By: Gabriela Yareliz I was lost. And there was no worse time to be lost. I was clutching my Ziploc bag filled with pencils and a pencil sharpener. I had no phone and no watch. I had no phone or watch because I was on my way to take an exam that banned phones orContinue reading “How the Sequel Began: Part I”

The Sequel Begins
By: Gabriela Yareliz Changes are interesting, and they are particularly interesting when they are a more “permanent” kind of change. This summer was great (I have so many photos and insights to share post-bar exam; I promise, it’s coming soon). Summer is about to conclude with the bar exam. I still think of the yearContinue reading “The Sequel Begins”
Reflections Before Bedtime #33
By: Gabriela Yareliz Life sometimes gives you a sweet surprise: Someone proves to you that you are unforgettable.
Reflections Before Bedtime #28
By: Gabriela Yareliz Ever since exams and since one of my mentors passed away, I have been in the weirdest, frazzled little state of mind. The smallest things seem to trigger the biggest waves of emotion, and my perspective is very “big picture.” The bar exam is keeping me busy, focused and anti-social (as itContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #28”

The salty air andContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #26”

Dreams

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”
Reflections Before Bedtime #22
By: Gabriela Yareliz My random thoughts of the night: Life surprises us in the wildest ways. We make plans, God laughs (that kind of thing). Sometimes, dreaming big can cost you, literally, but then faith comes through to repay all debts. Maybe, when we think we are lost, if we look close enough, we realize thatContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #22”
