Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. So far, it has been like a page ripped out of Dante’s “Inferno.” I am still waiting for the Divine Comedy element. Kidding. Here is some inspiration for those of you feeling just as dizzy about this week:        “The heights by great men reached and kept wereContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #53

This weekend was oddly but deliciously warm. I had the nice opportunity to spend some face time with good friends. With life’s routines andContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #53”

Reflections Before Bedtime #51

By: Gabriela Yareliz Delilah just played “This Gift” by 98 Degrees. Nick Lachey greatness. I have realized that the more I live, the less I understand about how some things in life turn out.

Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This will be a simple, no-frill post. I don’t have too much to say. I know. Rare. Maybe that is a lie, though. We’ll see how long this post ends up being. This weekend was pretty introspective. Apparently, I appreciate the art of making myself uncomfortable. So, after a weekend of lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever felt like everything you have worked for and everything you hold dear is hanging by a thread? I needed this today: “Hello fear, Thank you for being here. You’re my indication that I’m doing what I need to do.” Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough
