Birthday Week
By: Gabriela Yareliz Esther Perel says something along the lines of— you either have different relationships with different people in life or different relationships with the same person.

As time passes, it really does feel like it. **Cue song “I Need a Hero”** Even our most revered historical figures have some insane histories. The MLK Jr. files revealed what was often rumored about the minister and civil rights activist. It wasn’tContinue reading “Unreasonable”
Declarations
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sharing Kim McManus’ declarations. They touched my heart, and I hope they will touch yours. “Number one, let me be what I was not given. Let me be what cannot be bought. Let me be the one, the giver of divine, unconditional love. Let me do the hard things in hard places.Continue reading “Declarations”
