Reflections Before Bedtime #80

“I knew when I met her that she was so extraordinary and special. And then, I wondered if I’d ever get a chance to date her.” George Clooney being adorable. When I saw this quote of George Clooney gushing over his wife, I smiled. It’s not the first cute George Clooney quote I post. IContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #80”

Monday Inspiration: February 23, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday to all of you. I could not get out of bed this morning, but once I did, there was no turning back. The week begins at full speed once that alarm goes off. Time to hustle. This is the last week to make February count for everything it’s worth. ItContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: February 23, 2015”

This Month’s Picks: January 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz The first chapter of 2015 has just closed, and we turn the page. New beginnings; new challenges; new inspiration. I hope that you find a bit of hope, laughs, reflection and fun in this corner of January favorites. 1] Girl Meets World knows the New York struggle. 2] I’ve read a lot ofContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: January 2015”

This Month’s Picks: November 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz November, November, November. You have given me unexpected gifts, and for that I am grateful. I was pressing some little purple flowers in a book, and I thought, it’s funny how something so temporary, like a flower, can have its beauty preserved, even after it’s lifeless. I once had a discussion with a friend who said there wasContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: November 2014”

This Month’s Picks: October 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz That’s it. October is out with a bang! And November is being swept in by a cold gust of wind (and not the weird Pharrell ‘you-remind-me-of-the-air’-“Gust of wind” song). Here is my compilation of fun things I found throughout the month, as usual. There are a few of my favorite things sprinkled below:Continue reading “This Month’s Picks: October 2014”

Monday Inspiration; September 29, 2014

By: Gabriela Yareliz I just realized that I thought I had some days off this week, but I was wrong. (Typical). Oh, Monday! Why so cruel? (Grin). All right, people; we are going to celebrate Monday. This is a new thing (at least in my world). Monday sets the tone for the rest of the week–andContinue reading “Monday Inspiration; September 29, 2014”

This Month’s Picks: March 2014

Compiled by: Gabriela Yareliz March was an action-packed month, where a crazy schedule became the new normal. Exams are coming quickly (they are that dark cloud hovering over us); I am still springbreakless; I am still slightly sleep deprived, but nonetheless joyful. I think April will be an exciting month filled with a lot ofContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: March 2014”

Because you’re worth it (wink)

By: Gabriela Yareliz You must give yourself value. The value you believe you have, and the value you believe God places on you. If you do not, the world will not place this value on you. Instead, it pulls you and stretches you. It surrounds you with destructive habits, numbers, labels and beauty, which in the beginningContinue reading “Because you’re worth it (wink)”

The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality

By: Gabriela Gonzalez Why is it that things like pleasure, beauty and art end up leaving us empty and guilty? I found a fascinating book/play on the topic. It is a short play, a fictional conversation between Oscar Wilde, known for his if it feels good, do it philosophy; Blaise Pascal, the brilliant mathematician, andContinue reading “The Picture of Dorian Gray & Sensuality”

By: Gabriela Yareliz It is Wednesday, and it feels like a sleep-deprived Monday. How sad is that? It is indeed sad. Here are some awesome Wilde quotes (wink). “Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future.” * “Keep love in your heart. A life without love is like a sunless garden whenContinue reading “Oscar Wilde”
