Achieve All 3 Main 2025 Hive Goals, and Adaptation in the Midst of Challenging Hive Times, then to start on this post. It's now just before 1PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap this up, so that I may get 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
