By: Gabriela Yareliz Recently, I saw someone write that “courage is a blessing.” A fact in human history is that there are people who have the audacity to do some pretty terrible things or to tell bold lies. We need more people who have the courage to do the right thing. Those who don’t discardContinue reading “Courage”

Eyes On You
By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome to another day. A new variant. A new state of emergency. More fear being vomited onto us. (If only we reacted to it as the vomit that it is). That’s what seems to be heaped on us, like a bad record on repeat. It’s the day after the worst day ofContinue reading “Eyes On You”
Switching Off
By: Gabriela Yareliz My mind is going (taka-taka-taka-taka). Switch is on. I saw something beautiful, written by @jessicaalixhesser, today.

Clarity
Excerpt from The Clarity Cleanse, by Dr. Habib Sadeghi: “The more we reach for clarity, the more space we create in our consciousness. The more space we create, the more room there is inside of us for love to expand and grow. Love is a natural state of being, the divine state of being. WhenContinue reading “Clarity”
