HUMAN RIGHTS DAY, DECEMBER 10

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, we are celebrating Human Rights Day. It’s a cause worth fighting for. I know Humanitarian Day is August 19, but I want to honor humanitarians and missionaries on this day, too. They are, day-by-day, fighting for people’s basic needs all over the world; they spread hope, joy and love. There is still much toContinue reading “HUMAN RIGHTS DAY, DECEMBER 10”

Diamante

Michela Quattrociocche had her second daughter, Diamante, and she turned 26. Che emozione! I remember when Michela wasn’t a mom or even married yet. She is such a beautiful mom and wife. Below are some cute photos of her journey with her second pregnancy from her Instagram @michelaquattrociocche. After the birth of her daughter, she posted,Continue reading “Diamante”

Reflections Before Bedtime #2

[Me, probably eight years old, being ridiculous at my abuelo’s house, wearing my grandmother’s nightgown.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Several people who were once closer to me (friends) have noted that I seem different but the same.

Friday Motivation and Glee: December 5, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time to prepare for Sabbath. Friday means cleaning and jamming around my apartment (lots of Fifth Harmony, guys).

Reflections Before Bedtime #1

This is like Mandela’s Conversations with Myself, except not as deep. I love the mysteries of the world and the new places I have not found, yet. I love my brothers who take blackmail photos of me while I sleep and then send them to me saying it’s sleeping beauty. Sometimes, I still check closetsContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #1”

This Month’s Picks: November 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz November, November, November. You have given me unexpected gifts, and for that I am grateful. I was pressing some  little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless. I once had a discussion with a friend who said there wasContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: November 2014”
