[Image from @KushaAlagband] By: Gabriela Yareliz I recently read a fantastic post by one of my favorite writers, Candid Kay. It was a reflection on a legitimate fear and problem. It made me reflect on something that has been on my mind, all weekend. My own fears. You see, people do the oddest things. WeContinue reading “Napkin Rings”

Reflections Before Bedtime #82
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train. I had a window seat. I saw a woman carrying her newborn, and, presumably, her husband, walking beside her, pushing the empty stroller. He looked a bit tired. They were close to the stairs. I was thinking, ‘Oh man, he has to carry the stroller upContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #82”
Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking with headphones in (listening to the TED Radio Hour podcast on NPR), when I heard a sound. I turned. A block away, a child, who was maybe 6 years old, had fallen and was wailing hysterically. The fall was loud. So loud, I heard it a block away. OnContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 18, 2016”

Monday Inspiration: April 11, 2016

Learning things and trying to figure out life when you don’t quite understand what the heck you are doing… That requires bravery, my friends.Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 11, 2016”
Reflections Before Bedtime #81
By: Gabriela Yareliz I just finished what is probably one of the best books I have read in years: Just Mercy, by Bryan Stevenson. Attorney Stevenson’s non-fiction account of many of the cases he took on to save people from execution on death row are haunting, memorable– and pretty much each story will fill your eyesContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #81”
Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Who knows what this week holds in store for us. I just pray that whatever comes, we will be ready to face it. This weekend, it was windy and springish, until Saturday night, which quickly turned into torrential rains and air that chills you to the bone. At 4 am Sunday, theContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 4, 2016”
