“Maybe there are still dreams inside of you that have not yet come to light.” Brianna Wiest Have you thought of the fact that you haven’t yet dreamed up all the dreams you will dream? Is there something emerging for you? Are you building up your courage? Are you prepared for the unexpected? Keep spaceContinue reading “Keep Space”

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”
Friday Gratitude
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, the bridge looked metallic silver in the bright sunshine. A good Friday morning to you! The train is quiet aside from gentle sniffles and the train conductor who sounds completely unhinged, but it’s not his fault— it’s the intercom. Most people’s eyes are closed. We made it. Even the girlContinue reading “Friday Gratitude”
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”
Spring Transition Outfits
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reset. I love a good spring reset. Mine has consisted of better sleep, taking out caffeine and continued and progressive strength training. It will be a matchaless spring. Dr. Stolberg’s tea has been my go-to along with gynostemma (they call it the poor man’s ginseng). In this new warmth, some interestingContinue reading “Spring Transition Outfits”
Are We Healing From Casual?
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things Nina Van Horn warns about in Just Shoot Me! is her theory that J.Crew and casualwear are destroying society. She had no idea it would be so much worse than J.Crew. J.Crew is formal compared to what we wear on the reg. It was the 90s afterContinue reading “Are We Healing From Casual?”
Unsent Letters
By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever written a letter you never sent? Have you ever kept unsent letters? I recently finished a book that relied heavily on preserved correspondence, and I have to admit, some of the most interesting correspondence was the stuff that was never sent. The unsent letters can be the most unhinged,Continue reading “Unsent Letters”
Sarah Dessen is Back
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw a guy with the tip of his hair flicked up with hair gel. It was such a 2003 moment. Speaking of 2003– I was thinking about the two writers who had many of us (me specifically) in a chokehold during the early 2000s. One was Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, writer ofContinue reading “Sarah Dessen is Back”
My Torso is on Fire
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s going to be a rainy week. Today is the one sunny day, and I am grateful. You can just feel the March energy, even though it was freezing this morning. I saw someone start their post by saying they feel like they are drowning (it was all on the luxury ofContinue reading “My Torso is on Fire”
Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz The snow piles remain. Winter has us all about to fling ourselves on the snow piles in resignation. “Just leave me here,” we want to say. But “onward,” as someone who does nothing at work typically says to those doing the heavy lifting. Onward, indeed. Today, I heard a clown horn (youContinue reading “Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26”
