By: Gabriela Yareliz This week is going to be like climbing a mountain. Monday was the “strap-on-the-backpack” day. And how about those taxes? *eyes as big as tomatoes* Adulting is hard. 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”

I couldn’t pass up this opportunity to talk about something that is deeply important to me– the most important thing of all. It is what inspires my life, my writing, everything… “Christianity is the only religion in which God suffersContinue reading “Nietzsche’s “God on the Cross””
