By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week begins, again.The pharmacy looks like a Christmas wonderland. I was walking through Little Italy, and there are already ‘Merry Christmas’ light banners shimmering in the night above the streets. Still no sign of eggnog, anywhere. This is frustrating, but anyway… This weekend was a good weekend. I saw oldContinue reading “Happy Week: November 8, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #46
By: Gabriela Yareliz Mark 4:35-41English Standard Version (ESV) Jesus Calms a Storm 35 On that day, when evening had come, he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side.” 36 And leaving the crowd, they took him [Jesus] with them in the boat, just as he was.

Monday Inspiration: November 2, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz On Sunday, the NYC Marathon sliced my neighborhood in half. I kept wondering how I would make it to the other side. Then, when I needed to cross, the runners were gone and so were the barricades. Isn’t that how we spend most of our time? Worrying about things that will runContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 2, 2015”
You
By: Gabriela Yareliz You are a warm southern night, a barefoot stroll under strong magnolias. You are a strange rain that takes me by surprise. You are a soft palm branch rustle, coaxing me to unwind. You are a moon full of light; you reveal a path unknown and act as guide. You are aContinue reading “You”
Friday Glee: October 23, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”

So, today is the day I hit the publish button. By: Gabriela Yareliz Something I have always disliked is whenContinue reading “Surprised?”
Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time for another week. It will bring its ups, downs and standstills. Sometimes, time seems to go fast and slow and then disappear altogether. It’s cold here now; winter coats, heater drying contact lenses and ear pain. Ahhh… A taste of winter for the soul. This weekend, I had a lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015”
Sunday Girl: October 18, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Figure out what it is you want and fight, fight, fight for it. Maybe, a lot of things in life are about seeing how far we are willing to go for something. There is no guarantee we will get it or even come close; and perhaps, along the journey, things will changeContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 18, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #44
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, I forget my life is just beginning. I forget that I am a perfectionist and that truly, I don’t have everything figured out, and that is okay. It’s when I remind myself of this that my breathing turns normal, and I realize my ponytail is so tight my younger self wouldContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #44”
