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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

This morning the words 'Sovereign Wealth Fund' popped into my mind, and intrigued, I did a little investigation as to exactly what that combination of words meant. I soon realized that the purpose and nature of SWFs is very similar to what Ben (@benthomaswwd / @benthomasuk) and I are already doing for the We Are Alive Tribe, though instead of being state-owned, it is owned by all of you, our community, for the purpose of funding the creation of our decentralized community economic and financial framework, that allows us to distribute ever-greater financial returns to our community members and supporters, and to continue to invest, leverage, and grow our assets and investment liquidity with ever-increasing diversity and depth, for the good of us all.

Since diverse ongoing community investments are an essential component of this, along with sharing as much abundance and wealth with our community as is economically and financially feasible, and because long, descriptive names are something of a proclivity of mine, I think that the 'We Are Alive Tribe' Sovereign Investment and Wealth Fund fits the bill quite nicely indeed, though the acronym is pretty ridiculous, WAATSIAWF, I mean how on earth would you even pronounce that in any easy and elegant way?!?

Up until now, most of the investment liquidity for this 'We Are Alive Tribe' Sovereign Investment and Wealth Fund has come directly from Ben and myself, and we're happy to do so, though since it's our shared endeavor for the good of the community, it would be incredibly helpful and useful for more of you in our community, who love and believe in the We Are Alive Tribe, and what we're doing with and for it, to contribute and get involved more deeply, because that just speeds up the building and growing of our community economic and financial system, that will support and benefit us all increasingly more over time. Pooling and focusing investment resources is the most effective and efficient means of doing this.

That's why I'm thinking that this 'We Are Alive Tribe' Sovereign Investment and Wealth Fund should perhaps become something of an official thing, not obligatory in any way, of course, but rather to make it abundantly clear that this is what we're doing, and that community contributions, donations, and investments are really quite important in terms of making all this happen in any short-term time frame. We'll make it happen regardless, but we sure could use the help, hence an official community fund.

I just had the idea that it might indeed be useful to create a new account for the purpose of receiving such investment resources from our community, which I'd probably check weekly, to collect and allocate any received assets in my once-weekly thorough asset management for the We Are Alive Tribe. Hrmmm...this could work, and I might do this soon. What would the name of the account be (since I can't use the full name that I mentioned), @waatsiawf? I definitely think that I need to play around with that acronym a bit...lol!

Yesterday, Tuesday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 2:30PM. Since I had already taken 3 days worth of photos over the past few days, I focused on the main task of the day, helping to unload a truckload of red cinder, to distribute along our trails. With so many people and wheelbarrows, this joint task did not take very long at all. After wrapping that up, I took a quick asset-management break up at the Flow House, then I ran a (failed) network-connection test on our previous internet service. Upon completing that, I made myself some food (a mini spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, and Dijon mustard) in the new kitchen space, 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 tasks. I had a ridiculous number of notifications last night, so I wasn't able to get through them all before I had to stop by around 10:30PM, to do more asset management, and then to go to bed by a bit after 11:30PM. I woke up quite early, by about 5:30AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen space, then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:15PM, so it's a great time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other 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 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

2026 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
