You are divine. You came from the light and are a magnificent creation. Perfection. A miracle that breathes. That stands against gravity, on only 2 feet. A majestic symphony of orchestrated cellular processes. There’s only one of you with your mind, your heart, and your dreams. There’s only one of you who can write the incredible chapters of your life, at times similar, but never the same as the rest.     You are created from the...]]></description><link>https://www.gabrielagrbic.com/post/you-are-divine</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a454687152870d6d4b147d9</guid><pubDate>Sat, 13 Jun 2026 13:09:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/11062b_735a34726eb64df29a56b30b60fe2db8/480p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Gabriela Guardia de Grbic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Loosening the knot.]]></title><description><![CDATA[Figuratively speaking, the only way to loosen a knot is to let go of the tension.  How long can we hold the urge to cry, for example? We distract ourselves to avoid feeling the pain or the discomfort. We put up a facade for the rest of the world because the "world" needs us to look, feel, and act better. But what if we take it down a notch? What if we lose the grip around our throat? What if we say what we want to say, and not just think it? What if we find a way to release?  So yesterday I...]]></description><link>https://www.gabrielagrbic.com/post/loosening-the-knot</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a454687152870d6d4b147d8</guid><pubDate>Wed, 06 May 2026 14:31:47 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/11062b_830709c744404d6ea7a10dcfd88e3a48/480p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Gabriela Guardia de Grbic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is nuts.]]></title><description><![CDATA[It has been a while since I posted here. I have been busy with life. It never ceases to surprise me. All the ups and downs are a seesaw that carries me, giving me knots in my stomach at times. When I am up, I can see the light, and I feel the adrenaline accelerating my pulse, but when I am down, it shuts my system down. What I have to remember is that it never stays one way or another. The rhythm is never the same, even if I try hard, it is ruled by different energy each time. But the calm...]]></description><link>https://www.gabrielagrbic.com/post/life-is-nuts</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a454687152870d6d4b147d7</guid><pubDate>Sun, 22 Feb 2026 14:42:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="http://video.wixstatic.com/video/11062b_44a48dd0e9d043c8a1c1837e9dfeee8d/480p/mp4/file.mp4" length="0" type="video"/><dc:creator>Gabriela Guardia de Grbic</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a no-brainer......]]></title><description><![CDATA[It's been a few months since my last post. I have been writing here and there on pieces of paper, post-its, and even napkins. I have been trying to organize my thoughts. Usually, at the end of my doodles, there is a bit more of a concise concept. Doubts and second-guesses are part of my norm while writing. My doubts kick in when I remember things like these. English is my second language, people want to read fun facts, maybe I will put someone to sleep at night while they read my blog.
