#TeamRafael

By: Gabriela Yareliz Note: This is in no way a deep or serious discussion; it’s just a braindump. Is anyone else excited to see who Jane will be marrying in season 2 of ‘Jane the Virgin’?

“Adulting”

By: Gabriela Yareliz “Adulting,” that is what Feliz calls the act and state if being an adult. That awkward world where we pay our bills, we monitor our accounts and only get substantial vacations for maternity leave. It’s only awkward to us because it’s foreign to us.

Sunday Girl: August 9, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz The neighbors have a tent in their backyard. I hope they aren’t those people who put the tent on Airbnb and charge people $200 a night for “urban camping.” (This does exist.

I was talking to the cat while IContinue reading “Thoughts from a Temporary Cat Lady”

This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”

[Audrey Hepburn, who shares my birthday] By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s my birthday week! There are exams to study for, but it is going to be a good week. It has been a fantastic year; one of my most stressful, but also one of the years most filled with growth. This is only the beginning. Random notesContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: May 4, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #22

By: Gabriela Yareliz My random thoughts of the night: Life surprises us in the wildest ways. We make plans, God laughs (that kind of thing). Sometimes, dreaming big can cost you, literally, but then faith comes through to repay all debts. Maybe, when we think we are lost, if we look close enough, we realize thatContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #22”

Monday Inspiration: April 27, 2015
