By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there! We are starting a new week! Last week, I celebrated one year with my love, and I ate a giant artichoke for the first time.

Monday Inspiration: June 5, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am on my lunch break, thinking back at something my mom suggested, which is entirely true. As I am facing my newest hurdle in this magical and mysterious thing called life, she reminded me, “This is not like one of your cases that you can just resolve.” What is it aboutContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: June 5, 2017”
Stained Glass Windows
“People are like stained-glass windows. They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross By: Gabriela Yareliz When darkness rolls in, it’s intimidating.

Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017
“Don’t miss this. This is the heart of Christianity. This is what sets our faith off from all other major religions.

Risk beingContinue reading “Friday Glee: April 7, 2017”
Better
By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future. If we could see that perhaps a snarky comment or selfish act later leads to us hurting the ones we love and our own destruction, what would we do differently? What if?Continue reading “Better”
Sabbath Glee: March 4, 2017
“I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.” J.B. Priestley By: Gabriela Yareliz After two weeks where it felt like someone played tug-of-war with me and my head was pounding, I am here. Still.Continue reading “Sabbath Glee: March 4, 2017”
