By: Gabriela Yareliz Some days on the train, we fight for our lives. Other days, we fight for our pride. There was a man who was leaning his whole body against a pole I needed to hold onto. Butt, torso, shoulders and head. I have never seen a body contort more to make so muchContinue reading “The Pole Battle”

Becoming Unshakable
By: Gabriela Yareliz I loved this conversation between Dr. Ewoma and Grace Beverley. I loved their conversation on grief. So many gems on mindset, tenacity and healing.
Bread and Butter
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was growing up, my parents had a bread machine. It was a white cube machine. I have no recollection as to how it emerged or when. I just remember it. You would place the ingredients from whatever bread you wanted in the book that came with the machine, and closeContinue reading “Bread and Butter”
August
“This is how August feels to me, that strange moment while you’re on a swing when you aren’t going up or down but feel suspended in mid-air. Even the air outside feels still, like it’s between an inhale and an exhale, a pause between two pages of a book.” Jillian Hankins

Those are the things that ultimately lead to healthier relationships, a happier life, and a lighter relationship with yourself. But because they’re uncomfortable, people keep skippingContinue reading “No Skipping”
Rollerblades
By: Gabriela Yareliz Where did all the rollerblades go? Did someone kidnap them all and bury them? Did they disappear with Toys-R-Us? Did the manufacturing center go bankrupt or burn down? We used to rollerblade so much on the 90s. Why is this not a hobby anymore? And don’t tell me it’s because too manyContinue reading “Rollerblades”
Swirling Around in the Mind
By: Gabriela Yareliz Cardiovascular Health for Women Did you know cardiovascular disease kills more women than all cancers combined? That was wild to learn. I really loved this conversation between Alisa Vitti and Dr. Suzanne Steinbaum. Highly recommend! Hilary Duff She still has us millennials in a chokehold. She is the millennial queen. She isContinue reading “Swirling Around in the Mind”
