*Pulls out orange autumn leaf and grins* “We have this one little life, and for a lot of it, we just blow around in the wind. But if we are lucky, and we believe that life knows what’s best for us– sometimes, we land on the right someone to talk to.” Riley Matthews (Girl MeetsContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: July 25, 2016”

The Hours: July 23, 2016
(G sent this song to A at 7:24 am because she was inspired by it) Thoughts that floated around today (these were all brought up by different people): AM 9:42: “You see Jesus did not tell the woman who had been caught in adultery a conditional promise of ‘go, be good, and then I willContinue reading “The Hours: July 23, 2016”
Tuesday Badinage: July 19, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I got to go to the prettiest part of Long Island. It was gorgeous; one of those neighborhoods that makes you want to bake apple pies, wear an apron, and buy matching napkin rings for a long table. There was a large park with lots of green grass and a gorgeousContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: July 19, 2016”
Sex (and the City)?
The ladies from Sex and the City By: Gabriela Yareliz [All images from Tumblr] Don’t worry– this is not a post about the ridiculously self-centered women of the HBO hit show.

Reflections Before Bedtime #87
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I was reminded of a friend of mine. Maybe, it’s more appropriate to use the term ex-friend. We had a weird dynamic and a weirder falling out. We spent lots of time together. It was one of those friendships where you know how the other person thinks and his or herContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #87”

“Your destiny isn’t the things you’re going to do, it’s the people you’re going to love.” Shawn Bolz By: Gabriela Yareliz I decided to take a quick break from typing up a motion. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. I can’t believe the summer is evaporating this quickly. MID JUNE PEOPLE. MidContinue reading “Sunday Girl: June 19, 2016”
Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz I’ll try not to make this a rambling post, but I am just spilling out of my glass right now; overwhelmed with so much– good and bad. I feel it has been a while since I came by these parts. Life has been insanely busy. I feel like I barely sleep, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl/Reflections: June 5, 2016”

“He would not let the fear rise, nor hope falter, nor defeat be entered in his thoughts.” C.S. Lewis // Dymer, Canto 3.17 By: Gabriela Yareliz There is a very real fear that abides in many of us– a fear that He, the Almighty God of the universe may pass us by or not hearContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: May 30, 3016”
