By: Gabriela Yareliz One of Manhattan’s loveliest places is tucked away at 487 Hudson St. I have spent many evenings at the Gardens at St. Luke; sometimes they are empty, sometimes they are full of children playing, while the mothers and nannies sit in a circle on the grass surrounded by strollers. The guardians occasionallyContinue reading “The Gardens at St. Luke in the Fields, Hudson Street”

TriBeCa’s Message

    By: Gabriela Yareliz If there is a concept worse than the idea of hell, my day came from that place. It was one of those: get-scammed, watch-a-father-get-no-bail-and-glance-back-at-his-wife-and-child-before-being-taken-away, get-ice-cream-that-has-no-flavor-and-once-you-accept-its-flavorlessness-you-find-a-hair-in-it, kind of days. My standards of professionalism are pretty high I’d say, and I often end up annoyed or frustrated at the world when I feelContinue reading “TriBeCa’s Message”

By: Gabriela Yareliz “Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love This is how it all began: The weather has been hot, sticky and nauseating.

From Madame Figaro

As the fog lifts

By: Gabriela Yareliz Each person hits walls of frustration and sadness. We all have our rough patches. Today, I found my devotional, Limitless, by Nick Vujicic, so inspiring. “Just know better days are ahead, and this too shall pass. Your comeback, like mine, may come in small steps day by day, over a period of weeksContinue reading “As the fog lifts”

Recipe to have a life

By: Gabriela Yareliz My motto: Law school (or any school or work for that matter) is a part of my life, it is not my life. I think how you live your life depends on how you think of your life and what you want for yourself. It’s a conscious decision. If you don’t makeContinue reading “Recipe to have a life”
