I am doing my sixth Tunnel to Towers Foundation 5K, this month! If you would like to donate to help our nation’s injured first responders, military heroes and their families, you can donate here to my fundraiser. “While we have time, LET US DO GOOD.” With gratitude, Gabriela

Broadax
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the piece on Annie Dillard’s life and recent death. It made me think a lot about writing. About life. How many hours does any of us have left? We spend so much time in unconscious living; engaging in habits and actions we do on autopilot. How much conscious lifeContinue reading “Broadax”
Popped
People love to be helpless. People feel comfortable being assholes. By: Gabriela Yareliz People do a lot without consequence, now. People hide behind their delusions, phone screens, AI slop, and handles and screen names that lend anonymity. People sue others for the decisions they made and responsibility they share. People hate responsibility and ownership. TheyContinue reading “Popped”
Your Why
I heard Dr. Will Cole say something recently— people let their excuses be bigger than their why. So, don’t let your excuses be bigger than your why. Let’s gooooo.
Last Week’s Favorites 09.13.26
Hello my fellow journey(wo)men, It’s a rainy morning here in NYC after some hot temperatures this week. The sun was roasting. The rest of us were yearning for fall.

We Remember
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s the 25th year marking the anniversary of 9/11/01. We remember those on the planes who left those last voicemails and never landed at their destinations.

A Numb Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a mind-numbing day. My hair that is pulled back into a bun literally hurts. One of those days where you are a captive audience, and you take a total of three steps all day. It was a sedentary, aneurism attorney day. I am clinging to a poll on the train,Continue reading “A Numb Day”
Back to School
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s back-to-school season. It’s in the air, thick, in NYC because suddenly the trains are packed, and I write this smashed up against a set of train car doors. The keedz are back. FOMO and nostalgic joy take over as we see the footage of game days around the South— college footballContinue reading “Back to School”
Home State Behavior
By: Gabriela Yareliz Aziz Ansari grew up in South Carolina. I was discussing this, and how he talked about being different as a kid. Here in NYC, people have a habit of even categorizing their own ethnicity as those who are from here and those who are “fresh off the boat” so to speak. IContinue reading “Home State Behavior”
