By: Gabriela Yareliz Early in the morning, we split up and stood in two separate lines. One line was for the island of Culebra, and the other line was for the island of Vieques. There was only one boat going to each island (ridiculous, I know), and so at that point, we had a betterContinue reading “Come Walk With Me: Vieques”

Come Walk With Me: San German
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a quick stop, filled with old world charm.
Thread
By: Gabriela Yareliz 6:00 am: Woke up. Ate my two gummy vitamins. Watched some Stephen Colbert, after morning prayer. 7:00 am: On the train with three magazines stuffed in my bag for comfort. I don’t open the magazine I was reading the day before. I am not particularly interested in reading about the Egyptian presidentContinue reading “Thread”
Tuesday Badinage: January 10, 2017
“Man is fond of counting his troubles, but he does not count his joys. If he counted them up as he ought to, he would see that every lot has enough happiness provided for it.” Fyodor Dostoevsky A bit of inspiration for the day. NYC is such a public place. We all sort of partakeContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: January 10, 2017”
This is Wow
One of my childhood icons, Mandy Moore, slayed at the Golden Globes. She looked stunning in that cape dress. She was nominated for her role in the show This is Us.
All Right
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You’re all right, now,” my friend’s text message read after I told her about my morning. “Go home and have a good cry.” I couldn’t. I needed to go to work. Weirdly, I didn’t feel like crying to release all the tension that had built up in me. I also didn’t feelContinue reading “All Right”
This is how 2016 began and ended
By: Gabriela Yareliz I started off the year feeling like I was punched several times in the stomach and knocked to my knees to cough up blood. I didn’t say much at the time because my goal is to always uplift. So, because I write the blog mainly for myself (it’s my self reflection), IContinue reading “This is how 2016 began and ended”
Reflections Before Bedtime #94
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a good thing my heart is stubborn. It’s also a bit like snow. It can be tough; it can be soft; and it melts in inevitable warmth. It sparkles. It glows. Magic. It’s a good thing I befriend people by force. Before they know it, I have come into their lives andContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #94”
How Many Kings?
By: Gabriela Yareliz Oftentimes, we feel alone in our wandering through this human journey– alone in that we feel God doesn’t understand our pain or our struggles. We see God as distant, far– and yet, this season reminds us that God left His throne to assume flesh. He became man and faced our nature andContinue reading “How Many Kings?”
Compatibility
[Image from Tumblr] “Our culture has really fallen for this idea that compatibility is this thing you find or this thing you test for– and that’s just not true. Compatibility is something you create. You learn to enjoy one another; you learn to be compatible. […] Character trumps compatibility; compatibility flows from your character.” PastorContinue reading “Compatibility”
