“Let’s not romanticize grief. It is a ghost parade. Sleep doesn’t come. Only reckoning.” Rainier Wylde By: Gabriela Yareliz Grief can stem from so many things or circumstances. It is often tied to death, but it can be tied to addiction, abandonment, loss of time, betrayal, not being understood or loved, and the loss of aContinue reading “When Grief Rips Through”

Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”

Love Received
By: Gabriela Yareliz When a loved one has passed, we still think of them every day. We love them. We miss them. There would be no point in missing someone we won’t see again, but it’s like we know. We know this is not the end. I wonder what happens to all the love accumulatedContinue reading “Love Received”
August 2024 Favorites
Hello friends, August rushed off. What does this mean? The month was a bit of a blur. It was filled with busy stuff at work, back-to-school, smoothies, sweaty walks around Central Park where I was offered a carriage ride almost every day, a tow truck ride with a really nice guy who can back upContinue reading “August 2024 Favorites”
March 2024 Favorites

Overwhelmed with gratitude in my personal life. I spent time with family and beautiful peopleContinue reading “March 2024 Favorites”
Pain, The Gift
Pain has a way of breaking us open, allowing space for us to see through the veneer at who we truly are. We grow numb to the world; cold like porcelain— but then, suddenly, pain reminds us we are alive. Pain strikes the nerve; its force and imposition felt like a live wire. Pain remindsContinue reading “Pain, The Gift”
November 2023 Favorites
This was a month that brought some magic. This month, I met one of my favorite writers and some pretty incredible women. I spent time in Manhattan, which I always love. I saw the homage to Matthew Perry at the Friend’s building. Speaking only for the city, we voted in the same criminals into publicContinue reading “November 2023 Favorites”
Reflecting on Courage and Rising
By: Gabriela Yareliz We near the end of this year. This morning, I came across the words, “Courage, dear heart,” written by C.S. Lewis. Those words came to mean something so much more profound to me this year. I read and held onto them before one of the darkest seasons of my own personal experience.Continue reading “Reflecting on Courage and Rising”
A Havisham Summer
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll start with this– I’ve missed writing. And I don’t mean my month recaps– though those are fun too (and one is coming). I mean I miss my brain dumps where I bare my heart and wax poetic. Reading Garance Dore archives reminded me of what it felt like to write journal-typeContinue reading “A Havisham Summer”
