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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

It's now a given that I will smash both of my two remaining 2025 Hive Goals, for Hive Power and HBD in Savings, by or before the middle of December. I'm presently only about 30 HP away from from achieving my year-end goal of 15,000 Hive Power, and between the HBD that I've been withdrawing from the Pepe Game every 10 days, and the last round of Savings interest that I'll be claiming on the 17th, 600 HBD in Savings is in the bag as well.

My 600 HBD won't stay in Savings long, however, because it will all be withdrawn as soon as I claim the next round of interest, swapped for HIVE, and powered up on the January HPUD, which will catapult me from 15,000+ HP to around 21,000 Hive Power. My January HPUD powerup will be the largest of my three mega-powerups to date, and by more than double.

The boost of 5,600+ HP will be very welcomed indeed, as I'm presently hugely overextended in terms of my HP delegations, between direct delegations, and HP leases, so it will be very good indeed to balance things out a bit more. I'd also like more for HP leases, since that has become my primary means of investing in significant layer-2 tokens and diesel/liquidity pools, both for myself, and for the We Are Alive Tribe. Even at 21,000 HP, I'd still have over 40,000 HP to go to reach Orca Level, over three times what I'll have by the January HPUD, but at least the rapidity of getting there will receive a strong boost.

Since making my switch from BXT to the DAB-DBOND-RUG trio a few weeks ago, I've had some time to observe and assess these assets, and overall I'm happy with how my holding and stake of both DBOND and DAB are growing, and the slowly-increasing daily HIVE payouts that I'm receiving. The payout scripts that are being used do fail rather often, but back payment are always made up. I recommended @borniet's payout scripts, as they've been working great since their rewrite.

Although my daily HIVE payouts from my liquid DAB are nowhere near what I was receiving from my staked BXT as of yet, I now receive more HIVE per week from my liquid DAB than I do my staked DUO, which is quite significant, and since my holding and stake of DBOND and DAB are always growing, due to the synergy between the DAB-DBOND-RUG trio, and fairly quickly, my daily HIVE payouts will also rise ever more quickly as well, and I won't have to do anything to make it happen. I very much like that, and it's one of the reasons that I chose to switch to DAB-DBOND-RUG, both for myself, and for the We Are Alive Tribe, as they're valuable assets that grow themselves (except for RUG, that has to be bought off the market). I'm shooting to reach the level of @davidthompson57's huge holding and stake of DAB-DBOND-RUG, and his daily HIVE payouts! Little by little, I'll get there!

Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, quite late due to lots of rain, by around 2:30PM, giving my attention to some very carefully-executed rainy-day photography for my posts. Since I had zero inspiration or motivation to work outside in the rain, I focused on a few small indoor chores instead. I did intend to do more weeding along the Flow-House trail, when it wasn't raining, which I did do, though it turned into a big, unexpected can of worms, in which I went beast mode for over an hour. When I was finally done, the whole area looked so much better, and since I was covered in dirt from my very-involved weeding job, I took a shower (very thankfully hot!), then I made myself some food (spiced-and-seasoned ground beef, eggs, onions, tomatoes, amaranth leaves, longevity spinach leaves, Brazilian fireweed leaves, pepperjack cheese, olive oil, and sea salt) in the Landing, 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-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. I got everything done quite early, by around 8:30PM, which is when I had the inspiration to finally update all of my post templates on PeakD, and to mirror them on PeakD beta as a backup, as well as to make my cover images for my 'Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update' and HPUD posts a bit more aesthetically pleasing, which was very satisfying, as I've been meaning to do so for a while now. After completing that, I did some asset management, then I went to bed by around 11:30PM. I woke up just before 7AM, 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 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, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's incarnation 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
