Friday Glee: October 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time for another week. It will bring its ups, downs and standstills. Sometimes, time seems to go fast and slow and then disappear altogether. It’s cold here now; winter coats, heater drying contact lenses and ear pain. Ahhh… A taste of winter for the soul. This weekend, I had a lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015”

Sunday Girl: October 18, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Figure out what it is you want and fight, fight, fight for it. Maybe, a lot of things in life are about seeing how far we are willing to go for something.

Reflections Before Bedtime #42

Many times, things aren’t what they seem, and people aren’t who they project themselves to be. We hide behind masks and large sunglasses–hoping no oneContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #42”

A Goethe Moment

By: Gabriela Yareliz The perfect message for a tough week that has no end in sight. “I have come to the frightening conclusion that I am the decisive element. It is my personal approach that creates the climate. It is my daily mood that makes the weather. I possess tremendous power to make life miserableContinue reading “A Goethe Moment”

Reflections Before Bedtime #41

By: Gabriela Yareliz “I am poor, but if I see eggnog, I will buy some.” It’s night. There is a full moon covered in a frosting made of fog. My limbs are aching after an extremely long and delightful walk. Today was beautiful. Walking is like a drug for me. It was a great dayContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #41”
