The Real Real
By: Gabriela Yareliz I love to try things. I am a curious raccoon, if you will. There are types of supplements where I have tried them all. The language learning platforms— I have basically tried them all. Something else I have tried a bunch of are fitness platforms. I have talked about this in theContinue reading “The Real Real”
Words for the Silence
By: Gabriela Yareliz Two out of my three trains are on time. I am overcoming my shock. As I do that, I continue to reflect on a passage in scripture that deeply moved me this week. You know, sometimes, you are in a weird season. You feel surrounded by an environment you could do without.Continue reading “Words for the Silence”
Different
“If you want something different, you are going to have to do something different.”Jack Canfield By: Gabriela Yareliz This may be one of the hardest lessons life offers us. Hard because ‘different’ requires courage. It requires risk. It often requires uncertainty and the unknown. It requires sitting down and doing the hard work of tryingContinue reading “Different”
In the Dark
“Ironically, though light can be scarce at night, the darkness can often bring clarity.” Richard Christensen By: Gabriela Yareliz We often talk about the clarity light brings us.

IfContinue reading “The Feminine”

Secrets
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you have watched enough of The Office, you know Scranton has one stripper. She shows up dressed like a nurse to help give a charity check, and she shows up in other ways at Dunder Mifflin. She says, “Secrets secrets are no fun. Secrets secrets hurt someone.” This scene came toContinue reading “Secrets”
This Matters
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way. Some people see it as overkill, but life just doesn’t work the way many assume it does. It surprises all ofContinue reading “This Matters”
