Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”
All of It
“Fall in love and stay in love. Explode. Don’t intellectualize. Get passionate about ideas. Cram your head full of images… Stay off the internet and all that crap. Read all the great books. Read all the great poetry. See all the great films. Fill your life with metaphors. And then, explode.” Ray Bradbury
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop.

The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drainedContinue reading “The One Who Learns the Most”
Narrowed
I heard this quote recently that is a profound expression of truth: “Love eliminates options.” Andy Figueroa People make choices. Choosing is the most sacred thing we do. Love rules our choices, if we allow it to. And when it does, it eliminates options. I heard someone discussing this phrase in coaching. “How have youContinue reading “Narrowed”
Defining Leadership
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
Father
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alex Ikonn asked Asma Khan how she became a confident and secure woman filled with so much love; how she grew to have self-love. Her answer moved me. She said, “I believed my father.” No matter who your father is/was, what I find comforting is we have a Heavenly Father who hasContinue reading “Father”
“I Deserve This”
“I swore to God, make me that person. Make me so powerful that when a woman in her forties walks into a room, and they tell her, ‘Stay in your lane,’ she says my name. Even the ocean will know you arrived. That’s how you die. You die in that way; that the legacy thatContinue reading ““I Deserve This””
