Asked for a Sign

And got it. By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I heard Dr. Edie speak, and her words touched my heart. Deeply. I went out for a walk, and I had that warm feeling— that feeling when you go, I think God just spoke to me just now. It stayed on my mind.

By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway.

This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”
