Good Morning and happy Friday! I wish I was waking up here today!


I have been invited to participate in Friday prayers at the local mosque, and I'm so thrilled for this new experience. I hope the Imam is ready for my many, many questions. I have a group of small business owners arriving from Afghanistan, and I'm researching a few local places, like the mosque, to add to their cultural experience while in America.


In my quest for "authentic experiences", I find myself becoming almost addicted to that feeling of culture shock {thank you e. for opening my mind to this!}. The feeling of being out of my comfort zone, of learning, growing, re-defining my beliefs of people and things. 


Culture shock can happen within your own city, you definitely don't need a passport to experience it. I challenge you to search out new experiences with new people. There is no such thing as a foolish question, so ask them a lot! Learn about other people's journey, their views, their experiences. Grow through knowledge. Enjoy your weekend my loves!
