This Week’s Favorites 08.28.26

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”

River Water

By: Gabriela Yareliz Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that we should see ourselves like a river. We shouldn’t overwhelm ourselves with shame over what has happened when we were ignorant, but accept that if we reflect and learn, we are like moving water. We become new. The person we are today is different fromContinue reading “River Water”

I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”

Protection

“Someone perceiving you incorrectly can be a form of spiritual protection.” I read that somewhere, and it stayed on my mind.

Your Time

I was reminded about time by Gary Vee and Andy Frisella. Andy Frisella, creator of 75hard and 1st Phorm, is always an inspiration. Andy Frisella shared this photo of him at age 36, ten years ago. Sometimes, all we need to do is recognize the time we have and take responsibility for it. And it’sContinue reading “Your Time”

This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”

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”

Reflections on an Equation

By: Gabriela Yareliz There is no good greater than God’s presence. And so much of life becomes a question of what evil, and sometimes what mediocre, lesser good are we willing to surrender for the greatest good of all— to see His face. To stand in His presence for eternity and to worship. So muchContinue reading “Reflections on an Equation”

A Hope For Those Feeling Broken

By: Gabriela Yareliz Jena Covello is a household name— she is the founder of Agent Nateur. She posts a lot of health content, specifically around hormones and endometriosis, as this started her journey with Agent Nateur (finding/creating a clean deodorant). Her recent posts had me sad. The woman went through like one year pain-free, andContinue reading “A Hope For Those Feeling Broken”
