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. Coaching has affirmed my desire for expansion and growth. It feeds my little hungry caterpillar soul. I won’t lie, that sometimes, we feel afraid andContinue reading “Notes from my Coaching Journal”

The Unfinished Attic
By: Gabriela Yareliz The current dropping temperatures and howling wind remind me of winter as a kid. I would take my favorite Christmas catalog and set a cushion or pillow by the heater vent on the floor (old Northern houses), and I would bring a blanket and get cozy and read. Every girl or dollContinue reading “The Unfinished Attic”
Daring to be Alive
By: Gabriela Yareliz There has been so much pain and heaviness this month. I have wanted to come close and write but have sort of been at a loss for words. The attack on Israel on October 7 was horrific to watch. Hostages are still being held and away from their loved ones. I couldContinue reading “Daring to be Alive”
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”
Bigger
By: Gabriela Yareliz “‘Aslan,’ said Lucy, ‘you’re bigger.’ ‘That’s is because you are older, little one,’ he answered. ‘Not because you are?’ ‘I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.’” Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis I loved this passage from C.S. Lewis. It made me reflect on how God is alwaysContinue reading “Bigger”

Embrace the healing hand of grief, bear its weight as long as you need to, but find solace in the knowing that the pain and sorrow you are feeling are proof that you have known something sacred; that theContinue reading “April 2023 Favorites”
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”
Fixated on Hope
This holy silent Sabbath on Easter weekend has a powerful message for us all. This morning, I heard a priest say, “We must look at the cross and dare to find beauty in it.” Not only should we look at Christ’s cross and find beauty in it, but we should look at our own crossContinue reading “Fixated on Hope”
The Choice of Rest
Jane Austen wrote in Persuasion (my favorite book of hers) that “None of us want to be in calm waters all our lives.” The truth is, while this may be true for some, some of us are desperately seeking calm waters because it feels like we have been in that boat the disciples find themselvesContinue reading “The Choice of Rest”
