By: Gabriela Yareliz Semana Santa (Holy Week) begins. Easter weekend is coming. Easter and Passover always reminds me that God can do and does the impossible. It’s a reminder of His crazy love for us; a reminder that redemption has been completed; a reminder to rest in His provision and leading. I haven’t been resting much, literally, (IContinue reading “Sunday Girl: March 20, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: March 14, 2016
“Beauty is fleeting, but a rent-controlled apartment overlooking the park is forever.” Carrie Bradshaw By: Gabriela Yareliz I walked 10.17 miles, on Sunday. You can think of me as a champion, a crazy woman– or both. Have your pick. But it felt good. The day was cloudy and fresh, and I was walking around inContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: March 14, 2016”
Leap Year
‘Leap Year’ is a ‘top 10’ movie for me. It always makes me smile, and this is just the perfect time to watch it. Magical things happen when we let life surprise us, and we surrender control. Anna: Jeremy and me, it didn’t work out. Declan: I’m sorry. Anna: Well, when my 60 seconds came around,Continue reading “Leap Year”

“To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” Stephen Levine By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy week to all of you, my fellow cold survivors. I had an amazing dinner on Saturday night. As we were walking outside, we checked the weather, and it was below zero temperatures. Craziness. It wasContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 15, 2016”
Tuesday Badinage: February 9, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s your little plague, here. I am feeling much better. My cough is still scaring people, but hey, today will be a better day. Yesterday, I was speaking to a client; started coughing; couldn’t breathe; dropped the file (all papers scattered); I quickly put a cough drop in my mouth;Continue reading “Tuesday Badinage: February 9, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #69
By: Gabriela Yareliz To be. We aren’t talking about “to have” or “to do,” but “to be.” I was talking* with someone recently, and we were discussing how we always celebrate what people do (selectively), but we don’t exactly celebrate who people are. We’ll celebrate a football player who body slams another, but he couldContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #69”
Friday Glee: February 5, 2016
Hi friends, Today, we explore snowy tragedies, what’s in an age (is it really nothing but a number?), questioning what it means to be really “grown up”, the political scene, breakups, languages, and maybe more– you know, if we get to it. Most of you aren’t from the U.S.; I love looking at my readerContinue reading “Friday Glee: February 5, 2016”
“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
By: Gabriela Yareliz Not too long ago, I was looking at photos from a movie premiere Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes had in the 1990s. The fashion was terrible. I think there is a whole BuzzFeed article dedicated to the horrendous fashion. I won’t post a photo from the premiere. You’re welcome, Clare Danes.

Like-minded People
By: Gabriela Yareliz May I just say that this weekend taught me an important lesson on the value and importance of surrounding yourself with like-minded people. Thank you, brunch from hell. #lessonlearned Some people are just there, waiting to hack at you with a machete, or they want to take you with them on a spiral intoContinue reading “Like-minded People”
