Monday Inspiration: October 13, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday, to one and to all. After a road trip and a whirlwind of a weekend, Monday has begun. Life is still in fast forward with no pause button in sight. Even when I try to get in some sleep, it’s more like, Let me hurry up and fall asleep toContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 13, 2014”

Monday Inspiration: October 6, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s intimidating to come into full eye contact with your busy week. Here is a dose of Tumblr magic for your Monday. (It’s how I cope with law school Mondays). The work/study week begins. Guys, God is still on His throne; a Savage Garden song just came on; the world is still spinning. Yes. ItContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 6, 2014”

Soaked

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I woke up and stared out of my window. The day was gray with a dark green hue. Rain was falling steady. I was still in my apartment glancing at the neighboring building’s fire escapes, which were shiny, black and wet, avoiding the thought of walking to church. The rain did notContinue reading “Soaked”

The Words of a Wise Woman: Corrie Ten Boom

By: Gabriela Yareliz I think it’s in moments of transition and decision, and moments of complete uncertainty and darkness, that you see people seeking for peace and guidance the most. It’s part of the human condition. We all do it, and we all seek for these things in different places.

This Month’s Picks: September 2014

It’s official–October, baby! Life continues at its slow-fast pace. Life can be looked at in different ways. It can turn into a waiting game. It can turn into a list of things to do. It can turn into a dream. It can turn into a telescope into the future. It can be an adventure. It canContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: September 2014”

Monday Inspiration; September 29, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz I just realized that I thought I had some days off this week, but I was wrong. (Typical). Oh, Monday! Why so cruel? (Grin). All right, people; we are going to celebrate Monday. This is a new thing (at least in my world). Monday sets the tone for the rest of the week–andContinue reading “Monday Inspiration; September 29, 2014”

A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply

“The eternal child is one who has never seen anything so beautiful, because he doesn’t compare. […] But the walker who marvels while walking (the blue of the rocks in a July evening light, the silvery green of olive leaves at noon, the violet morning hills) has no past, no plans, no experience. He hasContinue reading “A Philosophy of Walking: Living Deeply”

Hero

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, we discourage people even though we mean well. Often, we can’t see when people are really unhappy because all we see is what we want for them. We keep pushing them out of love, not out of malice, because we think we know what is best. I heard Wilson Wilson Jr. tell Tim Taylor a quote: “You don’tContinue reading “Hero”
