I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1187 - BXT, PWR, and a Busy Week Ahead! - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Monday, October 27, 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

When it rains, it pours, both metaphorically and literally. On the metaphorical side of things, I had no sessions last week, for the first time in months, and then on Sunday I had two requests for sessions, on top of two other sessions which were likely, though not scheduled yet. So for the first time since last year, I scheduled 3 sessions in the same week, which basically means that I'm not going to be able to get much community/land work accomplished this week. On the literal side of the equation, it was mostly densely cloudy and rainy for three days straight, which made working outside on the land less than inspiring, and without a functional genrator at the moment, it also means that we would most likely lose electricity during the night, since we're on a solar electrical system, which did happen on two of the three past nights. It's finally sunny today, super thankfully, so our solar batteries will be full for tonight. Yahooey!

I have sessions scheduled for today, tomorrow, and Saturday, with the one session that didn't fit in this week being scheduled for next Friday. I love the work that I do, so I'm happy and grateful for so many women wanting to work with me, though I would definitely prefer that the sessions were spread out a bit more, as with how it is this week, time is going to be in very short supply, given that my sessions usually last about 4-6 hours (I'm very thorough, and there are things that can't be rushed).

In Hive world, I'm happy to say that the daily HIVE payouts for staked BXT, and the daily BXT payouts for liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:BXT diesel/liquidity pool, we're finally started up once again, after being down for about 2 weeks. This is very good, since BXT and the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool are important components to increasing my daily HIVE income.

The SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool has a similar function in layer 2, by providing me with a good amount of SWAP.HIVE every day, and it's actually on par or better than my HP leases. As such, I've been periodically and strongly adding more liquidity to that pool, and to the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool, which is allowing me to continually grow my HIVE and SWAP.HIVE income.

I'm already working to increase the Alive Tribe's liquidity in the SWAP.HIVE:PWR pool, since with the present state of Hive Power on our community accounts, HP leases are not yet an option. I'm also working to diversify the sources for our HIVE income, so that we're not mostly dependent on just one (our delegation of 20,000+ BEE to @bee.voter), and with that in mind, I'm now beginning to add liquidity to the SWAP.HIVE:BXT pool. Once I get it past a certain threshold, I'll start staking the the daily BXT payouts on @aliveandthriving, which will slowly increase our daily HIVE income. I still have a multitude of community income streams to create and grow, but I've gotten a good start so far, and things are growing faster all the time, which means that what we will be able to share with all of you, our community, will also be constantly increasing. The best is yet to come, my friends!

Yesterday, A very rainy Monday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, very late indeed, just before 2:45PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and with that done, a round of banana harvesting with Avi. When we finished with that, I stopped by the Landing to make some of my special spiced-and-seasoned popcorn, and with a small bowl of that, and my jar of leftover superfood fire coffee in hand(s), I headed back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, and to catch up on my Hive notifications. I had to pause that for about an hour and a half to go attend the Monday community logistics meeting, from which I left a little early to make my way back to the Flow House to get back to Hive, to get as much done as I could before the power went out. Very thankfully, I was able to get everything done by a bit after 10PM, and after some asset management, the power went out just as I was about to turn the light out to sleep (talk about timing!) a little after 11PM. I woke up around 7:15AM, having slept very well, doing more asset management on my phone, since the power was still out, going to the Landing to make my superfood fire coffee (as soon as the electricity was back on), then returning to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 11:15AM, so it's a glorious time to wrap this up, so that I may get to my other few important Hive-Blurt-We Are Alive Tribe tasks, before preparing for a session that's scheduled for 1:30PM. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until tomorrow's edition 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
