Collective

By: Gabriela Yareliz The events of the past few months– actually days– need to be acknowledged. Every day, we collectively live out history. Listen, I tried to get something at the bank today and couldn’t because of the Microsoft system meltdown. People can’t get out of Milwaukee because of grounded flights. Every day is aContinue reading “Collective”

June 2024 Favorites

Hello friends, What a month. We lived intensely in June, and it flew by. This month started with a popping party in Staten Island. It was a blast. I met the incredible Tina Forte and Scott Lobaido out there. I got nostalgic and remembered Jell-o, and there were like thirty photos of Jell-o on myContinue reading “June 2024 Favorites”

The Athletes

By: Gabriela Yareliz I got dark circles under my eyes from all these hockey playoff games. I have loved every minute of it. It has been so much fun watching the NY Rangers. They made it to the Eastern Conference Finals, and their season ended when they were defeated by the incredible Florida Panthers. IContinue reading “The Athletes”

May 2024 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz May– my favorite month. It is always action-packed with birthdays and holidays. What is not to love? I got to attend my new employer’s commencement ceremony in my full regalia, which was nostalgic. I made a new work bestie. I started reading Seduction by Robert Greene, and it is gold. (All ofContinue reading “May 2024 Favorites”

Covered

By: Gabriela Yareliz Every day, we have the opportunity to pray over people and quite literally change the course of their lives. See, prayer gives God and heavenly angels the permission to intervene in lives where maybe that person has closed the door to it (or they aren’t intentionally seeking it). Our requests are honored.Continue reading “Covered”

Morning Trains

By: Gabriela Yareliz Here we are speeding toward the Times Square train station, which is a non-stop circus. Each corner curiously serves a different genre of music. I heard an old black man sing “Stand By Me,” better than the original (as I ran past him); a man singing and dancing salsa with an enviableContinue reading “Morning Trains”

Photo of the Year

Calling this the photo of 2024. UNC-Chapel Hill frat bros hoisting and protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protestors while being pelted with water bottles, rocks and sticks. Hats off to the gentlemen. Nothing like a southern state school. Following this, money was raised for a frat rager. Name something more American. God bless America.Continue reading “Photo of the Year”

April 2024 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope you enjoy my scrapbook vibe of a blog. There is so much here. I can’t wait to share. I have included some of my photos from my adventures throughout the apocalyptic month. It was a fun one! The month started with an eclipse that brought all business to a (sanctioned)Continue reading “April 2024 Favorites”

The Iconoclast Russell Brand

“Isn’t the point of religion for us to access an aspect of ourself that is connected to a force that allows us to discern moral truths that enable us to live well, materially? To have relationships with one another that are guided by principles other than spite, vengeance and vendetta. And ultimately, the most powerfulContinue reading “The Iconoclast Russell Brand”
