“Autumn—that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness—that season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling.” -Jane Austen By: Gabriela Yareliz Autumn has me changing colors. There is probably no better use of our time like when weContinue reading “Changing Colors”

Friday Glee: October 17, 2014
You must be prepared to work always without applause. Ernest Hemingway I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature. Friedrich Nietzsche God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘IContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 17, 2014”

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s intimidating to come into full eye contact with your busy week. Here is a dose of Tumblr magic for your Monday. (It’s how I cope with law school Mondays).

Soaked
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I woke up and stared out of my window. The day was gray with a dark green hue. Rain was falling steady. I was still in my apartment glancing at the neighboring building’s fire escapes, which were shiny, black and wet, avoiding the thought of walking to church. The rain did notContinue reading “Soaked”
The Words of a Wise Woman: Corrie Ten Boom
By: Gabriela Yareliz I think it’s in moments of transition and decision, and moments of complete uncertainty and darkness, that you see people seeking for peace and guidance the most. It’s part of the human condition. We all do it, and we all seek for these things in different places. Oftentimes, we show up at empty wells hopingContinue reading “The Words of a Wise Woman: Corrie Ten Boom”
This Month’s Picks: September 2014
It’s official–October, baby! Life continues at its slow-fast pace. Life can be looked at in different ways. It can turn into a waiting game. It can turn into a list of things to do.

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply
“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

By: Gabriela Yareliz [I thought I would bring this back for a minute. People still look up my old weekly compilations.] Temperatures are dropping, lines at the Apple Store are forming, and some of us are planning our next moves (literally).

Unpacking
By: Gabriela Yareliz In life, some of us travel light, others of us have more to carry. Sometimes, we make many stops in different destinations, and we don’t have the time to unpack. If you don’t have time to completely unpack, then you haven’t reached your ultimate destination, yet. It means you will go far.Continue reading “Unpacking”
Autumn Inspiration
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a chilly night, but I was blessed to be warm and wrapped up in sweaters and blankets. Yes. We are already there. I woke up to a sunny, 55-degree morning. I feel autumn in my bones. It’s Monday. Garfield hates Mondays–That is why Monday calls for EXTRA inspiration. We are trying to turn MondaysContinue reading “Autumn Inspiration”
