I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1229 - I'm Now Managing Diesel/Liquidity Pools Across 3 Accounts - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, December 8, 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! 😁🙏💚⚡💥🔥✴️✳️❇️👣🌱✨🤙

My passion for diesel/liquidity pools, and using them as an effective means to both grow assets over time, and to create synergistic systems of abundant layer-2 income streams, has grown immensely in the last year, and that's really saying something, because I've always been very much into them. The increase in my interest and fascination with them came when I started managing the assets for the We Are Alive Tribe, since I was able to put what I'd learned from multiple years of experience with a kaleidoscope of pools, into practical application and practice for the benefit and good of our community. That gave me a great deal of inspiration and motivation to do the best job that I could, because my choices can, and do, notably benefit us all.

I began using @aliveandthriving as the main focus for my 'We Are Alive Tribe' asset management, so it's also on that account where I've been adding and growing our liquidity in a good array of pools over the last year, and to very good effect, as we now have a steady rain of useful and valuable token assets on a daily basis, some of which are useful on their own, while others are useful when added to certain pools. There are several great pools in which I'd like to add liquidity, but I have to grow our income streams from some pools for particular tokens before bringing these other excellent pools online as well, so things are being done in steps and stages.

For most of the past year I've only been regularly managing liquidity pools on @aliveandthriving, from assets collected on a weekly basis from our multitude of 'We Are Alive Tribe' accounts. That brings me to Ben's @heartbeatonhive, which because he runs his contests from that account, and I didn't want to unknowingly step on his toes, or get in his way, regarding the assets on the account, I'd mostly avoided in my asset-management endeavors, aside from adding a few assets, that I was pretty sure that he wasn't using, into a handful of pools. Although Ben has told me that I could do whatever I'd like on @heartbeatonhive, I really didn't want to mess things up for him somehow.

With how busy he's been in his life lately, however, and because I didn't want potential asset growth and income potential to go to waste, I finally decided to take what he said to heart and to begin thoroughly managing assets on @heartbeatonhive as well, to grow his assets while he's not using them, though I do still keep the assets there separate from the rest of the 'We Are Alive Tribe' assets. So over the past two weeks I've been adding a good many tokens to a myriad of pools on @heartbeatonhive, to slowly begin creating and growing new income streams for Ben. Ben shares everything with the community anyway, so I leave the assets on @heartbeatonhive for him to distribute as he sees fit.

So I now track and manage assets in lots of diesel/liquidity pools across three accounts, my own, @aliveandthriving, and @heartbeatonhive, though presently I keep my asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe on Sundays, since managing assets and liquidity pools for 3 accounts every day takes a bit more time than I can easily give at the moment. I'm happy to finally bring @heartbeatonhive online with pools too, as it will increase our resource generation, that Ben will be able to use in his contests, or which could be allocated to other accounts if needed, and it's not inconvenient for Ben. Let's see what I'm able to do over the next few months!

Yesterday, Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts. Once I had that completed to my satisfaction, I chopped and dumped bad/used coconuts at the upper coco bar, and I tidied up the area a bit. With that done, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, after which I sharpened my machete, and I did two good rounds (with a short break in between) of clearing at various spots on the property. When I finally finished with that for the day, I took a shower, made myself a simple grilled cheese in the Landing, and with that and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hands, 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 10PM, and after some asset management, and hearing the good news from Bjorn that our @aliveandmmb witness had successfully produced and signed its second block, I went to bed by a bit after 11PM. I woke up very early indeed, by around 5AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, listening to a podcast on Qortal about liberating ourselves from the slave system and creating parallel societies, 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 1:30PM, so it's a good 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 some photography for my posts, and then to walk over to my friend Lea's property to assist her with more clearing 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

Vote for our @aliveandmmb Witness Node!

This is our collaboratively shared Witness node between the We Are Alive Tribe, and @borniet's and my MMB (Maximum Mutual Benefit) Project, here to build something good for all of us! The higher in the witness ranking we go, the more that we'll be able to grow the We Are Alive Tribe, and the more that we'll be able to share with all of you!

Vote for @borniet's @botlord Witness Node!

Bjorn is our badass coder who hosts and manages our (and also Bradley's) community backends, he creates all sorts of useful tools, and he assists people all over the Blockchain constantly. He redefines the term 'busy'!

Vote for @bradleyarrow's Witness Node!

Bradley's tenaciously committed and all-in on Hive for the long haul (just like me!), and the higher his witness goes in the ranking, the higher the weekly BBH and BBHO dividend payouts will be!
