Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a gloomy day, not just because it’s French Election Day. The sky is dark. Issues with my (gas) stove and other matters have me stressed out. I will be fine. I sat down, and I asked myself why I felt that tightness in my chest. I swear it all begins when I,Continue reading “Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai”

Disrespected and Wholesome

By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share a random observation: There can be two women. One is worldly. She dresses perhaps less modestly, curses, sometimes behaves irresponsibly, and may throw tantrums or be more high maintenance about certain things. Then, there can be an older woman who is modest, wholesome, and kind. In this world, forContinue reading “Disrespected and Wholesome”

Conversations On Being A Woman

By: Gabriela Yareliz Lately, women who inspire me have opened up to start conversations on topics we women have shied away from, typically. I can’t say enough how empowering and interesting it has been to listen and join these conversations on PMS, endometriosis, menstruation, relationships, and health. And I mean deep conversations, not the typicalContinue reading “Conversations On Being A Woman”

Sometimes, I place an unbelievable amount of pressure on myself. This past week was an intense week of “learning to deal.” It was draining, emotional,Continue reading “Radical”

“Springtime is the land awakening. The March winds are the morning yawn.” Lewis Grizzard in Kathy Sue Loudermilk, I Love You By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy spring. Here in New York, one minute, it feels like spring is finally here with a sigh of relief– the next minute, it’s bone-chilling cold.

Better

By: Gabriela Yareliz Imagine if we could see the repercussions of a word, act or omission; how things play out in the future. If we could see that perhaps a snarky comment or selfish act later leads to us hurting the ones we love and our own destruction, what would we do differently? What if?Continue reading “Better”

Life Is Beautiful

By: Gabriela Yareliz The film Life is Beautiful by Roberto Benigni is a film about a father’s love to mask the horrors of the Holocaust into a sort of game for his son, where the winner will take home a military tank. One sees the father do all sorts of things to bring comedy andContinue reading “Life Is Beautiful”

True Love’s Kiss

By: Gabriela Yareliz True love’s kiss is not just a song by Amy Adams in the movie Enchanted. Though the movie is phenomenal. There is the jaded, divorced father, the young believing daughter and this wacky, innocent princess character that enters their lives. Spoiler alert, the opposites attract and fall in love. Ahh, what isContinue reading “True Love’s Kiss”
