By: Gabriela Yareliz The world is small. Sometimes, it’s interesting to think of time overlaps. This is bound to happen in the randomness of life and also, in its mysterious synergies. These are moments where you and another person are in the same place but you don’t know each other then. For example, the momentsContinue reading “Brush with Evil”

The Emergence of Joy
“Happiness requires that you find meaning – and meaning comes from suffering.” Arthur Brooks By: Gabriela Yareliz SamySam on Instagram has an infectious energy I admire. He stands there and hollers his signature, “Life is goooooood,” and then, does a little dance. I just want to bottle that energy up and keep it in myContinue reading “The Emergence of Joy”
The Love You Deserve
Virtue
On this July fourth, I leave you with some words from Ryan Holiday: “It’s July 4th, 1776. The Founding Fathers are about to make a very loud statement about freedom and independence. They will, over the next several bloody and bleak years, give nearly everything in order to will it-and a new nation-into existence. ButContinue reading “Virtue”
The Good, Too
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reflecting the other day— sometimes we look at the past or “trauma”, and we think about everything it left us without. Everything we didn’t have or receive. Whatever we lost. But what if we looked at everything we have and are and were grateful for what we went through. WhatContinue reading “The Good, Too”

Lauryn Bosstick, the host, was also pregnant in these past few months; they talked about stuff I haven’t heard about. My favoriteContinue reading “The Feminine Wiring”
The Machine
“We don’t know how close we are to feeling good.” Dr. Hyman By: Gabriela Yareliz Have you ever worked so much you started to feel numb? This is a familiar place for me. Familiar but unpleasant. Work sometimes feels like The Machine from The Princess Bride. (I was in The Machine today. More on thatContinue reading “The Machine”
Reflection
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was walking through the rain today, as finally temps went from 105F to 75F. The cool breeze was like a shock to my body as it hit my legs with the sprinkle of rain. I got to thinking in my rainy walk sans umbrella— how many people in the world actuallyContinue reading “Reflection”
Contribution
By: Gabriela Yareliz Why does the world breathe easier today because you are in it? This was a question that came up in Dr. Amen’s brain course, which I am finishing up. The world isn’t fair, the course reminds us (hilarious that they thought we needed that reminder), but rather than looking for what isContinue reading “Contribution”
Florida Heat
By: Gabriela Yareliz Even if two teams play brilliantly, only one wins. There will always be someone who falls second. Even if it’s barely second in a game that goes into overtime. (Overtime is something we can talk about later— life sometimes feels like an OT. You are exhausted, but still in the game, fightingContinue reading “Florida Heat”
