Reflections Before Bedtime #95
Recently, I found some of T.B. LaBerge’s writings that really touched me. I have featured his quotes on the blog, before. I think his wisdom illustrates the beautiful connection he has with God. His words are always ones that encourage me in my own spirituality. I really appreciated the following thought: “Be authentic in theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #95”
Wednesday Badinage: June 28, 2017
“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were inContinue reading “Wednesday Badinage: June 28, 2017”
Sunday Girl: June 18, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there! We are starting a new week! Last week, I celebrated one year with my love, and I ate a giant artichoke for the first time.

They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light from within.” – Elisabeth Kübler-Ross By: Gabriela Yareliz When darkness rolls in, it’s intimidating. It demands an adjustment in our vision, both literally andContinue reading “Stained Glass Windows”

[Image from Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Sunday morning to you! French election, round one, kicks off. I need to find a minute today and whip out some stationery and write to Madame about our election concerns. I think I will wait until I see who dominated in this premier tour. Participation is atContinue reading “Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017”
Radical
By: Gabriela Yareliz No one is born knowing. I like this saying. It reminds me to be patient with myself when I am facing new circumstances and learning to deal. Sometimes, I place an unbelievable amount of pressure on myself. This past week was an intense week of “learning to deal.” It was draining, emotional,Continue reading “Radical”
Better
By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future. If we could see that perhaps a snarky comment or selfish act later leads to us hurting the ones we love and our own destruction, what would we do differently? What if?Continue reading “Better”
