(The hilarious Fran Fine). By: Gabriela Yareliz The 90s were good to us. For some reason, cassette tapes came to mind. I used to make a lot of tapes, with many songs recorded right off of the radio by boombox or walkman. It was a moment of excitement when your song would come on, andContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 16, 2015”

Douce France
By: Gabriela Yareliz Tonight at church, we had an amazing spoken word and music night. I heard the music and testimony of a young man who found God, hope and music in the midst of his chemotherapy and anguish. He was so vulnerable with us tonight. It was beautiful. Tonight, we were pained to hearContinue reading “Douce France”
Happy Week: November 8, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week begins, again.The pharmacy looks like a Christmas wonderland. I was walking through Little Italy, and there are already ‘Merry Christmas’ light banners shimmering in the night above the streets. Still no sign of eggnog, anywhere. This is frustrating, but anyway… This weekend was a good weekend. I saw oldContinue reading “Happy Week: November 8, 2015”
Reflections on Screwtape Letter #4
By: Gabriela Yareliz Based on the masterpiece by C.S. Lewis, The Screwtape Letters, a parody on heaven, hell and the battle for each human soul.

Friday Glee: October 23, 2015
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”
