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”
Sunday Girl: December 27, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Just arrived to NYC. I am on a random bus. #adventure I am in a Cheryl Strayed kind of mood. “I knew that if I allowed fear to overtake me, my journey was doomed. Fear, to a great extent, is born of a story we tell ourselves, andContinue reading “Sunday Girl: December 27, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #56
Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz Words are so lovely. They end up swimming in my head like alphabet soup, after a long day. Delicious. “He wants to be the center, through Him alone all things shall come to pass. He is the Mediator, not only between God and man, but between man and man, between manContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #56”

#ThatShahLife
By: Gabriela Yareliz If I could choose one word to describe myself, it would be curious. I like learning and trying new things (even when I immediately regret it afterward). Being adventurous can be great, and it can also backfire. Believe me. But at least, this means I have an anthology of great stories forContinue reading “#ThatShahLife”
Reflections Before Bedtime #54
By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope you can laugh with me about the week’s adventures… Because you’ve got to laugh to keep from crying, right? Life is busy when you are prepping for court and people’s livelihoods are hanging in your hands by a thread. A tough exterior is needed on these streets, in a courtContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #54”
