By: Gabriela Yareliz (inspired by a talk by Sarah May B. and lots of introspection) Hello and happy Monday. I am learning (or trying to learn) more about communication. (How is that for a direct opening?) You start to care more about growing in painful areas when you know you love someone so much thatContinue reading “College of Communication”

Ma
By: Gabriela Yareliz Reading Ashley Graham’s memoir made it clear to me that her mom was a critical part of not only her life, but also her success. If I were to write a book on my life, I know my mom would very much be in the dead center of my story. My momContinue reading “Ma”
New Balance
By: Gabriela Yareliz Let’s call this the year of finding balance. Let’s. Or maybe, the year I learned that every year is a year of finding balance. I am realizing (as naive as it may sound), that each year brings its own unique set of scales. Balance looks different as life continues to pass usContinue reading “New Balance”
Raw
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, I get upset with parts of myself when they react a certain way, or when I feel vulnerable and raw in my emotions. I am learning to manage certain parts of me, in a better way. Sometimes, giving yourself permission is a step and accomplishment, in and of itself. I amContinue reading “Raw”
Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017
“Don’t miss this. This is the heart of Christianity. This is what sets our faith off from all other major religions. Our God does not need our service, nor is He glorified by recruits who want to help Him out. Our God is so full and so self-sufficient and so overflowing in power and lifeContinue reading “Wednesday Inspiration: May 10, 2017”
What is love?
Love is staying.
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”
Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017
[Image from Tumblr] By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Sunday morning to you! French election, round one, kicks off. I need to find a minute today and whip out some stationery and write to Madame about our election concerns. I think I will wait until I see who dominated in this premier tour. Participation is atContinue reading “Sunday Girl: April 23, 2017”
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”
