Born of the Fire
“It’s ok not to feel ‘festive’ this year. All your emotions are welcome and darling, the feeling is the healing. Wishing you all the space and grace to feel as you do, remembering that no feeling is permanent. Allow it to move through you, and it might just make space for something fresh and new.”Continue reading “Born of the Fire”
You Keep Your Choice
By: Gabriela Yareliz In a time where discernment is everything (so seeking God’s wisdom is paramount), we decide whether we stay in darkness. Scripture illustrates often how those who choose blindness, darkness, and pride are permitted by God to keep it. If you choose blindness, you will get to stay blind. If you choose toContinue reading “You Keep Your Choice”
Grateful Hearts
“O beloved Spirit, truly you have given us so much, an extravagance of riches. Give us, we pray, one thing more: the gift of grateful hearts. Hearts that will not forget what You have done.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
Winds Unleashed

Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
An Overlooked Blessing
“I’m grateful that Heaven operates on a ‘need to know’ basis. It’s one of life’s most overlooked blessings.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz When life squeezes us and wrings us like an old cleaning rag, we often wish we could have seen whatever we are going through ahead of time. Usually, our wish toContinue reading “An Overlooked Blessing”

Just Shoot Me! Nina Van Horn is forever an icon. I have been rewatching with my husband inContinue reading “Forgiveness”
