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. He has written and scripted so many of his books into movies. I am not a fan of all of his stories,Continue reading “A Walk to Remember: Jamie Sullivan”
Left My Heart in Cedar Key
Photos and commentary by: Gabriela Yareliz We started 2015 with a little trip to Cedar Key. I love that place. Sea shell heaven. I am ever the nosy one. Between the pubs on C Street. Nature’s many shades. Gray glitter. Because in Florida, you don’t have to wear shoes. XOXO from the fishing pier andContinue reading “Left My Heart in Cedar Key”
What I Believe Is In My Name
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ve learned that people in life will look at you strange if you don’t exactly go with the flow. I’ve gotten looks and snarky comments. I’ve been laughed at, and I’ve gotten an occasional sigh. Some don’t understand why I do or don’t do certain things, why I believe certain things, why I have a conscience about certain things… WhileContinue reading “What I Believe Is In My Name”
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”
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”
Be Thou My Vision
These lyrics were on my mind all day: Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise, Thou mine Inheritance, now and always: Thou and Thou only, first in my heart, High King of Heaven, my Treasure Thou art. Heart of my own heart, whate’er befall, Still be my Vision, O Ruler of all.
Reflections Before Bedtime #5
By: Gabriela Yareliz Soon, 2015 will be getting “real” as far as work and grind is concerned. I have been at home reading, storing up sanity and peace for what is to come, and meditating on life (nerdy– I know). I have been listening to people’s plans for this new year. I have been thinkingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #5”
