By: Gabriela Yareliz Here we are speeding toward the Times Square train station, which is a non-stop circus. Each corner curiously serves a different genre of music. I heard an old black man sing “Stand By Me,” better than the original (as I ran past him); a man singing and dancing salsa with an enviableContinue reading “Morning Trains”

Photo of the Year
Calling this the photo of 2024. UNC-Chapel Hill frat bros hoisting and protecting the American flag from anti-Israel protestors while being pelted with water bottles, rocks and sticks. Hats off to the gentlemen. Nothing like a southern state school. Following this, money was raised for a frat rager. Name something more American. God bless America.Continue reading “Photo of the Year”
April 2024 Favorites
By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope you enjoy my scrapbook vibe of a blog. There is so much here. I can’t wait to share. I have included some of my photos from my adventures throughout the apocalyptic month. It was a fun one! The month started with an eclipse that brought all business to a (sanctioned)Continue reading “April 2024 Favorites”
The Iconoclast Russell Brand
“Isn’t the point of religion for us to access an aspect of ourself that is connected to a force that allows us to discern moral truths that enable us to live well, materially? To have relationships with one another that are guided by principles other than spite, vengeance and vendetta. And ultimately, the most powerfulContinue reading “The Iconoclast Russell Brand”
The Unchangeable Drive for Progress

The Train Awards
By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were. All of us in the moving train car. A small bullet of speed moving underground (much too slow). All of us like shards of glass soon to be dispersed into a million little directions, launched into our day. But before that, we are sharing space. We are avoiding eyeContinue reading “The Train Awards”
You are Invited
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You are not meant to be a house cat. You were meant to be bold, adventurous and to chase something. You were meant to be a lion. Stop sitting around living in safety, comfort and fear. Stop being a house cat. Be the lion you are and go after the life youContinue reading “You are Invited”
Becoming Fascinating
By: Gabriela Yareliz We got an unseasonably warm and sunny day at Fonthill Castle, Henry Mercer’s home and tile empire headquarters. The sun was dancing with the daffodils and revealing to us the clear nature of the stream below the castle terrace. Who is Henry Chapman Mercer? That is a good question (I had noContinue reading “Becoming Fascinating”
March 2024 Favorites
Here I am– a bit late. Late on many things. I literally have to do my taxes tonight. March was a month of overwhelming joy. There is sort of no other way to describe it. I was overwhelmed at work. Overwhelmed with gratitude in my personal life. I spent time with family and beautiful peopleContinue reading “March 2024 Favorites”
February 2024 Favorites
February was a jam-packed month. We found this beautiful coffee place called Felix’s. I tried Spring Aspen Cafe and Jack’s Wife Freda (loved their salmon burger). We spent a beautiful day out-of-state doing important things. It was incredibly memorable. I loved my flowers that I was gifted that day. We ate good food. It wasContinue reading “February 2024 Favorites”
