January 2024 Favorites

Hello, from the longest deep winter month. It was a productive first month of the year. I learned a lot from my coach and from Roma Abdesselam on caring for oneself. I realized that one of the most important things we decide is what something means to us. It frames everything, including our emotions. IContinue reading “January 2024 Favorites”

A Thought About Pace

I read something powerful yesterday about rest and slowing down. Jesus was in no rush and lived a life full of interruptions, people and an unexpected pace. After Lazarus (His bff) died, it took Him days to get to him. Throughout His ministry you see His “slow” pace. Sometimes, we attribute this to Jesus’ divinity—Continue reading “A Thought About Pace”

Seen on the Train

I am on the train today. It is actually moving. Yesterday morning was a whole different story. I literally had to walk through a train tunnel and climb out and find a way to get to court. Today, the train is moving. There is a man taking up almost the whole bench, and he isContinue reading “Seen on the Train”

The Choice of Rest

How to Shake Off the Week

“Those who sow in tears shall reap with shouts of joy.” Psalm 126:5 Today was a rough day. I won’t go into the details. I will pick up where I left off on Monday. But as I felt the overwhelm and edginess that comes with the feeling of being chewed and spit out, I satContinue reading “How to Shake Off the Week”

Things I Will Start Doing For a More Human Summer

By: Gabriela Yareliz Here are some things I want to implement: –More grounding: Bare feet on the ground. I got a wooden shower mat for this as well. I want my feet on solid ground (lol just thought of the hymn). –Move every hour: There are days where I am sitting so much. Doing legContinue reading “Things I Will Start Doing For a More Human Summer”

June 2022 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz A new month begins. June was filled with really magical and fun moments. There were victories, excitement, and stress. It was sort of a harvest month. There are months when we cultivate and months when we reap the result of serious efforts and grace. I read some incredible books on entertaining, startedContinue reading “June 2022 Favorites”
