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”

This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26
A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”
Reflections on an Equation
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is no good greater than God’s presence. And so much of life becomes a question of what evil, and sometimes what mediocre, lesser good are we willing to surrender for the greatest good of all— to see His face. To stand in His presence for eternity and to worship. So muchContinue reading “Reflections on an Equation”
Seek Him Now
“Seek the LORD while he may be found; call upon him while he is near;” Isaiah 55:6 By: Gabriela Yareliz The verse above has been stirring in my mind for some weeks now. I feel this internal urgency.

Tio Freddy
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was a child, I loved a Sabbath lunch at my Uncle (tio) Freddy’s house. His house was a magical and mysterious one. Each room had a theme and color scheme. The blue room with the lamps with beaded fringe was my favorite. The red bathroom was my favorite one. ThereContinue reading “Tio Freddy”
Responsibility
“I am responsible,” are the most important words that will reverberate through our minds. Therein lies so much power.
This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
This Week’s Favorites 07.02.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s America’s birthday week. Let’s gooooo! I love a good birthday. Always. This week was a busy one. I felt like I was in two places at once, working across time zones and stupidity. The southern heat was an intense one, and I am not one to complain about heat. On oneContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.02.26”

Prayer PSA
This is your prayer PSA. I loved reading this as my devotional. A beautiful reminder: “Prayer in Acts is never polite or passive. It’s the mechanism by which ordinary, frightened people access an extraordinary, unshakable God. So, where are you feeling the pressure today? Rather than strategizing, spiraling, or scheming, what if prayer was yourContinue reading “Prayer PSA”
