By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s funny how we end up meeting the people we need. People who teach us, stretch us, challenge us and sometimes see us in a much more accurate way than we see ourselves. Maybe, it’s not funny…maybe, it’s serious; so serious, it’s sublime.

Happy Birthday Akash!
Akash, you are one of the most uniquely hilarious people I have ever met. High school wouldn’t have been high school without you. It was awesome sitting next to this smart, funny guy throughout high school. He always made me laugh. He is caring, hilarious and generous. Dear Mort, this one goes out to you. *wink*Continue reading “Happy Birthday Akash!”

The Hope Lodge is whereContinue reading “In Honor of Mrs. T’s Life”
Facing Loss
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some nights, I listen to Delilah on the radio. Old habits that stay a lifetime, I guess. There is something soothing about her voice and wisdom when night falls. Stories and old favorite songs float around in the darkness as slumber finally seduces the senses into stillness. I love the stories, andContinue reading “Facing Loss”
This Week’s Picks: November 10, 2013
By: Gabriela Yareliz Frosty morning to you. That is what this morning was. It has been so incredibly cold. We’ll all be drinking Barley drink (Kaffree Roma-substitute for coffee) and our (eye) glasses will be fogged as we seek warmth.

Friendship, Love, You–all the elements
