Game Six (Category 5)

The Carolina Hurricanes reached category five, and they swept the VGK with no mercy. By: Gabriela Yareliz We all underestimated them, but they came ready to grind like a good Southern team. The tarp was off, last night. Yesterday’s win was not luck or circumstance. It was pure grit and systematic grind. Game six endedContinue reading “Game Six (Category 5)”

Knicks in Five

Congrats to the Knicks and the City of New York. Yesterday, you could feel the buzz of energy as you walked past certain bars and establishments. (And this was during the day before the game even started). History has been made. NY sports sometimes feel like they have a crusty old curse on them. WillContinue reading “Knicks in Five”

This Week’s Favs 06.13.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a busy week. I walked a lot more than usual, which felt nice. I have been doing The Core’s 21-Day Program. I am on day eight.

It was a total snooze fest until the last half of the second period, where theContinue reading “Game Three”

This Week’s Favorites 06.06.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome June! I decided to start the summer with a trip to refresh Sephora favorites and a fake tan I forgot to wash off (true story). Why do people on 90s tv shows have breakfast with friends? Who has this kind of time other than the leadership at work who doesn’t showContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.06.26”

Perfect

“Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.” Dr. Anne Wilson Schaef By: Gabriela Yareliz Consideration for others is important. Doing your best— also so important. Keys to a life well-lived. You know what sucks and needs to be disposed of? Perfectionism. At times, it’s engrained in us as children from external sources. Sometimes, it’s personalityContinue reading “Perfect”

Love Yours

By: Gabriela Yareliz “Love yours,” was spray painted in red on a lamppost as cursive graffiti. An excellent reminder to love your people and also, it reminded me of Emma Grede’s book, Start With Yourself. As we start the week, I want us to focus on how we are actively showing love around us, butContinue reading “Love Yours”
