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”

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”

Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello Monday, and happy Martin Luther King, Jr. Day! As I am writing this, it is Sunday, and I am up in the sky flying back to the Big Apple. Freezing rain is pelting down the city that is waiting for me. Oh New York! A city God’s providence has taken me to,Continue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 19, 2015”

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”

Human Rights Day at the UN

By: Gabriela Yareliz There is no place I would have rather been today, on Human Rights Day, than at the United Nations for the Hague Talks. A big thank you to the Kingdom of the Netherlands, the American Bar Association, the UN, and the International Criminal Court Consortium for being such gracious hosts and for theContinue reading “Human Rights Day at the UN”

Monday Inspiration: November 17, 2014

Hellooo beautiful week! The skies are grey, the Holiday Market is being set up at Union Square (I can’t wait to take some amazing photos this year), and exams and interviews are coming soon. *giddy* This week’s Monday inspiration kind of reflects our NYC weather and vibe: soft light, twinkling details, old world & classic. That’sContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 17, 2014”
