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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I just noticed a few minutes ago, after publishing My 197th Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update: 17,200 HP Today, 73 Reputation Surpassed, and Our ALIVE:HEARTBEAT Pool Is Alive! post, that I had reached 17,200 Hive, which came even sooner than expected. Since I'm gaining more than 100 HP per week now, it's a given that I'll exceed 17,300 HP before the end of this new week.

I'm happy to say that activity around our new ALIVE:HEARTBEAT Pool has been hopping since I talked about it in yesterday's post. It actually started before that, as @pinkfloyd878 noticed it before he saw my post, and besides becoming our new pool whale at the top, he also very kindly added 1,000 HASHSCORE to the pool rewards (I reciprocated by adding 500 ALIVE to his HASHSCORE:SWAP.HIVE pool).

As of now, our new pool has 11 liquidity providers (3 of those being community accounts that I used to add the initial liquidity), all being people that I know, either community members, including Ben and myself, or supportive individuals from the greater Hive community. This is excellent to see, especially just over 26 hours after creating and setting the pool up.

Although it's still early, our ALIVE:HEARTBEAT Pool is shaping up to give our ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE pool a run for its money in terms of swapping/trading volume, coming out of the gates strong, with a little over $3 in fiat-dollar value having been swapped/traded so far. We also definitely have more initial liquidity providers than we did with ALIVE:SWAP.HIVE, who jumped in with much greater liquidity, so I'm very curious to observe how it will compare over time.

Creating, managing, and working with diesel/liquidity pools, for whatever reason, is absolutely fascinating to me, and it's something that I very much enjoy, with the We Are Alive Tribe deriving notable benefit from my pool-wrangling adventures. That's pretty great to me. What might be the most exciting choice for our next ALIVE pool?

Yesterday, Sunday, I left the Flow House, after finishing up my many Sunday Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, by just after 4PM, giving my attention to some photography for my posts, and to a few small jungle-community tasks. With those completed, I made myself some food (a spiced-and-seasoned beef burger, on olive-oil-toasted sourdough, with pepperjack cheese, smoked hot saúde, and Dijon mustard) in the new kitchen, 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 got everything done very early, by around 8:30PM, so I used the time to prepare both this post, and my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update post, to write the next day (today). After wrapping that up, and some asset management, I went to bed by about 11PM. I woke up by around 7AM, having slept well, doing more asset management, going to make my superfood fire coffee in the new kitchen, returning to the Flow House to write and publish my Sunday Weekly Hive Goals and Progress Update, and then to start writing this post. It's now just after 1PM, so it's a wonderful time to wrap this up, so that I may attend to my few other impotent Hive-Blurt-'We Are Alive Tribe' tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, to focus first on more photography for my posts, and then on community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until the next expression 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

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'!

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!
