By: Gabriela Yareliz There is an elderly Asian couple that rides the morning train with me. The man has a walker with wheels that turns into a seat. He moves slowly. His wife always holds him firmly but gently, and sometimes, kisses his face under his baseball cap. Her arm is always around him. IContinue reading “True Love”

Everything
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I always have everything I need.” Edie Wadsworth I heard this thought during coaching, and it made me think— what if we said this to ourselves every day? It’s a statement of faith and gratitude.
Even the Unexpected
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading Cara Says It All, by Cara Alwill. She was talking about her upcoming marriage (and she is becoming a stepmom!). Her post was all about “ghosting” your old life.

You have to decide forContinue reading “Noise, Despacito”

“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”
