Thank You, Peter Segal, et al.

By: Gabriela Yareliz In Tara Schuster’s last book, there is a scene where she sees her therapist, and she tells her therapist that she is feeling really anxious. She describes everything that has been happening, and her therapist patiently listens, and at the end, the therapist tells her, “You aren’t anxious, you are furious.” IContinue reading “Thank You, Peter Segal, et al.”

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”

Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)

Van Horn (portrayed by Wendie Malick) has incredible style. There are barely any photos or pieces on her fashion because she was a fixture on a 90s television show, Just Shoot Me. I did find one (some of our images are from this article and IMDb). Nina is a former (and legendary) supermodel turned editorContinue reading “Icono Series: Nina Van Horn (Just Shoot Me)”

The episodes are very short, so it wasn’t hard to do when I would play it while I cooked, cleaned and ran errands on the streets. So, I guess I wasn’t watching as much as I was listening, but still. At aContinue reading “Relatable from Seinfeld”

Into the Pool

By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I am sharing one of those anecdotes one simply does not forget from Born Standing Up, the bio by Steve Martin on his (brilliant) career in comedy. (I am a big fan). The book has a monochrome cover image with the title and his name in bright, sans serif yellow letters.Continue reading “Into the Pool”

2020 People

By: Gabriela Yareliz The other night, I was at the window searching for that Christmas star situation. Hand gripping the window sill that was probably painted over for the hundredth time in 1992, twisting my neck to see if I could catch a glimpse of anything behind the thick ceiling of gray clouds that reflectContinue reading “2020 People”

Decade in Review 2009-2019: Being Gabriela

By: Gabriela Yareliz I thought it would be fun to briefly take a short walk through this past decade to highlight some memories that helped make me, me. I started this blog at the Marston Science Library at the University of Florida. I was probably wearing corduroy pants and a shirt someone passed down toContinue reading “Decade in Review 2009-2019: Being Gabriela”
