[Meet the hilarious, intelligent and flirty Farkle Minkus from Girl Meets World. Turns out there is a lot you can do with pen and paper. Some of the things we do with these two simple objects are what makes some of us feel the most alive.] Goal for the week: Let’s take out the headphones,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 3, 2014 (Farkle Edition)”

Sunday Girl
Soundtrack: “In my mind, it’s Sunday all the time.” By: Gabriela Yareliz So, my dream of a rainy [omitted: humid] November came true, except for the humid part, which was part of the request. Yesterday, rain drops pelted us like bullets. Cold, stinging rain. I guess you can’t have it all. (Grin). November is here, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl”
Camila Cabello
“These are the moments. These are the moments where you realize love is everywhere if you look closely. When you realize happiness isn’t next weekend, and it’s not last week, it’s right now. That was one of the best nights of my life. It felt good to know purpose. I lay in my bunk andContinue reading “Camila Cabello”
Harvesting in Life
By: Gabriela Yareliz; based on the quotes and message by Dr. Tony Evans, “Let it Work” ; [Sorry for the typos, I shudder when I find them]. It’s harvest season here. Upstate New York has an abundance of produce and crops; some people have apples coming out of their ears– it’s that time of year.Continue reading “Harvesting in Life”
This Month’s Picks: October 2014
By: Gabriela Yareliz That’s it. October is out with a bang! And November is being swept in by a cold gust of wind (and not the weird Pharrell ‘you-remind-me-of-the-air’-“Gust of wind” song). Here is my compilation of fun things I found throughout the month, as usual. There are a few of my favorite things sprinkled below:Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: October 2014”
TKOs and Success
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this video, and I had to share. I was super inspired by it. I love the fact that boxing is a huge theme in the video. Boxing is analogous to life; there is struggle; there is pain; there is discipline; there are choices, and there is potential victory. So, if you are down for motivation and fantasticContinue reading “TKOs and Success”
Le Persone Belle
“Le persone belle sono rare, non si distinguono dal viso ma dall’anima.” “Beautiful people are rare, [they are] not known by face but by the soul.” “Un giorno realizzerai che c’e una ragione per ogni persona che hai incontrato. Qualcuno ti mettera alla prova, qualcun altro ti usera e qualcun altro ti insegnera qualcosa eContinue reading “Le Persone Belle”
Proctors & Wallpaper
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was the dreaded corporate accounting exam in various law schools in the city, apparently. It is hilarious when you go into an exam nervous, because the proctors usually make the nerves evaporate in the 15 minutes of prep time prior to the exam. The proctors are hilarious– unintentionally, of course. There is alwaysContinue reading “Proctors & Wallpaper”
Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014
[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”
Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition
By: Gabriela Yareliz I decided that not another day could go by with me not visiting one of my favorite places in the city–South Street Seaport District. I love the crisp, windiness by the sea and the boats. So, I grabbed my camera (partner-in-crime) and wandered down to the Financial District. The day was perfect; notContinue reading “Hopeless Wanderer: STH/ST/SEAPRT/NYC, Cider Feast Edition”
