By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday. I know I am late in like every time zone. Anyway. A new week has begun. Those of us in our study caves are glancing up from our kerosene lamps and books at our quickly fading calendar countdown for the big exam. I bought a one-way ticket today, *holds breath*;Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: July 6, 2015”

This Month’s Picks: June 2015
“I have only one hope in life and that is to be used by God. The more highly we think of ourselves and our abilities and our talents, the less God can use us. I pray that God might humble me so that I understand that I am just an instrument in His hands.” A.Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: June 2015”
Monday Inspiration: June 22, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw the bar exam countdown calendar. Thirty-something days left. I shuddered. This is insane; the way time has run away, kidnapping our summer. For those still in law school doing internships, their internships are halfway done. It’s that time in the summer when exhaustion settles into numbness, and even Shakespeare inContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: June 22, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #26
By: Gabriela Yareliz Walking around here is like walking through a thick stew. It’s warm, thick and pretty much spicy. It’s the land where seashells crackle under our feet, where lizards come out to greet us, and where the sky, even after sunset, is drop-dead gorgeous. We almost envy the stars. The salty air andContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #26”

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. God has acted in myContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: April 2015”
Open Roses
By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is continual growth. Life is like a rose. Suddenly, some insecurities begin to fade; things we weren’t sure we liked about ourselves, about others; imperfections that needed to be dealt with and not just ignored; the path we are walking without a clear view of the future… And as we continue toContinue reading “Open Roses”
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”
