Monday Inspiration: December 28, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week. New opportunities to be who we want to be. Every choice, every minute, every word, every gesture. Fresh, clean slate.

Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This will be a simple, no-frill post. I don’t have too much to say. I know. Rare. Maybe that is a lie, though. We’ll see how long this post ends up being. This weekend was pretty introspective. Apparently, I appreciate the art of making myself uncomfortable. So, after a weekend of lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #48

“I want everything—love, adventure, intimacy, work.”  Virginia Woolf, from a letter to Leonard Woolf By: Gabriela Yareliz On the other side of the world, two of my friends are getting married, right now.
