I Am #AliveAndThriving Today! || #IAmAliveChallenge || Daily Off-Grid Jungle Journal Entry: Day #1454 - My 4 Focuses to Rebuild the We Are Alive Tribe's Income Streams - GaiaYoga Gardens, Lower Puna, Far East Big Island, Hawai'i - Sunday, July 12, 2026

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

The We Are Alive Tribe's distribution of HIVE weekly to our HP delegators, and daily in our ALIVE dividends, is officially paused as of today, until I'm able to rebuild sufficient new community income streams, as I discussed in my post yesterday, and which I've been mentioning in my last several posts, to return our community economy to a workable and sustainable place. I will write an official post about this on one of our community accounts (I'm still deciding which one) as soon as I can find the time for it, but for those of you who keep track of these posts, I want to continue sharing where we stand, and how I'm progressing in this quite challenging endeavor.

There are currently four projects on which I'm focusing to accomplish this task of building and growing new income streams to fund our HIVE distribution, delegating HP to Bradley's account (@bradleyarrow) for daily HIVE payouts, delegating CENT and SPORTS to @centtoken for weekly HBD and CENT payouts (the CENT will continue to be staked and delegated for increasing HBD payouts), delegating HP on my own account and in time on at least one community account to @dab-vote for DBOND and DAB (I'll be loaning DAB as it comes in my account to @aliveandthriving), and delegating HP to @steembasicincome for HSBIDAO. DBOND and HSBIDAO are both auto-compounding, so the more that we have, the faster they grow, and we already have sizeable holdings of both, so we're off to a good start.

Yesterday I staked the remaining HIVE that we had on @aliveandthriving, just over 22 HIVE, and then delegated it to Bradley's account, which now gives us a new, though currently very small, HIVE income (about 0.007 HIVE daily). As new HIVE comes in, I'll keep staking it on @aliveandthriving, and delegating it to Bradley, which will grow the daily HIVE income a little bit every day. Just in terms of HIVE, Bradley provides higher daily payouts than @ecency (to which we already had a chunk of HP delegated), so he's a good place to start for HP delegations.

My focus and intention is to create and grow multiple good streams of HIVE income, both directly, and indirectly from tokens like HSBIDAO which have solid market buy walls, and multiple good liquidity pools, so they can be sold or swapped for HIVE as needed, once our income in these assets exceeds what we'd need to sell or swap weekly. As I've said, I'm working to implement all this as quickly as I can, but it will still take some time, of course.

In 3 days time I'll be withdrawing my 655+ HBD from Savings, right after claiming the last round of interest, swapping it for 13k+ HIVE, powering it up on the August HPUD (which will take my account close to 34k HP), delegating a good chunk of it to @dab-vote, and then loaning DAB to @aliveandthriving as it arrives in my wallet, which will also grow our daily HIVE income from this source. We do currently have some HIVE coming in daily from a few sources, it's just far too little for a good daily and weekly distribution, which I'm doing my best to rectify as soon as possible. Stay with us, my friends, I'll get this done as quickly, effectively, and efficiently as I can.

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up most of my numerous important Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by a little after 3PM, giving my attention first to some photography for my posts, and a quick food-supply run to Tutu's to restock Wabisabi. Once I had those done, I went to help Braja with a few tasks at her place, after which I made myself some food in Wabisabi, and collected my leftover superfood fire coffee from the fridge there, before heading back to the Flow House to begin my evening Hive tasks. I got through all of my notifications by a bit after 9PM, and after doing some much needed asset management on my own account, and scanning my X feed for a while, I went to bed by a little after 11:30PM. I woke up just before 7AM, having slept very well, going to prepare my superfood fire coffee and some breakfast in Wabisabi (where I shared a great conversation with Avi), returning to the Flow House to prepare my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update to write later, and to write this post. It's now just before 12:15PM, so it's an excellent time to wrap up this post, so that I may attend 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 on some jungle-community/land work and tasks. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my Weekly-Hive-Goals-and-Progress Update later this evening, and the next edition of these posts tomorrow! 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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!

If you appreciate what we're doing with the We Are Alive Tribe, and feel inspired and motivated to lend a hand in building and growing our decentralized community economy and financial framework, which benefits all of us, community conntributions/donations/investments may be sent to our 'We Are Alive Tribe Sovereign Wealth Investment Fund' account, @waat-swif. They're deeply appreciated, and are put to very good use.

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!
