Better
By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future. If we could see that perhaps a snarky comment or selfish act later leads to us hurting the ones we love and our own destruction, what would we do differently? What if?Continue reading “Better”
This Place
By: Gabriela Yareliz This place has never been a place where I pose in daily outfits or sponsor brands.
