Calling this the photo of 2024. UNC-Chapel Hill frat bros hoisting and protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protestors while being pelted with water bottles, rocks and sticks. Hats off to the gentlemen. Nothing like a southern state school. Following this, money was raised for a frat rager. Name something more American. God bless America.Continue reading “Photo of the Year”

Notes from my Coaching Journal
By: Gabriela Yareliz I wanted to share some snippets from some of my coaching journals. I am nearing my first full year of coaching, and I have learned so much.

The Unfinished Attic
By: Gabriela Yareliz The current dropping temperatures and howling wind remind me of winter as a kid.

Every girl or dollContinue reading “The Unfinished Attic”

Where We Set Our Feet
“Anywhere God walks is not beneath us.” Stand Against the Wind, Erwin R. McManus I read this quote this morning, and it shook me. This will mean different things to different people, but it was such a reminder of the humility of Jesus, and not only in His earthly ministry, but the fact that, today,Continue reading “Where We Set Our Feet”

The Gift
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I got in an Uber with a driver who was probably on FaceTime with someone because as I got into the car and buckled up, I heard a woman cough. He then coughed seconds later to cover it up. He wasn’t fooling anyone. I am not sure why he needed to.Continue reading “The Gift”
