By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s Thursday, which means Sabbath prep. Part of that means doing laundry. As I was chatting with my mom, we remembered that when I was little and we lived in an apartment, our family went to a laundromat. I have a memory from this time; sitting, waiting and drinking a Snapple. It’sContinue reading “Laundry Snapple”

Ready for a Garand Era
By: Gabriela Yareliz The New York Rangers’ season is back in full swing. There have been highs, like Shesterkin’s goaltender goal, and lows, like Shesterkin’s recent injury putting him out of commission for the rest of the season. (We wish him a speedy and full recovery!) Let’s be blunt— if an entire team depends onContinue reading “Ready for a Garand Era”
The Duty for Weary Seasons
By: Gabriela Yareliz I finished reading Tish Harrison Warren’s book on resilience, What Grows in Weary Lands. It is a gem, as all her books are. It had takeaways such as: “But I can wait. I can keep going. The practices of our faith, acts of perseverance and trust that may feel futile, are atContinue reading “The Duty for Weary Seasons”
Today’s Mood board
We must return to old places. We must go back to the places, both internally and externally, that taught us about the magic and wonder of life. Yesterday, through a book, I went back to Lake Michigan. In photographs, I saw the sparkle of the lake that once captivated me as a child. It remindedContinue reading “Today’s Mood board”
This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sitting here staring at my bag of baby Jesuses. I need to do better and distribute them. The week went. Maybe it was the PMS, but it was a week of a wide range of emotions. You just feel everything amplified. The joy (petting alpacas) and the rage (people whoContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26”
Audience Reaction
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when I watch Dancing With the Stars, I speak to the dancers from our couch. I say things like “Let’s go, girl,” or “Okayyyy.” Made me wonder— if there was an audience watching us right now, what would they say? If someone was watching you, what would they say? Would theyContinue reading “Audience Reaction”
An Unvoiced Conversation
By: Gabriela Yareliz Maybe it’s because I am reading Strangers. Or maybe not. It could also be because I am me. I saw this young man walking down the street with his toddler who was waddling along in a puffy vest and long sleeve shirt, yesterday. The little boy was babbling on about something inContinue reading “An Unvoiced Conversation”

Soul Cure
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are weeks where we fall into old patterns of behavior, and we do not take proper care of ourselves. We all have them. This week, while sick no less, it was one of those weeks for me. I was doing my exercise routine but definitely overdid it at work. Falling backContinue reading “Soul Cure”
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”
