By: Gabriela Yareliz The goal is to simplify. As the seasons turn, I have that urge to clean, as I have mentioned before. It’s a built-in syndrome or something. This cleaning is not limited to actual closet sweeps, but also, apps, subscriptions, etc. It’s time to take inventory. I still need to do a comprehensiveContinue reading “Simplifying for Autumn”

A NYC Monday

The Woman in White
By: Gabriela Yareliz There was a woman on the train holding her toddler. She was sitting in a double seat bench, wearing all white and a white hat.
