By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time for another week. It will bring its ups, downs and standstills. Sometimes, time seems to go fast and slow and then disappear altogether. It’s cold here now; winter coats, heater drying contact lenses and ear pain. Ahhh… A taste of winter for the soul. This weekend, I had a lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 12, 2015

Reflections Before Bedtime #42
[Image from @PatriciaManfield. This photo just says, “Boss.”] By: Gabriela Yareliz They say a photo is worth a thousand words. It seems that these days we live off of illusions.

A Goethe Moment
By: Gabriela Yareliz The perfect message for a tough week that has no end in sight. “I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element.

By the end of the day, I looked like I had walked through hurricane Joaquin– hair-in-mouthContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 5, 2015”
Stories
“Stories are necessary–as necessary as food and love. It’s how we make meaning of our lives. Stories matter; many stories matter. Stories have been used to disposes and to malign, but stories can also be used to empower and to humanize. Stories can break the dignity of a people, but stories can also repair thatContinue reading “Stories”
Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015
“Little boy, if you tell me something God can do, I will give you this shiny apple,” a Bible teacher said to his best student. “Sir, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I will give you a whole barrel of apples,” the boy said. (Paraphrase from Dr. Tony Evans). “Obedience precedes blessings.”Continue reading “Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015”
