By: Gabriela Yareliz It has been a week. This week, I literally had to calculate my age on a calculator because I couldn’t remember how old I was and had tacked on like three years. (The sudden panic, guys…) It was a special week in that I got to see Michelle Branch. The Beacon TheatreContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 11.07.26”

Michelle Branch Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s Michelle Branch Day. I have been thinking about this day since she announced her tour. If you told me when I was ten that I was going to see this woman, I would have passed out. When you are a kid and you play pretend, you don’t always get to beContinue reading “Michelle Branch Day”
Build on Him
By: Gabriela Yareliz While sitting in Mosaic’s service this morning, as I listened to the song give+take, I realized my week had a common theme: building. The imagery of building on God was repeated. Building on the rock. The lyrics of that song say: You’re better than anythingAnything else I knowI put my trust inContinue reading “Build on Him”
This Week’s Favorites 10.2.26
The first favorites of October. This morning, I walked a good 15 minutes to a coffee shop that serves turmeric lattes, only to arrive and see it was closed even though according to Google and the sign on the door, they should have been open already for an hour. That was the vibe this week.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.2.26”
This Week’s Favorites 09.25.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz How is this the last favorites for September 2026? Facts. This week was busy. Left me feeling like Punch in this pic: My wish came true, and it’s SWEATER WEATHER. The wind has it feeling 9F cooler than it is. A dream. I wore fleece, sweaters and a set of light jacketsContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 09.25.26”
Be Good to Yourself
By: Gabriela Yareliz [It’s a double post day due to WordPress and train signal sabotage I was unaware of yesterday.] I started the day pressed up again half of NYC in train delays. The air is crisp— and we are thriving despite the multiple avenues of sabotage, which we are reframing as changing the pace.Continue reading “Be Good to Yourself”
Dolly, the Legend
“I make a point to appreciate all the little things in my life. I go out and smell the air after a good, hard rain. These small actions help remind me that there are so many great, glorious pieces of good in the world.” Dolly Parton Rest in peace, queen.
For the Dandelions
By: Gabriela Yareliz My favorite flower as a kid was a daisy. I loved a wild daisy. They were sunny and bright. I never discriminated against a sunny and bright dandelion, though. If there is a flower I touched a lot in life, it was that one. I have memories of playing house or weddingContinue reading “For the Dandelions”
This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26
I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”
Let’s Go, Ellaaaaaa
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s an exciting day for Ms. Langley. I really love her music, and clearly, I am not alone. It was a real treat to hear cover bands cover her songs in Nashville. In honor of her breaking the Billboard record (and because this video is pure art)— I just have to: AndContinue reading “Let’s Go, Ellaaaaaa”
