By: Gabriela Yareliz As I’ve expanded my learning in biohacking and self-experimentation for health, one thing has become a highlight. I have realized that for many health goals, whether it is lowering glucose, lowering stress, burning fat and/or balancing hormones, most of these things start with a question– “How can I make my body feelContinue reading “Peace is the Key”

Covered
By: Gabriela Yareliz Every day, we have the opportunity to pray over people and quite literally change the course of their lives. See, prayer gives God and heavenly angels the permission to intervene in lives where maybe that person has closed the door to it (or they aren’t intentionally seeking it). Our requests are honored.Continue reading “Covered”
Photo of the Year
Calling this the photo of 2024. UNC-Chapel Hill frat bros hoisting and protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protestors while being pelted with water bottles, rocks and sticks. Hats off to the gentlemen. Nothing like a southern state school. Following this, money was raised for a frat rager. Name something more American. God bless America.Continue reading “Photo of the Year”
The Iconoclast Russell Brand
“Isn’t the point of religion for us to access an aspect of ourself that is connected to a force that allows us to discern moral truths that enable us to live well, materially? To have relationships with one another that are guided by principles other than spite, vengeance and vendetta. And ultimately, the most powerfulContinue reading “The Iconoclast Russell Brand”
Winter Lessons
Themes from today: 1. In a nutshell— what Marcus Aurelius said: “Comfort is the worst addiction.” 2. Miracles are everywhere. Truly. 3. “Change is the right danger to choose.” Erwin Raphael McManus 4. If the ending ain’t good, you haven’t reached the end yet. There is so much more than what meets the eye.
Pain, The Gift
Pain has a way of breaking us open, allowing space for us to see through the veneer at who we truly are. We grow numb to the world; cold like porcelain— but then, suddenly, pain reminds us we are alive. Pain strikes the nerve; its force and imposition felt like a live wire. Pain remindsContinue reading “Pain, The Gift”
Daring to be Alive
By: Gabriela Yareliz There has been so much pain and heaviness this month. I have wanted to come close and write but have sort of been at a loss for words. The attack on Israel on October 7 was horrific to watch. Hostages are still being held and away from their loved ones. I couldContinue reading “Daring to be Alive”
Where We Set Our Feet
“Anywhere God walks is not beneath us.” Stand Against the Wind, Erwin R. McManus I read this quote this morning, and it shook me. This will mean different things to different people, but it was such a reminder of the humility of Jesus, and not only in His earthly ministry, but the fact that, today,Continue reading “Where We Set Our Feet”
Icono Series: Brittany Aldean
In honor of Jason Aldean’s new hit, “Try That in a Small Town”, we feature his beautiful and statement-making wife, Brittany Aldean. She is hats, boots and fringe, with some bling on the side. [Images from @brittanyaldean] Some western flair with a hat… …also a little fringe… Some frosted pink lips… …a sweater that makesContinue reading “Icono Series: Brittany Aldean”
Bigger
By: Gabriela Yareliz “‘Aslan,’ said Lucy, ‘you’re bigger.’ ‘That’s is because you are older, little one,’ he answered. ‘Not because you are?’ ‘I am not. But every year you grow, you will find me bigger.’” Prince Caspian, C.S. Lewis I loved this passage from C.S. Lewis. It made me reflect on how God is alwaysContinue reading “Bigger”
