Ruby had know idea of what to expect at the Mexican Mardi Gras Parade in Ajijic this week. She was hilarious in her reaction to the flour blessing. I had know idea that we were going to be covered in flour and confetti as part of the celebration. It’s a Mexican tradition leading up to Ash Wednesday and Lent during the festivities.

![Countering Hustle and Grind Culture: A Reflective Perspective with Sunya Foayan
#WorkLifeHarmony #HustleAndGrind #BlackWomenRest
What do you mean, that you dont want to work? The Bible tells us, The one who is unwilling to work shall not eat. Thessalonians 3:10-13 NIV. There are certain rewards we can expect when we do work toward specific goals. Proverbs 14:23 reminds us that work brings profits. In this interview with Sunya Folayan, from Mind and Manna, well share her perspective of the harmony, not balance, that needs to be understood when considering a life of ease, rest, and renewal.
Co-Living Our Way
Finding a co-living community has been a blessing to me. I am grateful for this opportunity to create a safe space to live abroad and build a sacred sisterhood. And although there have been personal challenges, this beautiful journey has not been difficult.
