Where We Set Our Feet
“Anywhere God walks is not beneath us.” Stand Against the Wind, Erwin R. McManus I read this quote this morning, and it shook me. This will mean different things to different people, but it was such a reminder of the humility of Jesus, and not only in His earthly ministry, but the fact that, today,Continue reading “Where We Set Our Feet”
July 2023 Favorites
This July was a busy one, but the summer is flying by. I explored country stores, ate peaches and met a Teddy Roosevelt impersonator. I drank a peach apple slushie that was to die for. I explored a new city park, and then, a neat city pier. I walked through the Greenwich Village, which isContinue reading “July 2023 Favorites”
The Therapy Gems
By: Gabriela Yareliz Therapy is something I have found immensely helpful when processing life events or the past. It is an incredible tool that leads to more self-awareness. In April, I started a christian coaching program that when I signed up, I had no idea how needed it was going to be. Both therapy andContinue reading “The Therapy Gems”

I would browse, waiting for my computer ticket number to come up so I could check my email at one of their computers. ThereContinue reading “The Libraries”
Jeanne Damas’ Library
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I wrote The Didion Estate, it was the first time I had put in writing my dissecting of another’s library. I do it all the time mentally, but it was fun to share it. So, as summer winds down and autumn calls, I figured it was time for another fun library.Continue reading “Jeanne Damas’ Library”
August 2022 Favorites
Greetings! Another month has gone, “poof!” and it floats away into the sky. This month, it felt like I read 20 books at the same time. Bad news about the economy and tons of primary info seemed to be front and center, throughout August (midterm elections approach, slow and steady). It was a month ofContinue reading “August 2022 Favorites”
The Didion Estate
By: Gabriela Yareliz All Joan Didion fans know that her estate is going to auction in Hudson, NY. Architectural Digest quotes Lisa Thomas, a Stair Galleries fine art specialist, as saying that Didion’s apartment and her things, “It all just really told the story of who she was as a person, how she wrote, andContinue reading “The Didion Estate”
