Reflections Before Bedtime #81
By: Gabriela Yareliz I just finished what is probably one of the best books I have read in years: Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson.

Reflections Before Bedtime #79
“It would be hung in attics, she thought; it would be destroyed. But what did that matter? she asked herself, taking up her brush again. She looked at the steps; they were empty; she looked at her canvas; it was blurred. With a sudden intensity, as if she saw it clear for a second, sheContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #79”
Monday Inspiration: March 28, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz From a productive weekend to, what I hope will be, a productive week. Happy week. We begin anew. Last week was absolutely dreadful and draining.

Memories: Washington, D.C. & Maryland
One hot summer day in the capital. Blerta and I were office mates. We were affectionately called, “The meanies.” In other words, don’t mess with us. This panel was so fantastic.

Sunday Girl: March 20, 2016
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.
