By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the piece on Annie Dillard’s life and recent death. It made me think a lot about writing. About life. How many hours does any of us have left? We spend so much time in unconscious living; engaging in habits and actions we do on autopilot. How much conscious lifeContinue reading “Broadax”

Back to School
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s back-to-school season. It’s in the air, thick, in NYC because suddenly the trains are packed, and I write this smashed up against a set of train car doors. The keedz are back. FOMO and nostalgic joy take over as we see the footage of game days around the South— college footballContinue reading “Back to School”
Lavish with Beauty
“God is lavish with beauty.” Dr. Edie Wadsworth When we look at nature, we see that God was generous with the amount of beauty He put in the world for us. Dr. Edie reminded us this week that beauty is not a reward, but it is a need that we are hardwired for. It’s somethingContinue reading “Lavish with Beauty”
Grace for the Pilgrimage
“Because the Christian life isn’t just a beautiful beginning. It’s a pilgrimage. There are stretches of joy, but there’s also struggle, weariness, temptation, and moments when everything in us wants to turn back. That’s why remaining in Christ requires perseverance. It requires remembering, again and again, where the journey began: in grace. It was graceContinue reading “Grace for the Pilgrimage”

Asked for a Sign
And got it. By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I heard Dr. Edie speak, and her words touched my heart. Deeply. I went out for a walk, and I had that warm feeling— that feeling when you go, I think God just spoke to me just now. It stayed on my mind. Sometimes, we are faced withContinue reading “Asked for a Sign”
This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway. Yesterday, I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, sorted through cans and refreshed extermination tools. I am satisfied with what I accomplished this week. This week, we lost many people, including the legendaryContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26”
No Skipping
“People skip the parts of themselves they’re not ready to face. They avoid the very things that, once they’re willing to face them, open the door to profound growth. Those are the things that ultimately lead to healthier relationships, a happier life, and a lighter relationship with yourself. But because they’re uncomfortable, people keep skippingContinue reading “No Skipping”
This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26
A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”
The Games Men Play
By: Gabriela Yareliz The news coming out of Ceuta, Spain is disturbing and eerily similar to scenes the U.S. border experienced in the past presidential administration. Borders overrun— and not by women and children or even families— no, by military age men. I have seen videos of local women crying and displaying an emotion thatContinue reading “The Games Men Play”
