Blizzard Badinage
By: Gabriela Yareliz “What is something married couples and families do not have as much of, compared to college students?” asked my professor. “Friends,” said the kid in front of me. The class whispered some giggles. I started out the day in Family Law. Apparently, being a law student is like working for the postal service;Continue reading “Blizzard Badinage”
Monday Inspiration: January 26, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Something tells me time is going to simply evaporate in these next few weeks. It’s time to embrace every moment and savor the details and slow ticking of the clock. It is a beautiful time, a strange time, a difficult time, an emotional time, an uncertain time–it’s time. I hope that thisContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 26, 2015”
A Walk to Remember: Jamie Sullivan
This movie came out 13 years ago (1/25/2002), and it is still one of my favorites. By: Gabriela Yareliz This is a tribute to my favorite Nicholas Spark’s book and film, A Walk to Remember.

Wisdom Personified
Wisdom Speaks Does not wisdom call? Does not understanding raise her voice? On the heights beside the way, at the crossroads she takes her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of the portals she cries aloud: “To you, O men, I call, and my cry is to the childrenContinue reading “Wisdom Personified”
Wednesday Musings: January 21, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Back to reading and studying like a beast. Yep. We are back. Vacation is over, people. The law school is bustling like an ant pile that has been stepped on. The adrenaline is pumping, the soul is sufficiently sleep-deprived, and the arms are full of 50-pound books. It is a weird feeling,Continue reading “Wednesday Musings: January 21, 2015”
Complex Math
“There is a sense in which two and two are four, the plane of ledgers and cashbooks – on which these propositions are approximately sound. But if you rise from that plane to a loftier one, you will find at once that they are untenable … it is obviously untrue that half-a-baby and half-a-baby makeContinue reading “Complex Math”
Ninety-day Challenge
“You Christians look after a document containing enough dynamite to blow all civilization to pieces, turn the world upside down and bring peace to a battle-torn planet. But you treat it as though it is nothing more than a piece of literature.” Mahatma Gandhi By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ve talked to people, and I have realizedContinue reading “Ninety-day Challenge”
Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello Monday, and happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! As I am writing this, it is Sunday, and I am up in the sky flying back to the Big Apple. Freezing rain is pelting down the city that is waiting for me. Oh New York! A city God’s providence has taken me to,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015”
What We Celebrate
By: Gabriela Yareliz When you have witnessed someone’s pain after they have experienced sex trafficking, and sexual abuse and assault, pornography and the culture’s obsession with sex doesn’t seem as innocent. When you have witnessed a person’s struggle, someone who has fled domestic violence or abuse where alcoholism or drugs fueled the abuser, drinking doesn’tContinue reading “What We Celebrate”
