This Month’s Picks: May 2015

Monday Inspiration: May 25, 2015 (Memorial Day)

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Memorial Day weekend. Of course, on a day like today we remember those who have died while serving our great country.

Tuesday Badinage: May 12, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s exam season in law school. The final days countdown. Oh, law school. You can meet noble people, strange people, catty people, self-centered people (the world in one building, minus the racial diversity)– and it is often said that all attorneys have some kind of ego complex. Not sure if that is accurate. Maybe itContinue reading “Tuesday Badinage: May 12, 2015”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Oh March. You almost took us to the grave. It has been an insane month. INSANE.

Monday Inspiration: March 30, 2015

By: Gabriela Yareliz Saturday was one of those New-York-Minute-adventure days. Some days fill you with wonder and amazement. The Julie Andrews type wonder.
