Monday Inspiration: November 30, 2015
The Hutchcast (2015) By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a new week, and you can accomplish anything. This past weekend was a refreshing time with family and friends. I hope you ate yummy food like I did. My amazing family also had a surprise waiting for me–eggnog! Yes! The nog! So, those of you who know IContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 30, 2015”
Friday Glee: September 25, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz I rode the train with a precocious child. He kept asking a bunch of questions, like which trains arrived at what station, and why certain tracks were higher than others. He was probably five years old. Then, when he arrived at his stop, he reached over and grabbed his mom’s hand andContinue reading “Friday Glee: September 25, 2015”
“Adulting”
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Adulting,” that is what Feliz calls the act and state if being an adult. That awkward world where we pay our bills, we monitor our accounts and only get substantial vacations for maternity leave. It’s only awkward to us because it’s foreign to us.

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”
Encounter
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this video, and I was deeply moved by it. People–they make us who we are, for better or for worse. Who would you sit down and have this moment with?
