“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life. We envision what we want our lives to look like at the end, and then, we work backwards from there. Michael Bosstick, Lauryn’s husband, said on theirContinue reading “Plan for the End”

Affirmation
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s another morning commute gone to bust. We are held in a station where there is a fire, and it’s actively being investigated. They are holding us HERE. Make it make sense. They are literally holding open the doors to “clear” the smoke (aka have us breathe it in). Nothing moves. WeContinue reading “Affirmation”
Carousel of Lessons
By: Gabriela Yareliz My coach says that if we don’t learn a lesson, it repeats itself in our lives until we do. I am not sure if I believe that. I think life just happens. I do think that we can create the same patterns and reactions if we aren’t intentional, but even when weContinue reading “Carousel of Lessons “
October 2024 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz October started with a desperate scramble for relief for those who survived Hurricane Helene. I was gathering resources to share. MANNA Food Bank and Samaritan’s Purse were my favorite on-the-ground helpers. People in the affected regions still need our help. We watched the Vice President debate and thought Vance was Jim Halpert-ingContinue reading “October 2024 Favorites”

It happens. We are human. Internal safety has been a concept I have been exploring through my coaching program (God blessContinue reading “Not the Same”
The Power of ‘No’
By: Gabriela Yareliz Do you have any idea how many times I have said ‘no’? When people and circumstances said I was stuck— no. When some encouraged me to not pursue higher education— no. When they told me I wasn’t qualified— no. When people tried to manipulate me by calling me a ‘bad (fill inContinue reading “The Power of ‘No’”
Peace is the Key
By: Gabriela Yareliz As I’ve expanded my learning in biohacking and self-experimentation for health, one thing has become a highlight. I have realized that for many health goals, whether it is lowering glucose, lowering stress, burning fat and/or balancing hormones, most of these things start with a question– “How can I make my body feelContinue reading “Peace is the Key”
Covered
By: Gabriela Yareliz Every day, we have the opportunity to pray over people and quite literally change the course of their lives. See, prayer gives God and heavenly angels the permission to intervene in lives where maybe that person has closed the door to it (or they aren’t intentionally seeking it). Our requests are honored.Continue reading “Covered”
Morning Trains
By: Gabriela Yareliz Here we are speeding toward the Times Square train station, which is a non-stop circus. Each corner curiously serves a different genre of music. I heard an old black man sing “Stand By Me,” better than the original (as I ran past him); a man singing and dancing salsa with an enviableContinue reading “Morning Trains”
