Santa Ana

By: Gabriela Yareliz Very little else has our attention— all eyes on the LA fires. (Unless you are the president, Gavin Newsom and Mayor Bass). I was safe, warm and in my bed, going in and out of consciousness. Every time I was conscious, my mind was racing with prayers. I was filled with gratitudeContinue reading “Santa Ana”

We Are All Fish

By: Gabriela Yareliz “We are all fish swimming in water most of us cannot see, and we need to be more humble, more curious, more aware of all that is around us.” Margi Conklin  I loved this quote about life because it’s so true. As we start to understand that there is so little weContinue reading “We Are All Fish”

Plan for the End

“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life.

September 2024 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially autumn!!! (Yes, that deserves three exclamation points). Man, I love this season. The mornings are dark and glowy. It’s raining as I type this, and I am playing an “Autumn Jazz” playlist. The diffuser is going with all the yummy oils.

What’s Old Is New…

The amount of contradictory information you can find is overwhelming. I run little experiments on myself for three months atContinue reading “What’s Old Is New…”

August 2024 Favorites

Hello friends, August rushed off. What does this mean? The month was a bit of a blur. It was filled with busy stuff at work, back-to-school, smoothies, sweaty walks around Central Park where I was offered a carriage ride almost every day, a tow truck ride with a really nice guy who can back upContinue reading “August 2024 Favorites”
