“A Culture in Turmoil”
“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””
Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”
Erasure
By: Gabriela Yareliz Candace Owens led an interesting discussion around the attempted erasure of ancestry. Cue the Cracker Barrel controversy. (Truly one of my favorite places to be. I heavily considered planning a wedding party there). “It’s a spiritual attack on the idea of ancestry. Nothing can be old. Everything must be new. They wantContinue reading “Erasure”

Whimsy
“True whimsy cannot be purchased or curated. It is free! It cannot come from someone else or be manufactured. Real, true, pure whimsy comes from your heart and bubbles out!” Jenna O’Brien
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop. That’s a profound question. We so often do things from our false self and ego— but what does loveContinue reading “The Right Question”
Narrowed
I heard this quote recently that is a profound expression of truth: “Love eliminates options.” Andy Figueroa People make choices. Choosing is the most sacred thing we do. Love rules our choices, if we allow it to. And when it does, it eliminates options. I heard someone discussing this phrase in coaching. “How have youContinue reading “Narrowed”
Defining Leadership
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
