Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. So far, it has been like a page ripped out of Dante’s “Inferno.” I am still waiting for the Divine Comedy element. Kidding. Here is some inspiration for those of you feeling just as dizzy about this week:        “The heights by great men reached and kept wereContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: December 15, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #53

By: Gabriela Yareliz I just finished a spoonful of cocoa almond butter, and I am trying to think, but it feels like there is a broken record playing in my head.

Friday Glee: December 11, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz I met a beautiful, elderly lady on the train today. Some dancers were performing to Justin Bieber’s song, “What do you mean?” We exchanged smiles.

Reflections Before Bedtime #51

By: Gabriela Yareliz Delilah just played “This Gift” by 98 Degrees. Nick Lachey greatness. I have realized that the more I live, the less I understand about how some things in life turn out. [Speaking of understanding, does anyone understand this album cover?] Some questions include: Why does it sound like only older white peopleContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #51”

Reflections Before Bedtime #50

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, our thoughts get tangled like string, and the spool keeps running until it finds a wall that stops it.
