Tuesday Badinage: May 12, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s exam season in law school. The final days countdown. Oh, law school. You can meet noble people, strange people, catty people, self-centered people (the world in one building, minus the racial diversity)– and it is often said that all attorneys have some kind of ego complex. Not sure if that is accurate. Maybe itContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: May 12, 2015”

This Month’s Picks: April 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This month has been a whirlwind. A fulfillment of many things awaited. I can say that things did not happen the way I anticipated, but better; and not by my doing, but God in His infinite mercy orchestrates amazing things in our lives. I am so blessed.

Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz This weekend: I went to a beach in Long Island by impulsively stepping into a van that looks like an Access-a-Ride (totally unplanned trip); made it to the beach, but it was too cold to stand outside; got stuck in crazy traffic on a bridge as we were making our way back into Manhattan; a girlContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015”

Reflections Before Bedtime #19

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the mistake of thinking that people will have to come around to respecting and accepting us and our ways of thought. It doesn’t always happen, obviously. We know this, but it stings a little when it unfolds in real life. People owe us nothing, and best ofContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #19”

Tough Stuff

       “Life is tough, my darling, but so are you.” S.L. By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is not a car you can just steer in whichever way you want. It’s more like a canoe in a river with a mind of its own. I think that we often put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make thingsContinue reading “Tough Stuff”

Cinderella, My Soul Sister

By: Gabriela Yareliz Life can be slightly upsetting, euphoric, complicated and interesting. I was glancing at my iPad screen. I added the Bar review app, and all the little icons moved around. Everything is slightly different. It’s interesting how something small can be something big; and how this small-big thing can change everything, even ifContinue reading “Cinderella, My Soul Sister”
