This post was drafted last Sunday. I never got around to posting it, so here we go: By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday was such a lovely day, filled with worship, gardens and long walks. Unfortunately, the end of it was messy. I wasn’t feeling well, and I ended up vomiting about five times. (I know, soContinue reading “Sunday Throwback: Vulnerability”

Monday Inspiration: August 14, 2017
When I was thinking about what to share today, I couldn’t quite string words together to describe all the pain, hatred and horrific events we witnessed this weekend. My friend Elli Anne sent me this Bible verse today. Its truth resonated with me. Its truth is always relevant. :: If anyone says, “I love God,”Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: August 14, 2017”
Shifa Gardi
Remembering Kurdish journalist Shifa Gardi. She was a passionate journalist following a lead to find abandoned ISIS mass graves. She was killed by a roadside bomb during the battle for Mosul in Iraq, this year. We will not forget her passion, courage and pursuit of truth and justice. Her legacy lives on.

By: Gabriela Yareliz I know several of you have commented on my long absence, so I thought I would do an update post, and just sort of let you know what has been going on lately.

Monday Inspiration: July 24, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maybe one of the best things about being an adult is you know for sure what is important to you and what others have a say in.

I Am Not Your Spic
By: Gabriela Yareliz I Am Not Your Negro (film) was a pretty emotional experience for me. It was probably emotional for every person who one day woke up and realized that he or she was being treated differently than his or her white counterparts. It was also probably a provocative affair for those watching who haveContinue reading “I Am Not Your Spic”
Wednesday Badinage: June 28, 2017
“Some periods of our growth are so confusing that we don’t even recognize that growth is happening. We may feel hostile or angry or weepy and hysterical, or we may feel depressed. It would never occur to us, unless we stumbled on a book or a person who explained to us, that we were inContinue reading “Wednesday Badinage: June 28, 2017”
Sunday Girl: June 18, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there! We are starting a new week! Last week, I celebrated one year with my love, and I ate a giant artichoke for the first time. It was peculiarly good. I feel like life has been such an adventure. I have been learning soContinue reading “Sunday Girl: June 18, 2017”
Enjoy the Silence
By: Gabriela Yareliz (From earlier this week). I am writing this sitting in St. Paul’s Church. My hand curled around the edge of the pew, where I felt a piece of ancient gum that has probably been under the pew for longer than I have been alive. It didn’t even bother me. I am hereContinue reading “Enjoy the Silence”
