Monday Inspiration: November 30, 2015

The Hutchcast (2015) By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a new week, and you can accomplish anything. This past weekend was a refreshing time with family and friends. I hope you ate yummy food like I did. My amazing family also had a surprise waiting for me–eggnog! Yes! The nog! So, those of you who know IContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 30, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This will be a simple, no-frill post. I don’t have too much to say. I know. Rare. Maybe that is a lie, though. We’ll see how long this post ends up being. This weekend was pretty introspective. Apparently, I appreciate the art of making myself uncomfortable. So, after a weekend of lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 23, 2015”

Sunday Girl: November 22, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever felt like everything you have worked for and everything you hold dear is hanging by a thread? I needed this today: “Hello fear, Thank you for being here. You’re my indication that I’m doing what I need to do.” Cheryl Strayed, Brave Enough  

Monday Inspiration: November 16, 2015

(The hilarious Fran Fine). By: Gabriela Yareliz The 90s were good to us. For some reason, cassette tapes came to mind. I used to make a lot of tapes, with many songs recorded right off of the radio by boombox or walkman. It was a moment of excitement when your song would come on, andContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 16, 2015”

Douce France

By: Gabriela Yareliz Tonight at church, we had an amazing spoken word and music night. I heard the music and testimony of a young man who found God, hope and music in the midst of his chemotherapy and anguish. He was so vulnerable with us tonight. It was beautiful. Tonight, we were pained to hearContinue reading “Douce France”

Happy Week: November 8, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz A new week begins, again.The pharmacy looks like a Christmas wonderland. I was walking through Little Italy, and there are already ‘Merry Christmas’ light banners shimmering in the night above the streets. Still no sign of eggnog, anywhere. This is frustrating, but anyway… This weekend was a good weekend. I saw oldContinue reading “Happy Week: November 8, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: November 2, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz On Sunday, the NYC Marathon sliced my neighborhood in half. I kept wondering how I would make it to the other side. Then, when I needed to cross, the runners were gone and so were the barricades. Isn’t that how we spend most of our time? Worrying about things that will runContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 2, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 26, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Monday eve to you. Where are you going this week? I took a walk today. The neighborhood smells like leaves and bonfires. I forgot what sweet therapy walking is for the soul. I think this week it’ll be time to take the camera out for a spin to document theContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 26, 2015”

Friday Glee: October 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time for another week. It will bring its ups, downs and standstills. Sometimes, time seems to go fast and slow and then disappear altogether. It’s cold here now; winter coats, heater drying contact lenses and ear pain. Ahhh… A taste of winter for the soul. This weekend, I had a lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015”
