You know, sometimes, you are in a weird season. You feel surrounded by an environment you could do without.Continue reading “Words for the Silence”

Presence
By: Gabriela Yareliz I love when Mosaic is in NYC for worship. Every time I leave the gathering, I know I have been in God’s presence. Here is a rule of thumb for life always— when given the option to be in God’s presence, whether a church gathering or at home with your Bible, neverContinue reading “Presence”
Understanding
“But the fact is, most human beings have never done the work to understand themselves, heal their past, or manage their own emotions. If they haven’t done that for themselves, they are incapable of doing that for you and showing up in a way that you deserve.” Mel Robbins By: Gabriela Yareliz Life would beContinue reading “Understanding”
A Delusion That Propels
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Positive emotion moves you forward toward desired goals.” Jordan B Peterson Why be intentional with our emotions? Believe it or not, our emotions serve us almost like a flame.

Armor of the Brave
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reflecting on the following quote- which I think is from Peaky Blinders. Inspiring Irish gangsters.

When the world shows its teeth, snarling and ready to bite,Continue reading “Armor of the Brave”

Is it kind?Continue reading “Baseline”

As one of his chapters in Mind Shift is titled, “You Can’t Take Everyone With You.” We are ever evolving. We have to holdContinue reading “The Future You”
Santa Ana
By: Gabriela Yareliz Very little else has our attention— all eyes on the LA fires. (Unless you are the president, Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass). I was safe, warm and in my bed, going in and out of consciousness. Every time I was conscious, my mind was racing with prayers. I was filled with gratitudeContinue reading “Santa Ana”
Revelation
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random. This year, I have begun the year here giving a small window into my thoughts. I think about a lot of random things all the time. IContinue reading “Revelation”
