“There are a thousand ways to upset people. And the maddening thing is that most of them are completely beyond my control. And that’s why I’ve chosen to be delusional.” Garance Doré That quote is from Doré’s latest piece above, Don’t Let Them.

A beautiful message by Erwin McManus on advancing forward.
This Week’s Favorites 10.24.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve reached the end of October. The days start in the low 50s and end in the 70s. So hard to dress. I sweat through two jackets this week. I know I am always talking about sweating, but I don’t think I have sweat this much in my life like this year.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.24.26”
Wisdom from Tracy Tutor
Because sometimes you need to fight like a girl. By: Gabriela Yareliz I enjoyed Tracy Tutor’s Fear is Just a Four-Letter Word. It’s a great book on how to work with difficult people and succeed in difficult situations. I never saw her on reality TV and yet somehow, I landed in her orbit. She isContinue reading “Wisdom from Tracy Tutor”
This Week’s Favorites 10.16.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was unseasonably warm this week. Please, we do not want to regress into summer. I sweat more than I care to admit, this week.

The Duty for Weary Seasons

I can keep going. The practices of our faith, acts of perseverance and trust that may feel futile, are atContinue reading “The Duty for Weary Seasons”
Deepest Responsibility
My morning reading included this line from Sarah Ban Breathnach: “It is not only our right at certain times to say ‘no’; it is our deepest responsibility.” Sharing it here, in case you need it, too.
An Unvoiced Conversation
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maybe it’s because I am reading Strangers. Or maybe not. It could also be because I am me. I saw this young man walking down the street with his toddler who was waddling along in a puffy vest and long sleeve shirt, yesterday. The little boy was babbling on about something inContinue reading “An Unvoiced Conversation”
Soul Cure
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are weeks where we fall into old patterns of behavior, and we do not take proper care of ourselves. We all have them. This week, while sick no less, it was one of those weeks for me. I was doing my exercise routine but definitely overdid it at work. Falling backContinue reading “Soul Cure”
