#StormJonas

Gabriela Yareliz By: Gabriela Yareliz We thought autumn would be eternal in these parts, or at least we hoped it would be. Storm Jonas said, “Nah.” Autumn treated us well. Mild temperatures and pretty colors. I love this photo. Oh, how I love the moon! The storm ended up being a lot more impressive thanContinue reading “#StormJonas”

Reflections Before Bedtime #67

God did something amazing for a woman today, and I got to be the lucky one to break the good news. When I gave her the good news, she started crying. Sobs of gratitude. I was so moved by this. How many times do we look around and get overwhelmed by all that we have?Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #67”

Happy Week: January 24, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz We are thawing out, my people. The blizzard left us magnificent heaps of white glittery snow. I took a walk around my neighborhood today. Children were making bank. Adolescents were running around with shovels helping neighbors resurrect their cars.

Blizzard Update

By: Gabriela Yareliz 9:26 a.m.: Here I am, at home, on Sabbath, in a pink Minnie Mouse onesie and with Amal Clooney hair. Seriously.

“I would rather be what God chose to make me than the most glorious creature that I could think of; for to have been born in God’s thought and then made by God is the dearest, grandest, and most precious thing in all thinking.” C.S. Lewis [Image from Tumblr]

Reflections Before Bedtime #63

By: Gabriela Yareliz Close your eyes. Wait, not yet. Read this first, and then close your eyes… What does your dream life look like? Do you have a vision of what you dream of? You don’t have to have one, although, someone wise once said that without vision, people perish. How far or close areContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #63”

Monday Inspiration: January 11, 2016

By: Gabriela Yareliz New week! New start! This week has got to be better than last week; it can only go up from there. I hope that regardless of how your last week went, you are equally hopeful. It rained all last night and drizzled this morning. The terrace outside was a bit inundated withContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 11, 2016”
