Ownership
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was watching Vanessa Fitzgerald’s stories as she was on a walk. She was explaining to those of us on the other side of the camera that she had felt sort of in a funk. She then said something along the lines of, “We always find something to blame, but I knewContinue reading “Ownership”
Thought to Action
By: Gabriela Yareliz Follow every negative thought with a positive action, Erwin McManus said explaining one of his key practices. This is a key to growth and rewiring. This is how we train our brain. It will learn to expect the positive follow-up to the negative trigger. This made me wonder how our lives wouldContinue reading “Thought to Action”
Cultivating Identity
By: Gabriela Yareliz I know someone (who I admire) who is almost 80 and refuses to retire. Now, I do think this person has a sense of calling and vocation. They love what they do.

As a kid, I would write 15Continue reading “Dreamer DNA”
Words for the Silence
By: Gabriela Yareliz Two out of my three trains are on time. I am overcoming my shock. As I do that, I continue to reflect on a passage in scripture that deeply moved me this week. You know, sometimes, you are in a weird season. You feel surrounded by an environment you could do without.Continue reading “Words for the Silence”

Wishing you all the best (but mostly therapy).” Cara Alwill By: Gabriela Yareliz I can hear Fergie’s Big Girls Don’t Cry being blasted by myContinue reading “Necessary People”
