Reflections Before Bedtime #26

By: Gabriela Yareliz Walking around here is like walking through a thick stew. It’s warm, thick and pretty much spicy. It’s the land where seashells crackle under our feet, where lizards come out to greet us, and where the sky, even after sunset, is drop-dead gorgeous. We almost envy the stars.

I think that we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make thingsContinue reading “Tough Stuff”

Cinderella, My Soul Sister

By: Gabriela Yareliz Life can be slightly upsetting, euphoric, complicated and interesting. I was glancing at my iPad screen. I added the Bar review app, and all the little icons moved around. Everything is slightly different. It’s interesting how something small can be something big; and how this small-big thing can change everything, even ifContinue reading “Cinderella, My Soul Sister”

Stopping and Starting

I want to start living life at another level. It’s easy to see people who have “madeContinue reading “Stopping and Starting”

Friday Glee: March 6, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, I earned the title of detective. The weeks get more intense as they pass by; something that seems impossible until it happens. BUT–it’s Friday. Time to celebrate. The Sabbath has come as an oasis to rescues us from a weird vortex that swallows us. Have some blessed rest. Time to dropContinue reading “Friday Glee: March 6, 2015”
