“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell By: Gabriela Yareliz Our path is one we need to clear. That requires making decisions. Choices. I think the world is full of people who are afraid to take ownership of their decisions because they don’t trust they can make theContinue reading “The Path is Paved By Choices”

The Essential for the Pilgrimage
“Chronos is time at her worst. Chronos keeps track. Chronos is delusion of grandeur…. Kairos is intimacy with the real. Kairos is time at her best. Kairos lets go.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Time and growth. There has been an insistent pattern in my reading about both lately. The theme has been aboutContinue reading “The Essential for the Pilgrimage”
Forgiveness
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them.” Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray By: Gabriela Yareliz You know what a fun nostalgic watch is for me? Just Shoot Me! Nina Van Horn is forever an icon. I have been rewatching with my husband inContinue reading “Forgiveness”
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop. That’s a profound question. We so often do things from our false self and ego— but what does loveContinue reading “The Right Question”
Narrowed

So I’ll ask you: how many times have you already died? And maybe… the next chapter of your growth is waiting for you on the other side of theContinue reading “The Violence of Growth”
True Love
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is an elderly Asian couple that rides the morning train with me. The man has a walker with wheels that turns into a seat. He moves slowly. His wife always holds him firmly but gently, and sometimes, kisses his face under his baseball cap. Her arm is always around him. IContinue reading “True Love”
Noise, Despacito
“You need to build a mausoleum in your head with big iron doors so that nobody can get in there except you. You don’t let me in there, you don’t let June in there, you don’t let your manager in there, you don’t let the record company people in there. You have to decide forContinue reading “Noise, Despacito”
