Monday Inspiration: October 12, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Ready for Monday? I am not sure how I am feeling about Monday. Mondays can be pretty numbing. Anyway, here we are at another week. We are heading straight into knee-deep October.

Some cried and begged their parents not to leave them, others seemed to confidently go in the direction of new friends. Do you remember, back in theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #38”

Reflections Before Bedtime #37

By: Gabriela Yareliz Getting told to sit down; sitting in a stolen chair; going up and down many flights of stairs (my butt is looking great); eavesdropping; talking in a press conference– all in a day’s work, my friends. The temperatures are playfully hinting at the days to come. The future is bright and surprising.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #37”
