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 5 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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙
Since taking over leadership and ownership of the We Are Alive Tribe at end of December, the core leadership [Ben (@benthomaswwd), Rosyel (@iamraincrystal), me, and now Bjorn (@borniet), and his wife, @nathalie-s, as well] have accomplished much in quite a short period of time. So far we've gotten the Alive Chat community engagement activities and challenges going again three days per week (with the help of @cursephantom, @edgerik, and @hafiz34), our ALIVE tipping bot back up and running and moved over to the new tip-summary post format, an asset assessment and reconfiguration that has notably increased our daily and weekly income, and Ben got the @heartbeatonhive daily activities rolling again. As we move forward, we're focused on rebuilding and restoring as much of the former Alive Tribe activities and infrastructure as possible, before we allocate time, and dive into implementing, new things, which we're already discussing.
With Alive Chat, the ideal would be to have a community engagement challenge every day of the week, hosted by 2-3 people each. So far Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday still need activities and hosts. I give props to Wilson (@cursephantom) for his excellent management of Alive Chat and its weekly schedule.
I'm thinking that one of the next orders of operation is to get everything ready to begin daily dividend payouts for staked ALIVE once again, not only in terms of the token assets to allocate, but also in the automated daily payout script to run it all. We'll probably start with distributing tokens such as BBH, PEPE, and LOLZ, and then as quanties of new assets become available, add in those over time.
Beginning another daily community engagement activity, where HP delegations for a certain period of time, are given as prizes, like what Erik (@flaxz) was doing with @thisisawesome, would also be a very good idea, I think. It would just need someone willing (and excited) to host it, as well as us deciding which account to use for the delegations, so this one is basically ready to go, waiting in the wings. The weekly ALIVE staking contest that Erik used to do could also probably be restored quite easily, as well.
I believe that 2025 is going to be an utterly incredible year for the We Are Alive Tribe, and in general. Everything has been falling into place in the most astonishingly easeful way, and we have what we need to do some truly glorious things this year, which we very much intend to do!
Yesterday, Friday, I left the Flow House, after I finished up my Hive tasks, just a little after 1:30PM, putting my attention first on some photography for these posts, straining and blending kefir (kefir-honey-cinnamon-cacao) in the Landing, and finally collecting a wheelbarrow full of assorted edible foliage for cow-milking food. With all that done, I took a shower, returned to the Flow House for a short token management break, and then I walked over to my friend Lea's place, to help her with some clearing work. After we finished working, and after some hot showers, we shared a very delicious, and deeply satisfying, totally locally-produced meal and dessert that Lea had made. When we finished eating, and after a sweet good-bye hug, I walk back to GaiaYoga. As soon as I arrived, I went to the Landing to collect my leftover jar of superfood fire coffee from the fridge, then I headed back to the Flow House, to get into my evening Hive tasks, and catching up on my notifications. While I got very close, I wasn't able to get fully caught up on them all, finally stopping around 11:30PM, doing a quick round of token management, and then going to bed just after 12AM. I woke up just after 7:15AM, doing more token management, starting on this post, and then getting out of bed to go make my superfood fire coffee, and to milk Daisy with Jo. After milking, we moved Daisy to the other side of the property, to the pasture, which was quite a harrowing adventure I must say. Once that was done, I returned to the Flow House to write this post. It's now just after 1:45PM, so an excellent time to end this post, so that I may get to my few other important Hive tasks, before leaving the Flow House a little later in the afternoon, for some photography first, and then community/land work. I deeply appreciate y'all so very much! Until my entry in the Reflection Hunters Contest later this evening, and the next iteration of this post 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.

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! 😁🙏💚✨🤙

I am taking a look at the Qortal ecosystem after I saw it mentioned in one of your posts.

Oh, excellent! Qortal is going through lots of changes right now, but in terms of a complete overhaul of how they do mintership, and a totally new UI in development, but it's a great ecosystem, with a whole lot of possibilities. 😁🙏💚✨🤙
