Friday Glee: November 14, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz Baby, it’s cold outside! Full-blown winter out here.  And for some reason, the light rain and four-degree wind chill (I exaggerate…) with the twinkling lights makes us feel that life is like a Christmas jewelry commercial (with background music and all). New York City just has that vibe. It doesn’t always have that vibe. OnlyContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 14, 2014”

Friday Glee: November 7, 2014

Have an amazing Friday! I am feeling very Princess Jasmine today dressed in teal. My survival week after week is truly part of my religious experience. 🙂 It’s time to celebrate the weekend and all of God’s blessings. We made it through. “Because free will, though it makes evil possible, is also the only thingContinue reading “Friday Glee: November 7, 2014”

Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014

[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”

Faith establishes what you think about God.” Tony Evans “God hears you and in His own timing, in His ownContinue reading “Never Forget”

Changing Colors

“Autumn—that season of peculiar and inexhaustible influence on the mind of taste and tenderness—that season which has drawn from every poet worthy of being read some attempt at description, or some lines of feeling.” -Jane Austen By: Gabriela Yareliz Autumn has me changing colors. There is probably no better use of our time like when weContinue reading “Changing Colors”

Friday Glee: October 17, 2014

You must be prepared to work always without applause. Ernest Hemingway I notice that Autumn is more the season of the soul than of nature. Friedrich Nietzsche God is always seeking you. Every sunset. Every clear blue sky. Each ocean wave. The starry hosts of night. He blankets each new day with the invitation, ‘IContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 17, 2014”

While You Wait

By: Gabriela Yareliz Waiting is one of the worst feelings. I remember when I was a kid, when I knew my friend Liz was coming to visit, I would sit by the window and wait. That was always a terrible idea because she and her family always arrived later than planned. I would sit by the window, watching intently;Continue reading “While You Wait”

Walking in step

By: Gabriela Yareliz We often think about genuineness. We think about and try to define true success, true beauty, true fashion, true love, true art, true fame, true athleticism, and even how true the weather prediction will be for the next day. Sometimes, I think we worry about the genuineness of things and concepts thatContinue reading “Walking in step”
