By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday, I was reading about a woman— I think she was Jamaican— who was seeking opportunity a long time ago (in Jamaica). Maybe three generations ago. It talked about one scholarship available sponsored by the British government. If you weren’t chosen, you had to expense the rest of it yourself in realContinue reading “Chapters”

The Future You
“There are people who love you for who you are but not for who you will be.” Erwin McManus By: Gabriela Yareliz McManus’ quote reminds us that some relationships are temporary. As one of his chapters in Mind Shift is titled, “You Can’t Take Everyone With You.” We are ever evolving. We have to holdContinue reading “The Future You”
Plan for the End
“I do not plan for the start of the year. I plan for the end.” Lauryn Bosstick I think Lauryn’s approach is the way we should do life. We envision what we want our lives to look like at the end, and then, we work backwards from there. Michael Bosstick, Lauryn’s husband, said on theirContinue reading “Plan for the End”
Not the Same
By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, life takes twists and turns that bring back emotions and thoughts that used to follow us around. We are triggered (for lack of a better word). We are like, this again? It happens. We are human. Internal safety has been a concept I have been exploring through my coaching program (God blessContinue reading “Not the Same”
Peace is the Key
By: Gabriela Yareliz As I’ve expanded my learning in biohacking and self-experimentation for health, one thing has become a highlight. I have realized that for many health goals, whether it is lowering glucose, lowering stress, burning fat and/or balancing hormones, most of these things start with a question– “How can I make my body feelContinue reading “Peace is the Key”
Optional

I don’t remember what was being shared, but I do remember the coach’s response: “Shame is optional.” I found that toContinue reading “Optional”
Sweeping Winter Transitions
By: Gabriela Yareliz Winter was always a season of transition. There were many instances where we were moving or something was happening mid-school year. Some sort of transition. Often, it was a dramatic move, from one state to another. The whole school situation is sort of a blur to me now. I can’t remember exactlyContinue reading “Sweeping Winter Transitions”
An Old Friend
By: Gabriela Yareliz HELLO I have been itching to get back here. My little fingers, burning to hit those keys in nonwork related matters. Typically, I am furiously plucking at my keyboard editing a motion while having a work Zoom meeting on in the background. I am also skilled at balancing my iPad on myContinue reading “An Old Friend”
A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s 2004. For Christmas, I get the new Paris Hilton fragrance with a black quilted handbag that has a little compact in it, and it has the name “Paris Hilton” embroidered into it in bright pink. The greatly coveted and cherished gift set. If you were a teen in the early 2000s,Continue reading “A Lesson from Ms. Hilton (Loves It)”
Change in the Air
By: Gabriela Yareliz Change is in the air, I was telling my friend Nikki not long ago. Sometimes, you just sort of feel it. We have had sunny days that hint at spring. They remind me of the hours I spent wandering the West Village toward the library on Leroy St. to go watch theContinue reading “Change in the Air”
