[Image via The University of Cambridge] Thinking of autumn reminds me of wandering libraries. I have wandered many. There was the large one in Gainesville with all of the movie/DVD shelves. I would browse, waiting for my computer ticket number to come up so I could check my email at one of their computers. ThereContinue reading “The Libraries”

My French Library
By: Gabriela Yareliz I lit my candles to get rid of the evidence in the air that I had been cooking and roasting potatoes all morning. To contextualize this post (I keep thinking of those in the future who may read this back if they are bored or looking for a good French read), theContinue reading “My French Library”
Resting in Feminine Energy
By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt an extra layer of familiar exhaustion, this past week. I realized that a big part of that was not just workload, but it was more the type of work and type of energy it demands. The work I do requires a very masculine energy. I love and get amped byContinue reading “Resting in Feminine Energy”
Into the Pool
By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I am sharing one of those anecdotes one simply does not forget from Born Standing Up, the bio by Steve Martin on his (brilliant) career in comedy. (I am a big fan).

Being Human: Here Comes Autumn
FALL TRANSITION By: Gabriela Yareliz And here we are. Inside of my little studio, French jazz playing, little amber candles burning and the drawers of my dresser only half closed. That’s the way it goes on a Friday where I don’t want to leave my house anymore, and I just want to start my sentenceContinue reading “Being Human: Here Comes Autumn”

All that matters is we’re going.” — Lorelai Gilmore, Gilmore Girls. Oh July! Why is it that I feel more disciplined during the semester as opposed to during summer? (I am laughingContinue reading “This Month’s Picks: July 2014”
What do they see when they look at me?
“Here is the path to the higher life: down, lower down! Just as water seeks and always fills the lowest place, so the moment God finds men abased and empty, His glory and power flow to exalt and to bless.” Andrew Murray By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello friends, seekers, those who stumble upon my blog forContinue reading “What do they see when they look at me?”

This Week’s Picks: August 25, 2013/ Back to School
By: Gabriela Yareliz Summer lights are dimming; textbooks beckoning; internships interviewing; summer heat fading; rain storms pouring. It’s New York. You see the nannies with the children of different ethnicities in the strollers; young students laying out at the Washington Square Park on blankets; tourist groups buying Amorino Cones; falafel trucks smoking on corners ofContinue reading “This Week’s Picks: August 25, 2013/ Back to School”
This Week’s Picks: August 11, 2013
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello my dears, It’s hot, humid and cloudy. Yes, but life is still good. I keep avoiding my legal summer reading (I know I will get to it). Come into the law student and lawyer’s mind: Apparently, law school makes you hate anything with serious words listed one after the other inContinue reading “This Week’s Picks: August 11, 2013”
