Worth It

By: Gabriela Yareliz Why is it that we quickly forget our value and worth? This happens often when we have kind of pinned our worth on a person, position or thing or when we look around to compare ourselves to others. We must stop looking for our worth to be reflected on us by somethingContinue reading “Worth It”

Thursday Brain Dump: May 21, 2015

ISSUES OF CONTROL:  By: Gabriela Yareliz Greetings. I should be studying or sleeping. One of the two. Instead, I am here. The mind has been on a constant study roll. It’s incredible. My mind is like a giant pitcher with a bunch of Kool-Aid sloshing around. With the smiley face on it… Yeah, keep theContinue reading “Thursday Brain Dump: May 21, 2015”

Open Roses

By: Gabriela Yareliz Life is continual growth. Life is like a rose. Suddenly, some insecurities begin to fade; things we weren’t sure we liked about ourselves, about others; imperfections that needed to be dealt with and not just ignored; the path we are walking without a clear view of the future… And as we continue toContinue reading “Open Roses”

Reflections Before Bedtime #19

By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes in life, we make the mistake of thinking that people will have to come around to respecting and accepting us and our ways of thought. It doesn’t always happen, obviously. We know this, but it stings a little when it unfolds in real life. People owe us nothing, and best ofContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #19”

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. It’s weird how in a person’s most desperate time, he or she might stumble upon another who wants to walk alongsideContinue reading “Wednesday Musings: February 11, 2015”

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”

Monday Inspiration: January 12, 2015

“She quietly expected great things to happen to her, and no doubt that’s one of the reasons why they did.” Zelda Fitzgerald By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Monday! Not much light is coming in through the sky lights today; it is dark, cloudy and rainy with a soundtrack of thunder. On Friday, I attended a veryContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: January 12, 2015”

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”

My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man

By: Gabriela Yareliz So, I reblogged a post yesterday that I read, and I honestly think I read it thinking it was saying what I wanted it to say (it’s like being a bad listener, except this is being a bad reader). But after rereading it and thinking about it and discussing it, I realizedContinue reading “My Mistake on: What Every “Godly” Girl Wants in a Man”
