By: Gabriela Yareliz September glory days are here. I am sitting here in a cozy but loud coffee shop. A sweet guy tried to tell a zany writer not to get more shots of espresso because it was bad for her, and I am here drinking a green juice whose taste of celery is waaayyyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015”

The Certainty
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are many things in life we are uncertain about. Many times, we just have to learn to cope. Hebrews chapter 6, however, tells us about the certainty of God’s promises.

This Month’s Picks: July 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Goodbye July, and enter August. I typically think of August as a month of new beginnings (it’s the student in me). July was crazy intense.

This Changing World: July 19, 2015

A Latina icon being celebrated like this would not have happened in my childhood. Donald Trump thinks he can turn Puerto Rico into Puerto Trump (please God, no). No one remarked on the fact thatContinue reading “This Changing World: July 19, 2015”

This Month’s Picks: May 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz May. It’s over. I can’t believe it. Law school. It’s over. I can’t believe it. This month was so hardcore. So many emotions. It’s an end. It’s a beginning. This month, I lost a friend and mentor to cancer. That was very tough and unexpected. Some unexpected things were bad, other unexpected thingsContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: May 2015”
