By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, I get upset with parts of myself when they react a certain way, or when I feel vulnerable and raw in my emotions. I am learning to manage certain parts of me, in a better way. Sometimes, giving yourself permission is a step and accomplishment, in and of itself. I amContinue reading “Raw”

Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a gloomy day, not just because it’s French Election Day. The sky is dark. Issues with my (gas) stove and other matters have me stressed out. I will be fine. I sat down, and I asked myself why I felt that tightness in my chest. I swear it all begins when I,Continue reading “Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai”
Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017
[Image from Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Sunday morning to you! French election, round one, kicks off. I need to find a minute today and whip out some stationery and write to Madame about our election concerns. I think I will wait until I see who dominated in this premier tour. Participation is atContinue reading “Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017”

“There are only two kinds of people in the end: those who say to God, “Thy will be done,” and those to whom God says, in the end, “Thy will be done.” […] No soul that seriously and constantly desires joy will ever miss it. Those who seek find. To those who knock it isContinue reading “Two Kinds of People”
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. It’s not filled with photos of me posing with a bag dangling from my forearm, while looking impeccable. It’s not a place where I test different shades of makeup or tell you how to eat. IContinue reading “This Place”
