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. Oftentimes, we show up at empty wells hopingContinue reading “The Words of a Wise Woman: Corrie Ten Boom”
Facing Loss
By: Gabriela Yareliz Some nights, I listen to Delilah on the radio. Old habits that stay a lifetime, I guess. There is something soothing about her voice and wisdom when night falls. Stories and old favorite songs float around in the darkness as slumber finally seduces the senses into stillness. I love the stories, andContinue reading “Facing Loss”
The American Dream: Hispanic Heritage Month
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was talking with some friends about the reality of what people face in this country. I think that as law students, we often sound jaded and bitter.

By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things to do in New York is visit churches. Many of them are old and filled with exquisite beauty and detail.

Falling
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking through the village, and I saw a little brown leaf falling in front of me (I looked up and smiled). This year, I have promised myself that I will go to a park and enjoy the leaves when they are in all of their fall glory. My timing is always wrong. I go beforeContinue reading “Falling”
Headlights
“I have spent my entire life studying the human body, and I can say with scientific certainty that what keeps us alive, more important than blood or oxygen or even love–is hope.” Dr. Henry Morgan, Forever [We shall keep rowing forward.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you found yourself dreading the upcoming week?

How to Deal
By: Gabriela Yareliz I remember one particular afternoon, where I was sitting in my high school adviser’s office. My high school adviser was and is a friend; someone I would talk to about concerns and life in general– not just school stuff. I was sitting back in a chair chewing on a candy from his glass jar and complainingContinue reading “How to Deal”
