Sometimes we have to take a moment and really think about where we came from, where we presently are, and where we’re heading.
In this video I talk about life. I share where I currently am and what I am working towards.
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.

![Lakeside Chapala Carnaval | Mexicos Mardi Gras Parade in Ajijic | Farewell to Flesh
#carnaval #lakechapala #shorts #ajijic
Lakeside Chapala and Ajijics festive Carnaval displayed plenty of revelry that could be heard all along the lake. The farewell to flesh is a tradition of raucous and public carousing that is common place during this event that precedes six weeks of solemn Lenten fasting and penitence. And the participants in this parade did not disappoint. It was a high-spirited parade with plenty of mal humor to entertain the spectators of all ages.
