“It’s a ring”

It’s no secret that I love people’s stories, and I love power couples. So, when I saw that Clooney shared how he proposed, he had my full attention. He said he never thought he’d marry again, but then, six months after meeting Amal, he knew he didn’t want to live without her. Maybe, people outContinue reading ““It’s a ring””

Reflections Before Bedtime #68

Mild temperatures and pretty colors. I love this photo. Oh, how I love the moon! The storm ended up being a lot more impressive thanContinue reading “#StormJonas”

Happy Week: January 24, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz We are thawing out, my people. The blizzard left us magnificent heaps of white glittery snow. I took a walk around my neighborhood today. Children were making bank. Adolescents were running around with shovels helping neighbors resurrect their cars. Neighbors would then hand them bundles of cash after a job well-done (meaningContinue reading “Happy Week: January 24, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #65

The most interesting kind of eyes are the outspoken ones. They have no choice but to be honest. I love the ones that can tell a whole story. The ones that can’t feign interest.
