By: Gabriela Yareliz Greetings! There was a fresh coat of snow on the city today. The sidewalks where the vendors set up were shoveled and sprayed down (less trash than usual, and no vomit on the streets). The non-vendor parts of the sidewalk were dangerously icy and silently waiting like a trap for any unassumingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #16”

Reflections Before Bedtime #14
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was just reflecting on the past couple of weeks. Man, 2015 has been so intense. It has been a test for me; mentally, spiritually and physically. This past week, I almost missed class twice because my body ignored all alarms, and I kept sleeping. Exhausted much? My 90-day Bible Challenge hasContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #14”
Reflections Before Bedtime #11
“But as for me, my prayer is to you, O Lord. At an acceptable time, O God, in the abundance of your steadfast love answer me in your saving faithfulness.” Psalm 69:13 (From day 38 of my 90-day challenge) In about eight weeks, life is going to feel like I am jumping off of a cliff withContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #11”
Blizzard Badinage
By: Gabriela Yareliz “What is something married couples and families do not have as much of, compared to college students?” asked my professor. “Friends,” said the kid in front of me. The class whispered some giggles. I started out the day in Family Law. Apparently, being a law student is like working for the postal service;Continue reading “Blizzard Badinage”
Reflections Before Bedtime #5
By: Gabriela Yareliz Soon, 2015 will be getting “real” as far as work and grind is concerned. I have been at home reading, storing up sanity and peace for what is to come, and meditating on life (nerdy– I know). I have been listening to people’s plans for this new year. I have been thinkingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #5”
2014
So I won’t give up; No, I won’t break down; Sooner than it seems life turns around. And I will be strong, Even if it all goes wrong; When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe; Someone’s watching over me. By: Gabriela Yareliz 2014 was a rollercoaster year. For some, it came with bigContinue reading “2014”
Winter Ambles
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am going to be taking a break from the city soon. I am going to drain Fifth Avenue from my veins for a bit. Going home is a detox. Slowly, I stop wearing black structured clothes, pretentious city makeup, and I breathe a little more deeply; my adrenaline levels become normal;Continue reading “Winter Ambles”
Pre-Finals Week Wednesday
1] When New Yorkers walked outside today: 2] BOSS INSPIRATION (to get me through finals, along with prayer and kale): Amal Clooney 3] Fifth Harmony dropped two music videos recently. One is a cover of one of the greatest Christmas songs (ever), the other is the long-awaited “Sledgehammer.” I sing Camila’s part at the topContinue reading “Pre-Finals Week Wednesday”
Reflections Before Bedtime #1
This is like Mandela’s Conversations with Myself, except not as deep. I love the mysteries of the world and the new places I have not found, yet. I love my brothers who take blackmail photos of me while I sleep and then send them to me saying it’s sleeping beauty. Sometimes, I still check closetsContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #1”
Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014
[Look at the week with the confidence of Inspector Clouseau.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, hello! Last week of October. We’ve survived. We made it. It’s been a sniffley, sleep-deprived, couple of weeks. I just finished a project on international law and torture. I was confirming the spelling of a terrorist group, and I felt nervous whileContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 27, 2014”
