By: Gabriela Yareliz While sitting in Mosaic’s service this morning, as I listened to the song give+take, I realized my week had a common theme: building. The imagery of building on God was repeated. Building on the rock. The lyrics of that song say: You’re better than anythingAnything else I knowI put my trust inContinue reading “Build on Him”

Wisdom from Tracy Tutor
Because sometimes you need to fight like a girl. By: Gabriela Yareliz I enjoyed Tracy Tutor’s Fear is Just a Four-Letter Word. It’s a great book on how to work with difficult people and succeed in difficult situations. I never saw her on reality TV and yet somehow, I landed in her orbit. She isContinue reading “Wisdom from Tracy Tutor”
This Week’s Favorites 10.16.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was unseasonably warm this week. Please, we do not want to regress into summer. I sweat more than I care to admit, this week. Ever had those moments where you are like, is it my period or sweat that I feel soaking through my pants? (And given my track record— itContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.16.26”
Lessons from Unburdened
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved Dorit Kemsley’s book, Unburdened. These were some highlights for me: “Resilience without boundaries can quietly become self-punishment. I had always believed pushing through was strength.” “I care deeply. That will never change. But caring no longer means absorbing. Loving no longer means overlooking. Supporting no longer means silencing myself.” “OnceContinue reading “Lessons from Unburdened”
Ready for a Garand Era
By: Gabriela Yareliz The New York Rangers’ season is back in full swing. There have been highs, like Shesterkin’s goaltender goal, and lows, like Shesterkin’s recent injury putting him out of commission for the rest of the season. (We wish him a speedy and full recovery!) Let’s be blunt— if an entire team depends onContinue reading “Ready for a Garand Era”
The Duty for Weary Seasons
By: Gabriela Yareliz I finished reading Tish Harrison Warren’s book on resilience, What Grows in Weary Lands. It is a gem, as all her books are. It had takeaways such as: “But I can wait. I can keep going. The practices of our faith, acts of perseverance and trust that may feel futile, are atContinue reading “The Duty for Weary Seasons”
Today’s Mood board
We must return to old places. We must go back to the places, both internally and externally, that taught us about the magic and wonder of life. Yesterday, through a book, I went back to Lake Michigan. In photographs, I saw the sparkle of the lake that once captivated me as a child. It remindedContinue reading “Today’s Mood board”
This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sitting here staring at my bag of baby Jesuses. I need to do better and distribute them. The week went. Maybe it was the PMS, but it was a week of a wide range of emotions. You just feel everything amplified. The joy (petting alpacas) and the rage (people whoContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26”
Audience Reaction
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when I watch Dancing With the Stars, I speak to the dancers from our couch. I say things like “Let’s go, girl,” or “Okayyyy.” Made me wonder— if there was an audience watching us right now, what would they say? If someone was watching you, what would they say? Would theyContinue reading “Audience Reaction”
Deepest Responsibility
My morning reading included this line from Sarah Ban Breathnach: “It is not only our right at certain times to say ‘no’; it is our deepest responsibility.” Sharing it here, in case you need it, too.
