I am currently reading The Obstacle Is the Way: The Timeless Art of Turning Trials into Triumph, by Ryan Holiday. I am a fan of his thoughts and analysis on Stoicism. I get his daily emails, and oftentimes, there is one that is perfect for what I am dealing with that day, or sometimes, itContinue reading “Obstacle Brain Dump”

Birthday Month Reflection: Lessons Learned
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was inspired by Lauryn Evarts Bosstick’s Birthday Reflection post, where she shared three things she learned in the past year. As a fellow May baby, I thought I would reflect on this year. Here is my list: Exposure I have been super intentional about exposing myself to material and things IContinue reading “Birthday Month Reflection: Lessons Learned”
The Abolition of Man
Thoughts by: Gabriela Yareliz, based on The Abolition of Man (all quotes are from the book, unless otherwise specified). There was a hypothetical presented at a meeting. The hypo: A person commits a crime and is arrested. What are possible solutions to this, was essentially the question posed to the group. The serious suggestions offeredContinue reading “The Abolition of Man”

Perspective
By: Gabriela Yareliz As we listen and witness the brokenness around us, may we never forget the supernatural power that intervenes to restore us from the damage. It’s the supernatural that saves us.
True Influence

Apparently, this has been a legit holiday in Europe, for aContinue reading “Game Changers”
This is what life is like
By: Gabriela Yareliz This isn’t a profound discourse, today.

We can talk about that after a fun pelvic exam. The emotions will be a lot more raw, then.Continue reading “This is what life is like”

Grover By: Gabriela Yareliz People tell you who they are in how they do their work, their dynamics with others, how persistent andContinue reading “March Madness: Relentless”
Lessons from a Golden Morning
This was written but never shared in November of 2017, from my sunny kitchen. By: Gabriela Yareliz The morning starts with light seeping through the kitchen window. At first, the light just hits the white chairs and my window friendly plant, but then, it seems to escape its rays, and it dances around the room.Continue reading “Lessons from a Golden Morning”
