By: Gabriela Yareliz I love to try things. I am a curious raccoon, if you will. There are types of supplements where I have tried them all. 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”

Words for the Silence
By: Gabriela Yareliz Two out of my three trains are on time. I am overcoming my shock. As I do that, I continue to reflect on a passage in scripture that deeply moved me this week. You know, sometimes, you are in a weird season. You feel surrounded by an environment you could do without.Continue reading “Words for the Silence”
Wisteria
By: Gabriela Yareliz My husband has a green thumb. He is currently planting seeds into trays. I just pop up by the table to sniff the soil (I like the smell of soil), and then, disappear. He plants. I read about plants. I recently read about Wisteria. Apparently, the meaner you are to Wisteria, theContinue reading “Wisteria”
Planting Your Garden
“So plant your own gardens and decorate your own soul, instead of waiting for someone to bring you flowers.” Jorge Luis Borges By: Gabriela Yareliz I heard recently that when people dislike you, it serves as a reminder that if everyone liked you, you would be more reliant on the opinions of others. It’s a humanContinue reading “Planting Your Garden”
The Feminine
“In the ’70s, my mother gave me a print that read: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bicycle. After 25 years of marriage, I couldn’t disagree more.” Larissa Phillips By: Gabriela Yareliz I read Larissa Phillips’ The Free Press piece with intrigue, as I am sure many of us did. IfContinue reading “The Feminine”

Six Months
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep coming across this thought— six months. Where will we be in six months? Anything is possible. Your current circumstance is not permanent. Today, no matter what you are going through, I urge you to take care of yourself, and do something that nourishes your spirit. When things get hard, rememberContinue reading “Six Months”
Thoughts for March
“There are no traffic jams on the extra mile.” Zig Ziglar By: Gabriela Yareliz One learns this pretty quickly if one is paying attention in life. As Sahil Bloom says, “Talent and intelligence are abundant. Courage is not.” (I am not sure I agree intelligence is abundant, but we will give Sahil a pass). AsContinue reading “Thoughts for March”
Nobel
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alfred Nobel is known for the Nobel Peace Prize— the Swedish chemist also invented dynamite. ⚡️ Perhaps lasting peace is only possible by those willing and ready to create a destructive explosion— maybe this is the only way it has integrity. Otherwise, it is just cowardice or an inability to act withContinue reading “Nobel”
Wrestling
By: Gabriela Yareliz “If you believe you can completely map your partner, then you do not really know that person. […] A real relationship is a wrestling match; it is a grappling phenomenon from which you both emerge transformed.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson The truth is none of us is static. We are ever evolvingContinue reading “Wrestling”
