“She always had something to say. Maybe too much to say. She had many flaws and wore them like a badge of honor. And when she was down, she got right back up. She was a beast in her own way, but one idea described her best. She was unstoppable…” @kushaalagband Sunday night, my people. AnotherContinue reading “Sunday Girl: August 27, 2017”

Sunday Throwback: Vulnerability
This post was drafted last Sunday. I never got around to posting it, so here we go: By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday was such a lovely day, filled with worship, gardens and long walks.

Monday Inspiration: August 14, 2017
When I was thinking about what to share today, I couldn’t quite string words together to describe all the pain, hatred and horrific events we witnessed this weekend.

Sunday Girl: June 18, 2017
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Father’s Day to all the papas out there! We are starting a new week! Last week, I celebrated one year with my love, and I ate a giant artichoke for the first time.
