Rich

Mindful News is right— we are rich. We lead a charmed life. “My hot water works on a dime, my a/c works when I need it too, I can go to any grocery store and purchase what I please to eat, I have a clean kitchen to cook in, I have a clean shower toContinue reading “Rich”

How Does This Play Out?

“Wealth, to me, is discernment.” Mari Fonseca By: Gabriela Yareliz We are entering uncharted territory. We arrived here strongly during the pandemic, and we are still watching this unfold. What happens when independent media presents hard facts— names, resumes, photos, first-hand personal testimony from people in the positions to know (many personally asked to breakContinue reading “How Does This Play Out?”

On the Other Side of the Trade

By: Gabriela Yareliz Chris Kreider and Jacob Trouba (former Rangers Captain) were welcomed back into MSG, as they arrived to play against (and slay) their former team (the NY Rangers) with the Anaheim Ducks. These two trades were among the most controversial, in recent time, steeped in drama from the players to the fans. TheContinue reading “On the Other Side of the Trade”

The Seeker is Honored

“When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceedingly great joy.” Matthew 2:10 By: Gabriela Yareliz There are many narratives to the holiday season. There are different focal points, and reminders along the way. I believe those points of focus reveal a lot about those who celebrate and the values they cherish. We internalize theseContinue reading “The Seeker is Honored”

You Keep Your Choice

By: Gabriela Yareliz In a time where discernment is everything (so seeking God’s wisdom is paramount), we decide whether we stay in darkness. Scripture illustrates often how those who choose blindness, darkness, and pride are permitted by God to keep it. If you choose blindness, you will get to stay blind. If you choose toContinue reading “You Keep Your Choice”

Waiting

By: Gabriela Yareliz Waiting has been a theme recently. I think my whole week of Glorify App devotionals were about waiting. Then, I heard the sermon Fourteen, about waiting and the transformation in the journey. We have Christmas coming up, which is filled with much anticipation and waiting. It reminds us we are waiting forContinue reading “Waiting”

A Dash of Anticipation

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am on a ghost train. A ghost train is one that does not appear on any of the apps and systems. The train that arrives and confuses all platformed passengers when the board says the next train arrives in 14 minutes. The board tells you delays. Reality tells you it hasContinue reading “A Dash of Anticipation”

The Real

By: Gabriela Yareliz As the holidays arrive, one thing I know for certain— so many of us crave nostalgic vibes. We crave the safety and comfort of the past. Its simplicity and partnering maximalism. Everything these days feels so minimalistic and beige. It lacks character. Everything ends up looking the same. But we want theContinue reading “The Real”

A Boat Appeared

“There’s something very deep here. How do we endure pain? How do we transcend it? We turn it into art.” Steven Pressfield, Govt Cheese By: Gabriela Yareliz There is a book I have been thinking about since February 2023. I bought it, and it is filled with short standalone chapters that sort of build onContinue reading “A Boat Appeared”

This Week’s Update

By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were, J and me, memorizing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj for our law school clinic’s talent show/ karaoke night in this tiny basement establishment in Greenwich Village. I can still rap parts of it. This week, I was heartened to see the greatest female rapper of our time address theContinue reading “This Week’s Update”
