I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #953 - Alive Tribe Outpost Back Online, and ALIVE Daily Dividends Next! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Friday, March 7, 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 5 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'm happy to announce that the We Are Alive Tribe outpost is back up and running at https://www.wearealivetribe.com, thanks to Bjorn's (@borniet) deeply appreciated efforts. Our community outpost was down for a fair while, since 2/13/25, due to the domain name expiring, and a few balls being dropped during the leadership transition, but thankfully everything has finally been sorted out, and it's now live once again, very thankfully.

Due to a small redirect issue (that's being addressed now) it's presently necessary to type in the www. before wearealivetribe.com, which will then redirect to wearealivetribe.com, because if the www. is omitted, the site won't load. Soon either versions will work to open the community outpost.

Now that our We Are Alive Tribe outpost is back online, the next item on our list is to finally get the daily dividend payouts for held and staked ALIVE rolling again. Since Bjorn has the script basically done, tested, and ready, the actual implementation of it shouldn't take much longer at all. As I've mentioned before, we'll be starting with distributing tokens of which we have large liquid holdings, like BBH, LOLZ, PEPE, and of course ALIVE. As I grow sufficient quantities of other useful and valuable assets, those will be added to the payout distribution over time as well.

The daily reward payouts for the ALIVE:ALIVEM pool expire tomorrow, and presently we don't have plans or assets to renew them, though that will indeed be a possiblility moving forward. Since most of our BEE is delegated to @bee.voter to help grow the Hive Power on our most active community accounts, like @alive.chat and @aliveandthriving, that's unavailable for the pool, so the only other assets that we'd have to add would be the above-mentioned tokens for ALIVE dividend payouts, which we may do, but not just yet. I want to see how the ALIVE dividend payouts affect our growth and holdings in those tokens before considering their allocation for the pool.

Leadership and ownership of the We Are Alive Tribe was transferred a little over two months ago, and I'd say that we've done pretty well in the time that we've had at bringing our community back to life, and restoring its various components to functionality, though of course there is still much to do. Our job is not simply fixing and restoring previous Alive Tribe functioning, but also implementing some entirely new, and very cool features to our community. Honestly, we're just getting started!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, once I had finished up my Hive tasks, a little after 2:30PM, giving my attention first to photography for these posts, which took a bit longer than hoped, since my photo queue had become quite short. Once I finally had that done to my satisfaction, I got my machete and collected a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. Cow food also took longer than I had hoped, and by the time that I finished, it was already quite late, plus I was hungry, so although I had intended to move another batch of plants from my newer, derilict nursery to my original, and recently clean nursery behind the Landing, I opted instead to take a shower and make myself some food (mini spiced and seasoned beef patties, with pepper jack cheese, and mixed honey and horseradish mustards) in the Landing. With that prepared, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand, I returned to the Flow House to get into my evening Hive tasks, and to catch up on my notifications. I had a lot last night, so I wasn't able to get fully caught up before I had to stop a little after 12AM, and after some asset management, I went to bed a little after 12:30AM. I woke up quite late, just before 8:45AM, after having thankfully slept very well, doing more asset management, then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee in the Landing, before heading back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12PM, so a great time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a bit later in the afternoon, to first focus on photography for these posts and for my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry for the Reflection Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next version of this post 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
