What the End Looks Like
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maundy Thursday and Good Friday. What does this time remind us of? Even when we are confused, God is doing His thing. Our confusion doesn’t mean a plan is halted. The disciples thought the world had gone insane. Jesus was right on track. He knew exactly what He was walking into. Sometimes,Continue reading “What the End Looks Like”
Some Thursday Inspiration
“Time is a liar. Stop letting the calendar tell you what’s possible. It doesn’t know who you are. It has no clue what’s still alive for you. Culture measures age in years. It tells us to grow older and grow up. To be reasonable. To trade aliveness for safety. But maturity is not measured byContinue reading “Some Thursday Inspiration”

“Bradley Cooper: Don’t you think if we’re doing our jobs properly, everything’s autobiographical? Guillermo Del Toro: People say, ‘Oh, you identify with the creature.’ In the past, yes. Now I identify with the creator. I’m the antagonist of my own story, as well as the protagonist.” On Frankenstein (Source) By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard somewhere that nothingContinue reading “Creation”

A Boat Appeared
“There’s something very deep here. How do we endure pain? How do we transcend it? We turn it into art.” Steven Pressfield, Govt Cheese By: Gabriela Yareliz There is a book I have been thinking about since February 2023.

Before Goop There Was My Mom
By: Gabriela Yareliz Before I was obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow, and before I found the article on Goop that changed my life— there was my mom, my original health influencer. In every house we had, my mom created a garden (not just flowers but food). She has always been a nature person. I think sheContinue reading “Before Goop There Was My Mom”
