"Any man can be a Mason, but not every man can be a Mason." That phrase captures the essence of what it means to be a Freemason. While Freemasonry is open to all men who meet the requirements, it’s not just about being a man; it’s about being a man of certain qualities and virtues. Freemasonry values moral rectitude, honesty, justice, and dignity. It’s a philosophical system that encourages its members to live by high moral standards and to strive for personal improvement. As the phrase suggests that while any man can join the fraternity, not every man may choose to live up to the principles that Masonry espouses. To be a Mason is to commit to a path of personal development, community service, and brotherhood. It's about what you do with the teachings and how you apply them in your life that truly makes you a Mason. If you’re interested in learning more about Freemasonry, our philosophy, and the impact we aim to have on individuals and society, you might find it enriching to speak with a member of our fraternity either one-on-one or at a Lodge event.

It's #MardiGras, and here is my favorite Louisiana lesson: Creole and Cajun are not the same, nor are they interchangeable! Creole, in its original definition, quite literally meant being born in Louisiana (instead of one's home country), but eventually came to most widely represent those descended from enslaved and indigenous peoples. If I had to point to “Creole Country” it’s most specifically the New Orleans area, but Creoles today are everywhere! It's an incredibly rich culture and one of the many reasons why New Orleans is so unique. The Creoles predate the Cajuns and have so much history; did you know the Creole Cowboys predated the “wild west” cowboys? There's so much more than we have time for in this post, and I encourage you to learn more. So what about the "Cajuns"? Their story is different, even though they literally are only 100 miles away from the epicenter of Creole culture. The Cajuns come from the Acadians, who lived in Nova Scotia. To make a long and complicated story short, the British asked them to pledge loyalty to the king for ~40 years. Being devout Catholics, they declined, as God was their king, and they were kicked out. This was a hugely complex event, and it was inaccurately chronicled in Longfellow’s famous poem “Evangeline.” Gabriel and Evangeline were not real, and the Acadians weren’t exactly angels either. That’s a whole other discussion! They wandered around for a while, and many of them landed in the swamps of south Louisiana. The area most associated with "Cajun Country" is Lafayette and the wider cultural region known as Acadiana. The people there can trace their ancestry back to the Expulsion of the Acadians. If Creole culture is a wide swath of influence, Cajun culture is a little more specific - both are wonderfully rich and unique! Now, you might be asking: how does this all pertain to #MardiGras? Let me say it in one emoji: 🐔 What the Cajuns and Creoles share on Mardi Gras is the reason for the season: literally translated to “Fat Tuesday”, it’s the day before Ash Wednesday (when Lent starts), going back to that Catholic influence. Culturally, Mardi Gras is the last big party before you have to give things up and make sacrifices for Lent, the following 40 days. Cajuns and Creoles both celebrate, but with differences. New Orleans has the popular images of floats, beads and revelry, but Cajun Mardi Gras, found in the greater Lafayette area, involves delightfully crazy costumes, chasing after chickens, and a lot of dancing. The Cajuns and Creoles have totally different stories and represent widely different people — yet both cultures celebrate many of the same things and share influences with each other. I’m not an anthropologist and have definitely paraphrased a *lot* of *very* complex events, so I encourage you to research it further. In conclusion: “Cajun” and “Creole” are two wonderfully rich - and NOT interchangeable - cultures. Happy Fat Tuesday!

On Tuesday we celebrated St. Georges Day, The Patron Saint of England. And it got me thinking. I know there are many saints for many things. As someone that talks about Productivity a lot. I wondered if there was a Patron Saint of Productivity. Me aside of course! But my research tells me there isn't a recognised saint specifically dedicated to productivity. So there is time for it to be me! However, there are saints associated with virtues such as diligence, discipline, and stewardship of time, which are often related to productivity. St. Joseph: He is often invoked as the patron saint of workers, craftsmen, and fathers. He is revered for his humility, hard work, and dedication to his family. St. Benedict of Nursia: He is known for his Rule of Saint Benedict, which emphasises the importance of balance, order, and discipline in daily life. Monastic communities following his rule often prioritise work as a means of spiritual growth. St. Thomas Aquinas: Although primarily known as a theologian and philosopher, St. Thomas Aquinas also stressed the importance of order and moderation in one's activities, which are essential aspects of productivity. While these saints are not specifically designated as patrons of productivity, their teachings may offer valuable insights and inspiration for leading a productive and purposeful life. #ProductivityBoost #BusinessManagement #EfficiencyPartner #BusinessConsulting #ProductivityTips #HRConsultant #TimeManagement #EfficiencyExpert #BusinessGrowth #ProductivityHacks #ConsultingFirm #HRStrategy #ProductivitySolutions #TaskManagement #LeadershipDevelopment #SmallBusinessGrowth #WorkSmart #StrategicConsulting #ConsultingServices #EffectivePlanning #BusinessLeadership #BeMoreProductive
