By: Gabriela Yareliz On Sunday, the NYC Marathon sliced my neighborhood in half. I kept wondering how I would make it to the other side. Then, when I needed to cross, the runners were gone and so were the barricades. Isn’t that how we spend most of our time? Worrying about things that will runContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: November 2, 2015”

Monday Inspiration: October 26, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz A happy Monday eve to you. Where are you going this week? I took a walk today. The neighborhood smells like leaves and bonfires. I forgot what sweet therapy walking is for the soul. I think this week it’ll be time to take the camera out for a spin to document theContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 26, 2015”
Friday Glee: October 23, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz This hellish little week had to be over at some point, right? I hope you accomplished everything on your list (I am very much a list person; maybe you have another way you tackle your tasks). It’s time for some self care. If you are a woman, then maybe this means makingContinue reading “Friday Glee: October 23, 2015”
Sunday Girl: October 18, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Figure out what it is you want and fight, fight, fight for it. Maybe, a lot of things in life are about seeing how far we are willing to go for something. There is no guarantee we will get it or even come close; and perhaps, along the journey, things will changeContinue reading “Sunday Girl: October 18, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: October 5, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, my people! On Friday, I spent a good amount of time fighting with my umbrella in torrential rains. Thank God I wear shorts under my skirts because the wind was looking for its next Marilyn. By the end of the day, I looked like I had walked through hurricane Joaquin– hair-in-mouthContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: October 5, 2015”
#Mood Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz Autumn makes me feel like I am stuck in an episode of Gilmore Girls; in an eternal autumn. Luke’s Diner, anyone? It makes me feel like I am in some time warp, in a classic 90s movie where NYC is dressed for the holidays. It’s that feeling of drinking tea with aContinue reading “#Mood Autumn”
Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015
“Little boy, if you tell me something God can do, I will give you this shiny apple,” a Bible teacher said to his best student. “Sir, if you can tell me something God can’t do, I will give you a whole barrel of apples,” the boy said. (Paraphrase from Dr. Tony Evans). “Obedience precedes blessings.”Continue reading “Tuesday Badinage: September 29, 2015”
Reflections Before Bedtime #41
By: Gabriela Yareliz “I am poor, but if I see eggnog, I will buy some.” It’s night. There is a full moon covered in a frosting made of fog. My limbs are aching after an extremely long and delightful walk. Today was beautiful. Walking is like a drug for me. It was a great dayContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #41”
Monday Inspiration: September 21, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz As I am writing this, it is still dark outside. I can see the bridge lights twinkling. My hair is wet and curling into an untamable mess. This week, two of my dear friends turned a year older, Liz and Feliz. It’s crazy when you start calculating time, and you realize howContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 21, 2015”
Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hi, hi! It’s Monday! (Partytime music in background). I hope you are ready to conquer your week. The weekend was nice. I met some new people, walked like 70 blocks through Manhattan in fall weather (in heels), cooked, wore a hairnet, started up some Arabic lessons after years of neglect, caught upContinue reading “Monday Inspiration: September 14, 2015”
