By: Gabriela Yareliz This one goes out to all the morning pages, journal pages and brain dumps where we process all of the words that jam into our brain channels. Where we let it all out and then, feel free. The great unclogging. I ended last week with a ton of pent up energy andContinue reading “To the Unseen Words”

Moving Toward Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially autumn. The express train is weirdly emptier than usual, though I spot some of my regular commuting buddies.

This week, I am feeling theContinue reading “Moving Toward Autumn”
Walking Miracle

Yin
By: Gabriela Yareliz When life goes fast, often, the best thing we can do is go slow. When life is caffeinated and busy— you know that numb feeling that starts in your hands and goes up to your face— one of my favorite things to do is yin yoga. Really, it’s just a series ofContinue reading “Yin”
