By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, I forget my life is just beginning. I forget that I am a perfectionist and that truly, I don’t have everything figured out, and that is okay. It’s when I remind myself of this that my breathing turns normal, and I realize my ponytail is so tight my younger self wouldContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #44”

Reflections Before Bedtime #42
[Image from @PatriciaManfield. This photo just says, “Boss.”] By: Gabriela Yareliz They say a photo is worth a thousand words. It seems that these days we live off of illusions. Many times, things aren’t what they seem, and people aren’t who they project themselves to be. We hide behind masks and large sunglasses–hoping no oneContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #42”
Reflections Before Bedtime #41
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I am poor, but if I see eggnog, I will buy some.” It’s night. There is a full moon covered in a frosting made of fog.

The temperatures are playfully hinting at the days to come. The future is bright and surprising.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #37”
Reflections Before Bedtime #36
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we don’t perceive exactly when life, as we know it, changes. We know an alteration after-the-fact though, because we feel that something inside of us has changed. Something we can’t explain; we can only live it out.
Reflections Before Bedtime #35
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when we are making an important decision, we sit and weigh our options. I do this a lot. In the light of the current decision I must make, Moses came to mind. Hebrews 11:23-29English Standard Version (ESV) 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents,Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #35”
