“Charlie Kirk was a human being. He was a dad and a father. His wife is now a widow. His two children, because of how young they are, will not have a personal memory of their dad. That’s been stolen from them by someone who thought they had the right to kill another human being.Continue reading ““A Culture in Turmoil””

Overwhelmed with Darkness
By: Gabriela Yareliz Our hearts are so heavy with grief, we don’t know where to look. Spiritually, you feel the darkness. I am tired of seeing Christian children killed in worship and going to school. I am tired of seeing law-abiding citizens get killed and criminals turned loose and defended. I am tired of theContinue reading “Overwhelmed with Darkness”
Nostalgia Menu
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was listening to Andy Frisella remember the 7/11 Big Grab Dorito bags. (Apparently, the 7/11 social media is fire, and it’s a bunch of cars). The store carries Frisella’s 1st Phorm Energy. While they carry new products, they are a treasure chest for nostalgic snacks. Taco Bell’s Y2K Decades Menu hasContinue reading “Nostalgia Menu”
Erasure
By: Gabriela Yareliz Candace Owens led an interesting discussion around the attempted erasure of ancestry. Cue the Cracker Barrel controversy. (Truly one of my favorite places to be. I heavily considered planning a wedding party there). “It’s a spiritual attack on the idea of ancestry. Nothing can be old. Everything must be new. They wantContinue reading “Erasure”
All of It
“Fall in love and stay in love. Explode. Don’t intellectualize. Get passionate about ideas. Cram your head full of images… Stay off the internet and all that crap. Read all the great books. Read all the great poetry. See all the great films. Fill your life with metaphors. And then, explode.” Ray Bradbury
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”
The Right Question
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on a coaching call not long ago, and as a particular issue was being discussed, the coach’s question was: “What does love do next?” You could have heard a pin drop. That’s a profound question. We so often do things from our false self and ego— but what does loveContinue reading “The Right Question”
The One Who Learns the Most
By: Gabriela Yareliz Back-to-school season is upon us. Fall is in the air early. (Usually, NYC is at a low simmer during this time of the year). The trash is usually roasting, and us pedestrians are one shove away from landing in a boiling heap of trash bags, and surrendering because the heat has drainedContinue reading “The One Who Learns the Most”
Defining Leadership
“Leadership isn’t about control. It’s about responsibility. And the weight of that responsibility gets heavier the more people you lead.” Erwin McManus
Summer Stage
By: Gabriela Yareliz There is this 1 train that has a set of doors that don’t work. The local stop side opens fine, so you get on and don’t suspect a thing. Then, you get to the express stop, and only one opens, and the other door just stonewalls you. It’s always that awkward momentContinue reading “Summer Stage”
