By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s another spring day. A girl on my train looks like Lana Del Rey. Another one has very choppy layers, and you can tell she is a cool girl with that whole bangs-too-short vibe and large headphones. Most of the men here are playing Candy Crush or some colorful game. Others sleepContinue reading “Today’s Mood”

Taxes, Timing and Other Details
“[N]othing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” Benjamin Franklin, 1789 Letter By: Gabriela Yareliz Tax season is upon us. Why does it always feel like it just sneaks up on us?

I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure I met my guardian angel today. It was a commute like any other. Kindle in hand, and noise everywhere. My train was four minutes away. I like to stand in an area of the platform where the police usually stands, next to a shed structure in the middle,Continue reading “I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)”
I’m Learning to Breathe
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve all had moments of anxiety, panic and/or pain. Sometimes, it can feel like walls are closing in on us. Or maybe, it feels like a knife is stabbing us in the pelvis. At times, we can leave a present circumstance and reset (best case scenario). There have been times where IContinue reading “I’m Learning to Breathe”

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”
