By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s time for another week. It will bring its ups, downs and standstills. Sometimes, time seems to go fast and slow and then disappear altogether. It’s cold here now; winter coats, heater drying contact lenses and ear pain. Ahhh… A taste of winter for the soul. This weekend, I had a lovelyContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 19, 2015”

Dark Tunnels
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting on the train, looking out at the dark, graffiti-filled tunnels it goes through. The dark tunnels reminded me of how, oftentimes, in life, when we want to go somewhere, we end up having to travel dark, dark tunnels. Strangely, even in the darkness, there is art and all kindsContinue reading “Dark Tunnels”
Monday Inspiration: May 4, 2015
[Audrey Hepburn, who shares my birthday] By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s my birthday week! There are exams to study for, but it is going to be a good week. It has been a fantastic year; one of my most stressful, but also one of the years most filled with growth. This is only the beginning. Random notesContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: May 4, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This weekend: I went to a beach in Long Island by impulsively stepping into a van that looks like an Access-a-Ride (totally unplanned trip); made it to the beach, but it was too cold to stand outside; got stuck in crazy traffic on a bridge as we were making our way back into Manhattan; a girlContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: April 20, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: March 30, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Saturday was one of those New-York-Minute-adventure days. Some days fill you with wonder and amazement. The Julie Andrews type wonder. It was kind of like: So, I am hoping the rest of the week will either live up to this past weekend or normalize. “To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial.Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: March 30, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #16
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”
This Month’s Picks: February 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz February took us by storm. Winter storm. Ha. What a month. I could use a month to recuperate from February, but no such thing. March madness is here! The ICC Cricket World Cup has been a blast so far (probably because my team is doing well; Go India!). This month has hadContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: February 2015”
Sunday Girl: February 15, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz I like to find out what things mean. Curiosity…I should have been a cat? Kidding. It’s like the time I didn’t know what pound cake meant. It turns out that pound cake takes a pound of each ingredient (flour, butter, eggs and sugar). Apparently, the expression “Life is your oyster,” means: Oysters have aContinue reading “Sunday Girl: February 15, 2015”
Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz It really was a Goliath of a Wednesday. Life changes in an instant. Today, some walked in victory like David before Goliath; others sat innocently in a prison of life as Joseph once did before God fulfilled his dreams; others were in pain surrendering their greatest blessing in order to reap theContinue reading “Remembering Thursday: February 12, 2015”
Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello fellow survivors of this world. I hope your week is going splendidly. This week, I have been so impressed with how God orchestrates paths to cross for people to help each other. It’s weird how in a person’s most desperate time, he or she might stumble upon another who wants to walk alongsideContinue reading “Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015”
