By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw the most precious duo on the train (I know— that is a rare statement). Usually, the trains feel like they emerge from hell (D train, I am looking at you)— but here we are.

A Call to Prayer
By: Gabriela Yareliz At first, I had prepared this as a piece to a post I was going to have go live earlier, but this merits its own post and many more. We encourage all who read to join the global body of Christ in prayer for Kevin Rideout, U.S. missionary abducted last week inContinue reading “A Call to Prayer”
Before Goop There Was My Mom
By: Gabriela Yareliz Before I was obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow, and before I found the article on Goop that changed my life— there was my mom, my original health influencer.

Happy Home
“To be happy at home is the ultimate result of all ambition.” Dr. Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) By: Gabriela Yareliz This Dr. Johnson was way ahead of his time. This week has felt so weird.

I think the world is full of people who are afraid to take ownership of their decisions because they don’t trust they can make theContinue reading “The Path is Paved By Choices”
When Grief Rips Through
“Let’s not romanticize grief. It is a ghost parade. Sleep doesn’t come. Only reckoning.” Rainier Wylde By: Gabriela Yareliz Grief can stem from so many things or circumstances. It is often tied to death, but it can be tied to addiction, abandonment, loss of time, betrayal, not being understood or loved, and the loss of aContinue reading “When Grief Rips Through”
Never Squander
“I pray just as fervently that we never squander or surrender another precious day for whatever reason, and that we never wait until something dire occurs to feel justified in setting boundaries.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
