“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””

Erasure
By: Gabriela Yareliz Candace Owens led an interesting discussion around the attempted erasure of ancestry. Cue the Cracker Barrel controversy. (Truly one of my favorite places to be. I heavily considered planning a wedding party there). “It’s a spiritual attack on the idea of ancestry. Nothing can be old. Everything must be new. They wantContinue reading “Erasure”
Books
“Books are as essential as breathing. In my experience, when going down for the third time, it was often word-to-word resuscitation that saved the day.” Sarah Ban Breathnach
All of It
“Fall in love and stay in love. Explode. Don’t intellectualize. Get passionate about ideas. Cram your head full of images… Stay off the internet and all that crap. Read all the great books. Read all the great poetry. See all the great films. Fill your life with metaphors. And then, explode.” Ray Bradbury
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop.

Defining Leadership
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
Father
By: Gabriela Yareliz Alex Ikonn asked Asma Khan how she became a confident and secure woman filled with so much love; how she grew to have self-love. Her answer moved me. She said, “I believed my father.” No matter who your father is/was, what I find comforting is we have a Heavenly Father who hasContinue reading “Father”
“I Deserve This”
“I swore to God, make me that person. Make me so powerful that when a woman in her forties walks into a room, and they tell her, ‘Stay in your lane,’ she says my name. Even the ocean will know you arrived. That’s how you die. You die in that way; that the legacy thatContinue reading ““I Deserve This””
The Violence of Growth
“Growth is violent like that. It doesn’t happen without endings. Without death. Without the parts of you that are clinging to control finally being ripped away. So I’ll ask you: how many times have you already died? And maybe… the next chapter of your growth is waiting for you on the other side of theContinue reading “The Violence of Growth”
