This is a special brain-dump edition of Reflections. 1) Did anyone see the Justin Bieber GQ cover? See below. Look who’s all grown up! We forgive you, Justin, we forgive you. (Insert an Uncle Jesse *Have mercy!* here). 2) The Spanish Mafia was at the Goyas 2016. And now, they are in NYC for NYFW.Continue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #70”

Friday Glee: February 5, 2016
Hi friends, Today, we explore snowy tragedies, what’s in an age (is it really nothing but a number?), questioning what it means to be really “grown up”, the political scene, breakups, languages, and maybe more– you know, if we get to it. Most of you aren’t from the U.S.; I love looking at my readerContinue reading “Friday Glee: February 5, 2016”
Reason
Part of the reason why I am here is the nature of my work. But the greater part is the work He is doing in me. #Providence101
Reflections Before Bedtime #68
By: Gabriela Yareliz Not too long ago, I was looking at photos from a movie premiere Leonardo DiCaprio and Clare Danes had in the 1990s. The fashion was terrible. I think there is a whole BuzzFeed article dedicated to the horrendous fashion. I won’t post a photo from the premiere. You’re welcome, Clare Danes.

Monday Inspiration: February 1, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, my friends. We begin the week and a new month. I am praying that this week, we make our motto: “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might…” (Ecclesiastes 9:10). And remember, “There is a time and a way for everything…” (Ecclesiastes 8:6). If you are praying forContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 1, 2016”
#StormJonas
Gabriela Yareliz By: Gabriela Yareliz We thought autumn would be eternal in these parts, or at least we hoped it would be. Storm Jonas said, “Nah.” Autumn treated us well. Mild temperatures and pretty colors. I love this photo. Oh, how I love the moon! The storm ended up being a lot more impressive thanContinue reading “#StormJonas”
Happy Week: January 24, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz We are thawing out, my people. The blizzard left us magnificent heaps of white glittery snow. I took a walk around my neighborhood today. Children were making bank. Adolescents were running around with shovels helping neighbors resurrect their cars. Neighbors would then hand them bundles of cash after a job well-done (meaningContinue reading “Happy Week: January 24, 2016”
Blizzard Update
By: Gabriela Yareliz 9:26 a.m.: Here I am, at home, on Sabbath, in a pink Minnie Mouse onesie and with Amal Clooney hair. Seriously. Yesterday, I let my abuela’s concern (and perhaps slight paranoia) about the weather get to me, and I bought water, snacks and candles that smell like “Cashmere Woods,” whatever that means.Continue reading “Blizzard Update”
You’ve Got Mail
By: Gabriela Yareliz One time, my friend Esmeralda was telling us what she would write in a one-paragraph matrimonial ad for each of us. It was a bunch of us from the law school clinic eating and chatting together when this went down. When it was time to write my ad, she said something alongContinue reading “You’ve Got Mail”
Monday Inspiration: January 4, 2016
By: Gabriela Yareliz Does anyone else’s week seem a bit daunting? Don’t worry. I am not going to sit you down, so to speak, in a dark, dusty study with the tick-tock of an old grandfather clock in the background and tell you my to-do list for the week, while I pace the floor. IContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 4, 2016”
