I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1209 - Investing in the We Are Alive Tribe Benefits Us All! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Tuesday, November 18, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

In my post yesterday I mentioned the idea that I had to begin directly investing in the We Are Alive Tribe by donating/contributing around 40% of my daily SWAP.HIVE income, presently 1 SWAP.HIVE, to boost our investment liquidity, which is very much needed. I sent the first round to @aliveandthriving this morning, and used it to add more liquidity into the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, which provides daily SWAP.HIVE payouts. I'll continue to contribute and invest 1 SWAP.HIVE every day moving forward, and I'll probably increase that amount over time.

My 1 SWAP.HIVE a day will go a long way, and it will definitely accelerate the process of creating and building more and larger income steams, which will then allow me to invest more diversely and strongly, and to share more with the community. This idea of directly investing in the growth and success of the We Are Alive Tribe, and our beloved token ALIVE, got me to thinking about how else I might be able to do so.

That's when the thought to add @aliveandthriving as a 5% beneficiary on all my posts came to my mind, which is exactly what I did. So now, moving forward, @aliveandthriving will receive a 5% portion of the rewards from every post that I publish. My posts are generally earning pretty well now, so I'm quite happy to contribute even more to making the We Are Alive Tribe, and our ALIVE token, ever more amazing.

I'm investing more deeply and strongly in the We Are Alive Tribe because, one, I truly love this community, and I want it and everyone who's a part of it to succeed and thrive, and two, because I know and trust the team of people who's leading it, me being one of them. I know what's possible for the We Are Alive Tribe, and our ALIVE economy, and I believe in my ability to leverage and grow assets and income streams over time, so I'm going all in on building a financial powerhouse, for all of you, and for me too.

The more investment liquidity that we have, the more quickly and abundantly we'll be able to share the resulting benefits with all of you, and to turn ALIVE into the most badass multi-use token on Hive Engine. So no pressure or obligation, but if helping me to create and build the We Are Alive Tribe Multi-Stream Passive-Income Machine sounds interesting and inspiring to you, then any contributions would be deeply appreciated, and put to very good use. SWAP.HIVE and BEE are the assets that we need the most, but truly any contribution is very welcome, as I'm sure that I'll find some beneficial way to use it. The same goes for assets that come in through beneficiary rewards, for those of you who choose to set @aliveandthriving or @hive-155221 as a beneficiary in your posts. Let's build something incredible, my friends.

Yesterday, Tuesday, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks by around 12:30PM, I prepared for a session that was scheduled for 1:30PM. The session started a little late, it went very well, and we wrapped it up by around 5PM, after which I headed to the Landing to make myself some food (a grilled cheese, on sourdough, with fried pepperjack cheese, and horseradish mustard), and to collect my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge, and with those in hand(s), I returned to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks. Unfortunately, since it was densely cloudy and rainy all day, our solar electrical system crashed just after 6:30PM, so I ended up having to get everything done on my phone, in the dark. I finished up by a bit before 10:30PM, and after some asset management, I went to bed a little after 11:30PM. I woke up quite late, just before 7:30AM, having slept well, doing more asset management on my phone, heading to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee once power was restored, then back to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 12:15PM, so it's quite 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 (hopefully not in the rain), then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my BPUD post later this evening, and the next expression of these posts 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
