Sometimes the loudest place in the world is the space between our two ears: inside our own head. If you're craving rest but can't seem to quiet the mental chatter, this message is for you.
How many of you remember having to take naps as a child? I’m from Michigan and it was incorporated into our daily routine at school. Rest is mentioned in the Bible more than 200 times. Why aren’t we taking time out of our busy schedules and doing more of it as adults?
In this video, Sunya and I will share 4 ways you can we accept the invitation to enter into the unforced rhythms of grace.
About This Channel:
Whether you are exploring ways to stretch your retirement income, considering life abroad, or searching for a supportive community, this channel will inspire and guide you every step of the way.
Here on this channel, we encourage mature black women and late bloomers to take their life off perpetual pause and push the play button on life. We provide a supportive platform which encourages women to rebrand themselves prior to retiring and share how developing a successful "grace gig" can allow them to live a more intentional and fulfilled life on purpose in their golden years.
This edutainment channel brings value and insight around health benefits of travel, eco-friendly living, opportunities to earn residual income while living abroad, and a candid view of my experiences of co-living in Mexico.
Finally, we talk about our annual Jumpstart Your SOULjourn women's retreat and the importance of doing what you love, despite the BIG 5 Fs (BFFs). Visit our bed and breakfast located minutes away from Chapala Centro in the historical village of San Nicholas de Ibarra-Your Soft Landing on the Road Less Traveled. Sojourners Vista del Lago B&B offers a soft sacred space and warm cultural experience for artists, writers, and other creatives who desire a quiet retreat during their SOULjourn or sabbatical. Our picturesque views of Lake Chapala and surrounding mountains reward those who venture out on the road less traveled. We are an eco-conscious establishment and prioritize wellness and sustainability. Only minutes from the beautiful pueblo of Chapala Centro and the bustling ciudad of Guadalajara, the second largest city in Mexico, there’s plenty of things to see, do, and experience.
