“It’s an amazing trigger within human nature, the minute someone acknowledges their flaws, not only do we tend to forgive them, but we actually come to admire them.” Mark Manson By: Gabriela Yareliz We do some weird things to appear flawless to others. We reframe, we pretend like change isn’t a thing (of circumstance orContinue reading “Little (Miss./Mr.) Perfect”

Attention
By: Gabriela Yareliz Pay attention to the details and the little things. The little things are never little. That is why they matter so much.
Captain
By: Gabriela Yareliz The NY Rangers had a strong and consistent losing streak in 2024. It looks like we are finally leaving that behind. You know who didn’t look like he was losing with the NY Rangers? Forward Vincent Trocheck. Someone make this man captain already. The team has no official leadership, and I amContinue reading “Captain”
Baseline
By: Gabriela Yareliz We are often very intentional about how we speak to others. What we often forget is that the baseline that truly determines this and also our choices is how we speak to ourselves. When was the last time we reflected on how we speak to ourselves? Is it harsh? Is it kind?Continue reading “Baseline”
Pruning
By: Gabriela Yareliz One thing I am really bad at is pruning plants. I mean who prunes them when they grow in the wild, right? But apparently, animals do. They nibble at twigs and leaves, and the wind helps blow off what is dead. For household plants and garden plants, you must prune. And it’sContinue reading “Pruning”

Revelation
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Everything that exists deserves to perish.” Mephistopheles, in Goethe’s Faust The quote above was Karl Marx’s favorite quote. Stay with me. This may feel random. This year, I have begun the year here giving a small window into my thoughts. I think about a lot of random things all the time. IContinue reading “Revelation”
Amplified
By: Gabriela Yareliz My coach (she has the House of Joy podcast) always says that whatever we focus on amplifies. We should always be trying to amplify joy. I am including here a podcast episode that had me laughing out loud on a delayed train. So if you are in transit, sick at home, atContinue reading “Amplified”
Theater
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Let the lie come into the world, let it even triumph. But not through me.” Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn It’s a liar’s world. People look around and wonder what and who they can trust. It’s hard to know what you can believe. Even the smartest can be deceived. Things are twisted and pulled outContinue reading “Theater”
