“You still have life. A choice as to how you will live this precious day.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz The week felt eternal, and yet, the month has flown by.

An Overlooked Blessing
“I’m grateful that Heaven operates on a ‘need to know’ basis. It’s one of life’s most overlooked blessings.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz When life squeezes us and wrings us like an old cleaning rag, we often wish we could have seen whatever we are going through ahead of time. Usually, our wish toContinue reading “An Overlooked Blessing”
The Seasonal Shift
“We put all this pressure on ourselves after watching movies where a girl moves to New York at the age of twenty-three and somehow has a job that you could only get if you have fifteen years of work experience. She lives in an apartment you could only get if you were a literal millionaire.”Continue reading “The Seasonal Shift”
Tunnel to Towers
By: Gabriela Yareliz When you see an officer on the news who is injured or killed in line of duty, or soldiers/veterans come back with amputations— what you often don’t hear about is that Tunnel to Towers steps in and provides a mortgage free home for our first responders and heroes. For disabled veterans andContinue reading “Tunnel to Towers”

Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”
Nostalgia Menu
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to Andy Frisella remember the 7/11 Big Grab Dorito bags. (Apparently, the 7/11 social media is fire, and it’s a bunch of cars). The store carries Frisella’s 1st Phorm Energy. While they carry new products, they are a treasure chest for nostalgic snacks. Taco Bell’s Y2K Decades Menu hasContinue reading “Nostalgia Menu”
Erasure
By: Gabriela Yareliz Candace Owens led an interesting discussion around the attempted erasure of ancestry. Cue the Cracker Barrel controversy. (Truly one of my favorite places to be. I heavily considered planning a wedding party there). “It’s a spiritual attack on the idea of ancestry. Nothing can be old. Everything must be new. They wantContinue reading “Erasure”
All of It
“Fall in love and stay in love. Explode. Don’t intellectualize. Get passionate about ideas. Cram your head full of images… Stay off the internet and all that crap. Read all the great books. Read all the great poetry. See all the great films. Fill your life with metaphors. And then, explode.” Ray Bradbury
