By: Gabriela Yareliz Soon, 2015 will be getting “real” as far as work and grind is concerned. I have been at home reading, storing up sanity and peace for what is to come, and meditating on life (nerdy– I know). I have been listening to people’s plans for this new year. I have been thinkingContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #5”

Friday Glee: January 9, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Friday! It has been a good week. I got a wedding invitation from a good friend (so exciting), I am 3/4 through Travelling to Infinity by Jane Hawking, and I fixed my last academic schedule. I hope you had a great week. Many started work and classes this week. The busyContinue reading “Friday Glee: January 9, 2015”
Tanto Que Decir
Por Gabriela Yareliz Cielo azul con borde amarillo. El sol se va y se busca un espejo. La luna se viste de dorado, y nos manda recuerdos en cada rayo. Cada día, el cielo nos cuenta una historia; Con sus partes tormentosas, y sus partes de calor. Las estrellas, las pestañas de una mirada queContinue reading “Tanto Que Decir”
Monday Inspiration: January 5, 2015
Hello all, I hope you are having a wonderful 2015. Tomorrow is the traditional Three Kings Day (Dia de Reyes), called Epiphany, by some. Children remember the Men of the East’s journey to Bethlehem by putting out boxes filled with straw for their camels. In the morning, the children receive gifts. This tradition came toContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 5, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #4
By: Gabriela Yareliz When you keep someone at arms length, you eventually lose him or her. You lose him or her in the crowd of people who influence you and whom you are trying to please, and you lose him or her in your fog of fears. I think men who spend time at hardwareContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #4”
2014
So I won’t give up; No, I won’t break down; Sooner than it seems life turns around. And I will be strong, Even if it all goes wrong; When I’m standing in the dark I’ll still believe; Someone’s watching over me. By: Gabriela Yareliz 2014 was a rollercoaster year. For some, it came with bigContinue reading “2014”
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”
Reflections Before Bedtime #2
[Me, probably eight years old, being ridiculous at my abuelo’s house, wearing my grandmother’s nightgown.] By: Gabriela Yareliz Several people who were once closer to me (friends) have noted that I seem different but the same. It happens around the holidays, when people see you after a long time and when you are my ageContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #2”
Pre-Finals Week Wednesday
1] When New Yorkers walked outside today: 2] BOSS INSPIRATION (to get me through finals, along with prayer and kale): Amal Clooney 3] Fifth Harmony dropped two music videos recently. One is a cover of one of the greatest Christmas songs (ever), the other is the long-awaited “Sledgehammer.” I sing Camila’s part at the topContinue reading “Pre-Finals Week Wednesday”
Reflections Before Bedtime #1
This is like Mandela’s Conversations with Myself, except not as deep. I love the mysteries of the world and the new places I have not found, yet. I love my brothers who take blackmail photos of me while I sleep and then send them to me saying it’s sleeping beauty. Sometimes, I still check closetsContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #1”
