Lessons from Unburdened
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved Dorit Kemsley’s book, Unburdened. These were some highlights for me: “Resilience without boundaries can quietly become self-punishment. I had always believed pushing through was strength.” “I care deeply. That will never change. But caring no longer means absorbing. Loving no longer means overlooking. Supporting no longer means silencing myself.” “OnceContinue reading “Lessons from Unburdened”
The Duty for Weary Seasons
By: Gabriela Yareliz I finished reading Tish Harrison Warren’s book on resilience, What Grows in Weary Lands. It is a gem, as all her books are. It had takeaways such as: “But I can wait.

God in the Mess
I am reading a book that talks about a lot about parenting. Isn’t it odd that we aren’t given the ability to have children once we are older, wiser and are all set up in life, I thought. It all happens in a very messy stage of life. By: Gabriela Yareliz I was thinking aboutContinue reading “God in the Mess”

“All you need to do is look at what they are good at and get better than them.” Andy Frisella By: Gabriela Yareliz What if comparison makes us better? Yesterday, I saw some minutes of the women’s Olympic skiing. It was WILD. The speed, the way they are stacked in placement, and how one thingContinue reading “Are We Pacified?”
My 2025 Library

Virtue
On this July fourth, I leave you with some words from Ryan Holiday: “It’s July 4th, 1776. The Founding Fathers are about to make a very loud statement about freedom and independence. They will, over the next several bloody and bleak years, give nearly everything in order to will it-and a new nation-into existence. ButContinue reading “Virtue”
