Here, we take inspiration in Icono Blanca Padilla’s Hotel Copacabana spread for Harpers Bazaar Espana. [Images are from Harpers Bazaar Espana] Something that reminds us of hydration… …Something that reminds us of blue skies and water… Something cozy… …And something sparkly to block the sun… It’s all about the essentials… “Me gusta mucho ahondar enContinue reading “Icono Series: Blanca Padilla”

Bigger
By: Gabriela Yareliz “‘Aslan,’ said Lucy, ‘you’re bigger.’ ‘That’s is because you are older, little one,’ he answered. ‘Not because you are?’ ‘I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.’” Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis I loved this passage from C.S. Lewis. It made me reflect on how God is alwaysContinue reading “Bigger”
The Whisper
“Courage, dear heart.” C.S. Lewis
The Gift
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I got in an Uber with a driver who was probably on FaceTime with someone because as I got into the car and buckled up, I heard a woman cough.

It stirred my heart. “Above all, this is a story of my homecoming; the demons that are always holding me back and the legions of angels that keep me safe along the way; the way everythingContinue reading “Dazzled”
Waiting with Hope
“Therefore, we do not wait for the promise in despair but in hope. Hope, this glorious hope, rests in Jesus. As we consider His humble entrance into the world as a baby this Advent season, may we also eagerly await the day He returns in glory as King (Revelation 21:1-8). Like the Israelites rested forContinue reading “Waiting with Hope”
