Ain’t So
“It ain’t what you don’t know that gets you in trouble, it’s what you know for sure that just ain’t so.” Mark Twain By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night, Steve Valiquette said (during an intermission) there was no way the NY Rangers, a team that has plunged into some sort of identity crisis, would lose toContinue reading “Ain’t So”
Secrets
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you have watched enough of The Office, you know Scranton has one stripper. She shows up dressed like a nurse to help give a charity check, and she shows up in other ways at Dunder Mifflin. She says, “Secrets secrets are no fun.

This Matters
By: Gabriela Yareliz “You want a meaningful life? Everything you do, matters. Everything.” Dr. Jordan B. Peterson When I read the quote above by JBP, I nodded. I have always seen life this way.

Armor of the Brave
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, I was reflecting on the following quote- which I think is from Peaky Blinders. Inspiring Irish gangsters. Leaving it here for your own reflection: “It takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations. Kindness isn’t weak. It’s the quiet rule of strength. When the world shows its teeth, snarling and ready to bite,Continue reading “Armor of the Brave”

What we often forget is that the baseline that truly determines this and also our choices is how we speak to ourselves. When was the last time we reflected on how we speak to ourselves? Is it harsh? Is it kind?Continue reading “Baseline”
