By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, my people! On Friday, I spent a good amount of time fighting with my umbrella in torrential rains. Thank God I wear shorts under my skirts because the wind was looking for its next Marilyn. By the end of the day, I looked like I had walked through hurricane Joaquin– hair-in-mouthContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 5, 2015”

#Mood Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz Autumn makes me feel like I am stuck in an episode of Gilmore Girls; in an eternal autumn. Luke’s Diner, anyone? It makes me feel like I am in some time warp, in a classic 90s movie where NYC is dressed for the holidays. It’s that feeling of drinking tea with aContinue reading “#Mood Autumn”
Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015
“Little boy, if you tell me something God can do, I will give you this shiny apple,” a Bible teacher said to his best student. “Sir, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I will give you a whole barrel of apples,” the boy said. (Paraphrase from Dr. Tony Evans). “Obedience precedes blessings.”Continue reading “Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #41
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I am poor, but if I see eggnog, I will buy some.” It’s night. There is a full moon covered in a frosting made of fog. My limbs are aching after an extremely long and delightful walk. Today was beautiful. Walking is like a drug for me. It was a great dayContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #41”
Monday Inspiration: September 21, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz As I am writing this, it is still dark outside. I can see the bridge lights twinkling. My hair is wet and curling into an untamable mess. This week, two of my dear friends turned a year older, Liz and Feliz. It’s crazy when you start calculating time, and you realize howContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 21, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s Monday! (Partytime music in background). I hope you are ready to conquer your week. The weekend was nice.

By: Gabriela Yareliz Note: This is in no way a deep or serious discussion; it’s just a braindump. Is anyone else excited to see who Jane will be marrying in season 2 of ‘Jane the Virgin’? October, come quickly. Reveal to us your mysteries. While Michael is sweet and close to perfection, everyone saw himContinue reading “#TeamRafael”
Sunday Girl: September 13, 2015

Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz September glory days are here. I am sitting here in a cozy but loud coffee shop. A sweet guy tried to tell a zany writer not to get more shots of espresso because it was bad for her, and I am here drinking a green juice whose taste of celery is waaayyyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015”
The Certainty
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are many things in life we are uncertain about. Many times, we just have to learn to cope. Hebrews chapter 6, however, tells us about the certainty of God’s promises. It tells us that God made a promise to Abraham, “and thus Abraham, having patiently waited, obtained the promise.” (v. 15).Continue reading “The Certainty”
