By: Gabriela Yareliz Today was the first day of school for all public school kids in NYC. It was a day filled with tiny cuties wearing their backpacks. Some cried and begged their parents not to leave them, others seemed to confidently go in the direction of new friends. Do you remember, back in theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #38”

Reflections Before Bedtime #37
By: Gabriela Yareliz Getting told to sit down; sitting in a stolen chair; going up and down many flights of stairs (my butt is looking great); eavesdropping; talking in a press conference– all in a day’s work, my friends. The temperatures are playfully hinting at the days to come. The future is bright and surprising.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #37”
Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz September glory days are here. I am sitting here in a cozy but loud coffee shop. A sweet guy tried to tell a zany writer not to get more shots of espresso because it was bad for her, and I am here drinking a green juice whose taste of celery is waaayyyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 7, 2015”
The Present
By: Gabriela Yareliz History books are filled with what’s important to us. Our victories, our battles, and everything in between. In the book, bad and good make it in. In it, we find things that hurt us; things that surprised us; things we couldn’t control; things we provoked. History books hold our story; half writtenContinue reading “The Present”
This Month’s Picks: August 2015
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz Happy September! We survived August. August was personally filled with a lot of changes and constant movement for me. I am excited to know that autumn is just around the corner. I love fall. The other day, I was lounging on my mattress, and when I looked up at the window,Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: August 2015”
“Adulting”
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Adulting,” that is what Feliz calls the act and state if being an adult. That awkward world where we pay our bills, we monitor our accounts and only get substantial vacations for maternity leave. It’s only awkward to us because it’s foreign to us. It’s weird when suddenly you aren’t living offContinue reading ““Adulting””
Reflections Before Bedtime #36
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we don’t perceive exactly when life, as we know it, changes. We know an alteration after-the-fact though, because we feel that something inside of us has changed. Something we can’t explain; we can only live it out.
Bar Trip
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a tradition, I guess, that frustrated and relieved law graduates take a trip after graduation and after taking the bar exam. Many go; whether broke, well off, employed, unemployed– August is jet-set time. I got lucky that I got a special gift from above (after all, the Bible says all goodContinue reading “Bar Trip”
Like the Leper
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the account of the ten lepers who called out to Jesus for healing in Luke 17:11-19. Instead of healing them, there, right on the spot (as we would expect), Jesus told them to go show themselves to the priest (who was the person who deemed people clean or uncleanContinue reading “Like the Leper”
Reflections Before Bedtime #35
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when we are making an important decision, we sit and weigh our options. I do this a lot. In the light of the current decision I must make, Moses came to mind. Hebrews 11:23-29English Standard Version (ESV) 23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents,Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #35”
