By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random. This year, I have begun the year here giving a small window into my thoughts. I think about a lot of random things all the time. IContinue reading “Revelation”

Theater
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn It’s a liar’s world. People look around and wonder what and who they can trust. It’s hard to know what you can believe. Even the smartest can be deceived. Things are twisted and pulled outContinue reading “Theater”
We Are All Fish
By: Gabriela Yareliz “We are all fish swimming in water most of us cannot see, and we need to be more humble, more curious, more aware of all that is around us.” Margi Conklin I loved this quote about life because it’s so true. As we start to understand that there is so little weContinue reading “We Are All Fish”
Plan for the End
“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life. We envision what we want our lives to look like at the end, and then, we work backwards from there. Michael Bosstick, Lauryn’s husband, said on theirContinue reading “Plan for the End”
Affirmation
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s another morning commute gone to bust. We are held in a station where there is a fire, and it’s actively being investigated. They are holding us HERE. Make it make sense. They are literally holding open the doors to “clear” the smoke (aka have us breathe it in). Nothing moves. WeContinue reading “Affirmation”
Carousel of Lessons
By: Gabriela Yareliz My coach says that if we don’t learn a lesson, it repeats itself in our lives until we do. I am not sure if I believe that. I think life just happens. I do think that we can create the same patterns and reactions if we aren’t intentional, but even when weContinue reading “Carousel of Lessons “
October 2024 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz October started with a desperate scramble for relief for those who survived Hurricane Helene. I was gathering resources to share. MANNA Food Bank and Samaritan’s Purse were my favorite on-the-ground helpers. People in the affected regions still need our help. We watched the Vice President debate and thought Vance was Jim Halpert-ingContinue reading “October 2024 Favorites”

Not the Same
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, life takes twists and turns that bring back emotions and thoughts that used to follow us around. We are triggered (for lack of a better word). We are like, this again? It happens. We are human. Internal safety has been a concept I have been exploring through my coaching program (God blessContinue reading “Not the Same”
The Power of ‘No’
By: Gabriela Yareliz Do you have any idea how many times I have said ‘no’? When people and circumstances said I was stuck— no. When some encouraged me to not pursue higher education— no. When they told me I wasn’t qualified— no. When people tried to manipulate me by calling me a ‘bad (fill inContinue reading “The Power of ‘No’”
