It's Friday snitches, let's hang out!
While immersed in Flushing NY's seriously Chinese vibes, my kids bought a shit-ton of weird-ass snacks and then tried to recreate some random Chinese TikTok video they are obsessed with: https://www.tiktok.com/@gildrtsy/video/7405511542667545861?_r=1&_t=ZP-8y7QlZyNCxz
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.

Topics covered include:

It's been a while since I've been around, but I had gum graft surgery eight weeks ago tomorrow. I'll post pictures later of what the graft looks like likely tomorrow. I go back and see my periodontist in Tyler, Texas two weeks from tomorrow. The graft has healed nicely I'll tell you that much and tomorrow I'll start getting back fully to a normal diet.
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!!
