Happy Birthday Sugetha!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SUGETHA! What can I say? You and Srinivas have been such a blessing to my life. You have the most amazing heart. Gold, pure gold. We rarely come across people as thoughtful as you in life; never lose that. When the weather is bad, when I feel sad (and many times you didn’t know),Continue reading “Happy Birthday Sugetha!”

Sick-Day Sabbath #2

I have sneezed so much, I am afraid I am going to sprain my neck or something. Unfortunately, I am sick, and fortunately, trapped indoors. Today, I was sneezing at a symposium (the photo above is from today–the one moment I was not sneezing). The symposium talked a lot about John Milton’s Paradise Lost. IContinue reading “Sick-Day Sabbath #2”

By: Gabriela Yareliz So today, God exceeded all of my expectations. #speechless Moral of the story? While I am over here having some weird mini heart attack, He is working in my favor.

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.

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”

Left My Heart in Cedar Key

Photos and commentary by: Gabriela Yareliz We started 2015 with a little trip to Cedar Key. I love that place. Sea shell heaven. I am ever the nosy one. Between the pubs on C Street. Nature’s many shades. Gray glitter. Because in Florida, you don’t have to wear shoes. XOXO from the fishing pier andContinue reading “Left My Heart in Cedar Key”
