So remember our supporter show yesterday where I talked about our scheduled first vacation in over a year to Hawaii, supposed to leave tomorrow AM? State of Hawaii requires COVID testing from select approved partners no earlier than 72hrs prior to departure. We used an approved company called Vault Health which does home testing, shipped UPS overnight air, on Wed. Heard from UPS that the shipment was delayed in Kentucky due to weather, NO ETA on delivery 😭
No local testing options that are fast enough, and they would have been $250 per person even if they were available (there's 4 of us).
Vault Health may not refund our $120/person testing fee, even though we can't go on vacation.
Really bummed right now. Maui businesses don't get our patronage, Vault Health gets free money, and my kids are so sad but will get over it. First world problems...FUCK COVID ✈️

The result? This 😆
Hanging in a traditional Japanese (traditional) machiya house, very roomy (by hotel room comparison), traditional futon beds, pour coffee. A super cool experience! Even sporting the Z-Merch! (pics in comments)
From Sunday Zen on YouTube! Enjoy ❤️
Let's dive deep into the themes of trust, surrender, and the Threads of Awakening model introduced by Dr. Pierce Salguero in this live episode of Sunday Zen.
I've been reflecting on how traditional spiritual models can leave us feeling lost, stuck, or even scared, and how Pierce's approach offers a more inclusive framework that resonates with my own experiences.
We share insights on the different threads—emptiness, energy, unity, and psyche—and how they manifest in our lives. We discuss the challenges of spiritual ego, which I've grappled with myself, and discuss the role of psychedelics in opening new pathways of understanding. And we touch on the importance of embracing the unknown as the true entry point to the nature of reality.
Topics covered include:
The Threads of Awakening model and its impact
Trust and surrender in the spiritual journey
Navigating spiritual ego and its pitfalls
Psychedelics as tools
Embracing the unknown and the ...

Firefighting, ghostbusting, yoshi. Costumes upon costumes. And the pure joy of a child just living in the moment.
Where as I'm not a Halloween person, I am very aware of the history and spiritual warfare that that surrounds the holiday/ practice. Yet, I'm not against getting dressed up, beg for candy, and gives reason for adults to dress up to drink and party🥳😆 I like to bake for the holidays, and watch my annual Ghostbusters marathon. Happy All Saint's Day!!
