This week, two of my dear friends turned a year older, Liz and Feliz. It’s crazy when you start calculating time, and you realize howContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 21, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz September glory days are here. I am sitting here in a cozy but loud coffee shop.

Soaked

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I woke up and stared out of my window. The day was gray with a dark green hue. Rain was falling steady.
