Florida Heat
By: Gabriela Yareliz Even if two teams play brilliantly, only one wins. There will always be someone who falls second. Even if it’s barely second in a game that goes into overtime. (Overtime is something we can talk about later— life sometimes feels like an OT. You are exhausted, but still in the game, fightingContinue reading “Florida Heat”
Only the Brave
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved this message from Erwin McManus. It was a powerful reminder of the call to courage, and the role our measure of courage plays in laying hold of the life God can help us achieve. The interesting thing is courage is a decision. It is up to us. The message isContinue reading “Only the Brave”

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. But this brought me to thinking— how many of us are on track to do the same because we failContinue reading “Cultivating Identity”
Forget the Restaurant
By: Gabriela Yareliz People say that if you want a read on someone’s character (to date or work with, for example), go to a restaurant with them. See how they treat the waiter, they say. Please— anyone can pretend through a meal. I have seen enough fake people to last me a lifetime, especially inContinue reading “Forget the Restaurant”
The Real Real

The language learning platforms— I have basically tried them all. Something else I have tried a bunch of are fitness platforms. I have talked about this in theContinue reading “The Real Real”
