[From the Dillon-Panther Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those lazy Sundays. It was raining since early morning, and it rained throughout the day. Everything was grey, up until the sunset. Then, the sky turned blue and yellow. I ate pumpkin pancakes and potatoes, and then crawled back into bed. I did allContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 9, 2016”

Wednesday Glee: From Christine Caine
“Forget the former things; do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; do you not perceive it?” (Isaiah 43:18-19) By: Christine Caine “It’s amazing to me how many people can get stuck in a moment of their past. Now, it could have been a good momentContinue reading “Wednesday Glee: From Christine Caine”
Per Dimenticare
[Per Dimenticare= Italian for: [In Order] to Forget You] By: Gabriela Yareliz It has been a happy set of months, where I have been watching friends’ wedding videos, attending weddings and finding out about new life chapters beginning. It has filled me with so much happiness for those friends; those I love so much. In theContinue reading “Per Dimenticare”
Sonam Kapoor: I Didn’t Wake Up Like This
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sonam Kapoor has always been an inspiration to me. Before Chrissy Teigen was making provocative statements and making us laugh with her wit on Twitter, there was Sonam Kapoor on Koffee with Karan. She always says what is on her mind, and I love her for it. Yesterday, I was talking toContinue reading “Sonam Kapoor: I Didn’t Wake Up Like This”
Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s like someone flipped a switch. Autumn began with the cutest Google animation of little rocks eating a leaf (did anyone else see the adorableness?), and then, BAM, sixty-degree weather that makes your nose run. I was almost stranded in Jersey City last night with a shut-down Path train station, and aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: September 25, 2016”
Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! I saw a sign that said: “I run on caffeine, chaos and cuss words.” So cheesy. But, it made me wonder– what do I run on? We all run on something; especially on Mondays. What are your three things? I guess mine sign would say: “I run on vegan/gluten free proteinContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016”
“Dark Faith”
By: Gabriela Yareliz I read a brilliant article about Mother Teresa and her “spiritual darkness,” in The Week . The article was called, “Mother Teresa sometimes didn’t believe in God. That makes her an example of faith.” Provocative. Mother Teresa recently became a “Saint.” I remember after reading her journal in high school, how impacted I wasContinue reading ““Dark Faith””
Give Us
“Give us this day our daily bread.” Matthew 6:11 By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to an old Kidd Kraddick in the Morning podcast from 2013. Kidd Kraddick was still alive and was the main host of the radio show. He was reading a letter sent in from a woman who had been struggling financially.Continue reading “Give Us”
Understanding
“You’ll understand, someday,” some hurtful people say. That phrase irks me. Sometimes, I think people use it hoping they will understand their own actions, someday. Unfortunately, some actions can’t be justified or excused, even after the passage of time. And that’s just how it is. -GY
Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles
By: Gabriela Yareliz This past week, I was listening to a “Pocket Pardon My French” podcast, by Garance Doré, about the meaning of success. This is a word and yardstick that tortures young adults and adults, alike. It’s the stuff children’s dreams are made of. Garance spoke about how true success, to her, is knowingContinue reading “Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles”
