By: Gabriela Yareliz Friday came to a close as I sat down to eat a stale piece of leftover pizza after making my apartment look like Monica Geller had come to visit. As I chewed on the pizza, I perused an article about the shelf life of pizza in a refrigerator, on BuzzFeed. Halfway throughContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 23, 2016”

Reflections Before Bedtime #90
By: Gabriela Yareliz We walked from the West Side to the East. We walked through that Central Park tunnel; you held the umbrella and all the bags. You shielded me from the chilled showers. A bus came, and we were almost bathed by the NYC puddle filth. When we saw the bus; the water; theContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #90”
Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! I saw a sign that said: “I run on caffeine, chaos and cuss words.” So cheesy. But, it made me wonder– what do I run on? We all run on something; especially on Mondays. What are your three things? I guess mine sign would say: “I run on vegan/gluten free proteinContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 12, 2016”
Heavenly Interviews
By: Gabriela Yareliz Those of you who have been reading for years may remember my journalism studies days. (An old comical blog post is linked for your enjoyment).

Tuesday Badinage: August 23, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz In court, I ran into an opposing counsel who had on two different shoes. “I will fess up to you,” he said to me as I walked with a colleague. He told me that in the morning, as he was taking off his shoes after driving, changing into work shoes, he onlyContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: August 23, 2016”
Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles
By: Gabriela Yareliz This past week, I was listening to a “Pocket Pardon My French” podcast, by Garance Doré, about the meaning of success. This is a word and yardstick that tortures young adults and adults, alike. It’s the stuff children’s dreams are made of. Garance spoke about how true success, to her, is knowingContinue reading “Success, Virgin Births And Ordinary Miracles”

Collecting the Pearls
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, I visited the most beautiful estate with someone very special to me. It was a fantastic day trip. The estate was sprinkled with beautiful, climbable trees; manicured green grass; complete with the picturesque and harmless giant black ants that look like the type that would steal away your picnic sandwich.Continue reading “Collecting the Pearls”
Sunday Girl: August 14, 2016
“When you live with soul… Every thought is a prayer; Every word is a blessing; Every single day is a miracle.” Cleo By: Gabriela Yareliz It has been one of those Sundays. My hair has been piled up, on top of my head, making me look like a Teletubbie, all day. (Like Laa Laa, theContinue reading “Sunday Girl: August 14, 2016”
