Better
By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future.

I have been so blessed to live a life filled with so many blessings I didn’t even know to ask for and beautiful people. I thank GodContinue reading “Give Thanks”
Growing up
What a Friday. I have been outlining like a beast. It has been a nice birthday celebration week. (I know, so Puerto Rican of me to celebrate for logner than a day). It is just so weird. All of a sudden, something snaps and you realize– you are no longer Disney Channel material. I amContinue reading “Growing up”
