Dear Eric Adams (NYC Mayor), We need to discuss the bridges and tunnels. Let’s start with the bridges. The Macy’s Firework Show on July 4th utilized the Brooklyn Bridge nicely. The best part of the show was the American flag waterfalling off of the Brooklyn Bridge. The projections on the Brooklyn Bridge were fun andContinue reading “Ideas for NYC: Open Letter #4”

The Real Scandal
I don’t remember how I ran into this clip because I don’t follow this host, but it is on point. I am still mind-blown that this administration, who declared itself to be the face of accountability, truth, restoration of trust in institutions and transparency is now praying we will all just forget about this. GhislaineContinue reading “The Real Scandal”
The Emergence of Joy
“Happiness requires that you find meaning – and meaning comes from suffering.” Arthur Brooks By: Gabriela Yareliz SamySam on Instagram has an infectious energy I admire. He stands there and hollers his signature, “Life is goooooood,” and then, does a little dance. I just want to bottle that energy up and keep it in myContinue reading “The Emergence of Joy”
The Client List
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am annoyed. Suddenly, there is no Epstein client list. This was said by the same people who previously said they were reviewing it (Pam Bondi, Dan Bongino, Kash Patel…). This administration, like the ones before it, is protecting pedophiles and criminals. They lack integrity, and they think we are stupid. PressContinue reading “The Client List”
Views from the Train Seat

He feels the need to read while leaning, full body, into the aisle. He makes faces while he reads like he is performing for us. Like a mime Reading Rainbow. The airContinue reading “Views from the Train Seat”
The Love You Deserve
Showing Up
“Because when you find something in this world that is so rare, and so true, you don’t just throw it away. You show up for it. But first, I had to show up for myself.” Cara Alwill
Virtue
On this July fourth, I leave you with some words from Ryan Holiday: “It’s July 4th, 1776. The Founding Fathers are about to make a very loud statement about freedom and independence. They will, over the next several bloody and bleak years, give nearly everything in order to will it-and a new nation-into existence. ButContinue reading “Virtue”
The Good, Too
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reflecting the other day— sometimes we look at the past or “trauma”, and we think about everything it left us without. Everything we didn’t have or receive. Whatever we lost. But what if we looked at everything we have and are and were grateful for what we went through. WhatContinue reading “The Good, Too”
Adventure is the Fix
I loved the words from Michael Easter below.
