“Time is a liar. Stop letting the calendar tell you what’s possible. It doesn’t know who you are. It has no clue what’s still alive for you. Culture measures age in years. It tells us to grow older and grow up. To be reasonable. To trade aliveness for safety. But maturity is not measured byContinue reading “Some Thursday Inspiration”

This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)
“April, the angel of the months.” Vita Sackville-West By: Gabriela Yareliz Thank God March is over. That is all I can say. March was a month that felt a lot like drowning. It’s another day in another week, but when we start a new month, I picture a hand turning a page into a nextContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)”
Happy at Home
“To be happy at home is the end of all human endeavor. The sun looks down on nothing half so good as a household laughing together over a meal, or two friends talking over a pint of beer, or a person alone reading a book that interests them; and all economics, politics, laws, armies, andContinue reading “Happy at Home”

At times, we can leave a present circumstance and reset (best case scenario). There have been times where IContinue reading “I’m Learning to Breathe”
Simple Habits
“And it’s funny how often we have to course correct and bring ourselves back to these simple habits. Because life changes, routines shift, and suddenly the things that once grounded you fall out of rhythm.” Kenzie Burke By: Gabriela Yareliz Every time I hear a podcast with a health expert, the interviewer often asks forContinue reading “Simple Habits”
Ask
“The biggest unlock of my 20s: Ask for things. The raise. The introduction. The favor. Most people never ask because they fear rejection. But your silence guarantees it. If you’ve done the work, ask for the crazy thing. The world rewards those who ask. Closed mouths don’t get fed.” Sahil Bloom Don’t forget to ask!
The Therapy Review
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are some wild product reviews out there. They can be the most fun part of the website— kind of like the comments section. This sad review comes from Mrs. Pam, and it’s about a heated razor. But it’s also about more, you know? It’s about relationships, disappointment and self-worth. This postContinue reading “The Therapy Review”
This Week’s Favs 3.12.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, we went from 60F to 39F. It’s literally raining/snowing outside. The weather is wild. My torso is less on fire thanks to a plantain oil tincture I made. This stuff works. March feels so busy, and I haven’t even gotten to the taxes part of the to-do list. My bodyContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 3.12.26”
