“Beauty is fleeting, but a rent-controlled apartment overlooking the park is forever.” Carrie Bradshaw By: Gabriela Yareliz I walked 10.17 miles, on Sunday.

Wings

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was a beautiful spring-like day in NYC. Thank you, Jesus! I wasn’t outside for very long, but when I did step out, without a coat, I felt the sunshine on my arms.

Bus Stop

By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night, I was talking to Feliz as she was driving home.

It’s right aroundContinue reading “Bus Stop”

“To heal is to touch with love that which was previously touched by fear.” Stephen Levine By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy week to all of you, my fellow cold survivors.

Tuesday Badinage: February 9, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s your little plague, here. I am feeling much better. My cough is still scaring people, but hey, today will be a better day.

Reflections Before Bedtime #69

By: Gabriela Yareliz To be. We aren’t talking about “to have” or “to do,” but “to be.” I was talking* with someone recently, and we were discussing how we always celebrate what people do (selectively), but we don’t exactly celebrate who people are. We’ll celebrate a football player who body slams another, but he couldContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #69”
