By: Gabriela Yareliz Those of you who read my random musings know I am all about self-improvement and growth. I believe that truly living out God’s purposes for our lives means combatting our fears and moving past our comfort zones.

On the Road (a non-Kerouac version)
“But why think about that when all the golden lands ahead of you and all kinds of unforseen events wait lurking to surprise you and make you glad you’re alive to see?” Jack Kerouac, On the Road By: Gabriela Yareliz Don’t worry. I won’t start talking about how I saw God on the roadContinue reading “On the Road (a non-Kerouac version)”
Road Trip
By: Gabriela Yareliz The family is going on a road trip, and naturally, I am coming along– bar books, camera and all. It will be quite the adventure. By the end of the summer, I will have probably visited at least eight states (?), with my departure and destination points being the same. Life isContinue reading “Road Trip”

“Because that’s what people do, they leap, and hope to God they can fly.” Hitch
Reflections Before Bedtime #29
By: Gabriela Yareliz Brain-dump edition (these are always random): 1) We will always need our moms. 2) It is amazing when someone who knows what he or she is talking about comes to your aid and defense. It’s a good feeling. I suppose this is how our clients feel when we represent them in court.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #29”
Reflections Before Bedtime #28
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ever since exams and since one of my mentors passed away, I have been in the weirdest, frazzled little state of mind. The smallest things seem to trigger the biggest waves of emotion, and my perspective is very “big picture.” The bar exam is keeping me busy, focused and anti-social (as itContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #28”
