Monday Inspiration: February 2, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! Freezing rain and snow have made us go slippin’ and slidin’ to school. This week is going to be a challenge. Time to get some inspiration in the veins. I am constantly trying to communicate something incommunicable, to explain something inexplicable, to tell about something I only feel in myContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 2, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #7

“We might think that God wanted simply obedience to a set of rules: whereas He really wants people of a particular sort.” C. S. Lewis,  Mere Christianity By: Gabriela Yareliz I finished the book of Deuteronomy today. I finished the books of the law. As I continue to journey on through scripture, I am studyingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #7”

When the Struggle Gets Real: January 29, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Reading through the Old Testament has been such a treat. I am only in the book of Deuteronomy (still sticking to my 90-day challenge), and truly, it’s amazing how the Bible is a fountain in which one can find new things and learn, no matter how many times you have read certainContinue reading “When the Struggle Gets Real: January 29, 2015”

Blizzard Badinage

By: Gabriela Yareliz “What is something married couples and families do not have as much of, compared to college students?” asked my professor. “Friends,” said the kid in front of me. The class whispered some giggles. I started out the day in Family Law. Apparently, being a law student is like working for the postal service;Continue reading “Blizzard Badinage”

Monday Inspiration: January 26, 2015

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”
