College of Communication

By: Gabriela Yareliz (inspired by a talk by Sarah May B. and lots of introspection) Hello and happy Monday. I am learning (or trying to learn) more about communication. (How is that for a direct opening?) You start to care more about growing in painful areas when you know you love someone so much thatContinue reading “College of Communication”

Ma

By: Gabriela Yareliz Reading Ashley Graham’s memoir made it clear to me that her mom was a critical part of not only her life, but also her success. If I were to write a book on my life, I know my mom would very much be in the dead center of my story. My momContinue reading “Ma”

New Balance

By: Gabriela Yareliz Let’s call this the year of finding balance. Let’s. Or maybe, the year I learned that every year is a year of finding balance. I am realizing (as naive as it may sound), that each year brings its own unique set of scales. Balance looks different as life continues to pass usContinue reading “New Balance”

I sat down, and I asked myself why I felt that tightness in my chest. I swear it all begins when I,Continue reading “Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai”

Some Wednesday Inspiration: May 3, 2017

“I find beauty in all things authentic, pure, and eternal. And so I value honesty, I value holiness, and I value the soul.” – Lauren Britt “Here is my contention. Christ cannot fail. I may struggle, but He cannot fail. I may waver under the attack, but He cannot fail. If Christ is in meContinue reading “Some Wednesday Inspiration: May 3, 2017”

Disrespected and Wholesome

By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share a random observation: There can be two women. One is worldly. She dresses perhaps less modestly, curses, sometimes behaves irresponsibly, and may throw tantrums or be more high maintenance about certain things. Then, there can be an older woman who is modest, wholesome, and kind. In this world, forContinue reading “Disrespected and Wholesome”
