“We’re literally paying subscription fees to watch characters who represent the worst versions of ourselves.” Kelly Oxford By: Gabriela Yareliz Erwin McManus, the creator and author of The Seven Frequencies of Communication, has often said that when we watch modern TV shows such as Succession, what we are watching are people expressing shadow communication frequencies.Continue reading “Shadows”

Creation
“Bradley Cooper: Don’t you think if we’re doing our jobs properly, everything’s autobiographical? Guillermo Del Toro: People say, ‘Oh, you identify with the creature.’ In the past, yes. Now I identify with the creator. I’m the antagonist of my own story, as well as the protagonist.” On Frankenstein (Source) By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard somewhere that nothingContinue reading “Creation”
A Historic Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz I think we all woke up knowing the world was shifting right beneath our feet. I woke up to the headline below, and clicked into it wondering if this was real. (A sort of déjà vu for Latin America and those who know its history). Mandoka, a Venezuelan cookbook author based outContinue reading “A Historic Day”
Wintering Reminder
“Plants and animals don’t fight the winter; they don’t pretend it’s not happening and attempt to carry on the same lives that they lived in the summer. They prepare. They adapt. They perform extraordinary acts of metamorphosis to get them through. But that’s where the transformation occurs. Once we stop wishing it were summer, winterContinue reading “Wintering Reminder”

“It’s Christmas Eve, the night of miracles.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Merry Christmas Eve! Our advent calendars end tonight. (Mine has been a source of so much excitement this season). This break time has been a much-needed tension detox for me. What have I been up to? Some longs walks, cleaning and laundry,Continue reading “Merry Christmas Eve”
Rich
Mindful News is right— we are rich. We lead a charmed life. “My hot water works on a dime, my a/c works when I need it too, I can go to any grocery store and purchase what I please to eat, I have a clean kitchen to cook in, I have a clean shower toContinue reading “Rich”
How Does This Play Out?
“Wealth, to me, is discernment.” Mari Fonseca By: Gabriela Yareliz We are entering uncharted territory. We arrived here strongly during the pandemic, and we are still watching this unfold. What happens when independent media presents hard facts— names, resumes, photos, first-hand personal testimony from people in the positions to know (many personally asked to breakContinue reading “How Does This Play Out?”
The Jesus
“I’m interested in the radical creativity hidden beneath the stained-glass Sunday school version. The Jesus who tells stories that detonate inside people for centuries. The Jesus who rewired entire social systems with using metaphors. The Jesus who refused every role people tried to hand him: good son, political puppet, religious mascot, and insisted on beingContinue reading “The Jesus”
On the Other Side of the Trade
By: Gabriela Yareliz Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba (former Rangers Captain) were welcomed back into MSG, as they arrived to play against (and slay) their former team (the NY Rangers) with the Anaheim Ducks. These two trades were among the most controversial, in recent time, steeped in drama from the players to the fans. TheContinue reading “On the Other Side of the Trade”
