End
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep being reminded that if I believe and have faith, I need to stop acting and behaving like this is the end or certain things are final. This is not it. The picture is bigger than this. In fact, I am just getting started. I am going to take back whatContinue reading “End”
Reflections Before Bedtime #84
By: Gabriela Yareliz Excerpt from a letter to my mother earlier in the day: I was on the train, and I brought my Bible. I opened it and began reading in the book of Jeremiah.

Reflections Before Bedtime #82
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train. I had a window seat. I saw a woman carrying her newborn, and, presumably, her husband, walking beside her, pushing the empty stroller. He looked a bit tired. They were close to the stairs. I was thinking, ‘Oh man, he has to carry the stroller upContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #82”
Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking with headphones in (listening to the TED Radio Hour podcast on NPR), when I heard a sound. I turned. A block away, a child, who was maybe 6 years old, had fallen and was wailing hysterically. The fall was loud. So loud, I heard it a block away. OnContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016”
