This Week’s Favorites 10.24.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve reached the end of October. The days start in the low 50s and end in the 70s. So hard to dress. I sweat through two jackets this week. I know I am always talking about sweating, but I don’t think I have sweat this much in my life like this year.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.24.26”
Soul Cure
By: Gabriela Yareliz There are weeks where we fall into old patterns of behavior, and we do not take proper care of ourselves. We all have them. This week, while sick no less, it was one of those weeks for me. I was doing my exercise routine but definitely overdid it at work. Falling backContinue reading “Soul Cure”
Last Week’s Favorites 09.13.26
Hello my fellow journey(wo)men, It’s a rainy morning here in NYC after some hot temperatures this week. The sun was roasting. The rest of us were yearning for fall. I am still wrapping up Nantucket Second Chances; you would have thought that with all of the brutal train delays this week I would have finishedContinue reading “Last Week’s Favorites 09.13.26”
Home State Behavior
By: Gabriela Yareliz Aziz Ansari grew up in South Carolina. I was discussing this, and how he talked about being different as a kid. Here in NYC, people have a habit of even categorizing their own ethnicity as those who are from here and those who are “fresh off the boat” so to speak. IContinue reading “Home State Behavior”

By: Gabriela Yareliz Next week, we’ll start September. Everyone keeps asking where summer went. I don’t know. My seasonal transitional cleaning is underway. Yesterday, I wiped down the kitchen cabinets, sorted through cans and refreshed extermination tools. I am satisfied with what I accomplished this week. This week, we lost many people, including the legendaryContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26”
This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26
A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”
Tio Freddy
By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was a child, I loved a Sabbath lunch at my Uncle (tio) Freddy’s house. His house was a magical and mysterious one. Each room had a theme and color scheme. The blue room with the lamps with beaded fringe was my favorite. The red bathroom was my favorite one. ThereContinue reading “Tio Freddy”
This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
