A Bit Better

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw a question in passing the other day— what could make your life 17% better this week? Let’s go— Not getting slapped in the face by the napkin on the street that gets swept up by the wind and flies wildly looking for its next victim. (Sick). Getting some appointments bookedContinue reading “A Bit Better”

Wisdom from Tracy Tutor

Because sometimes you need to fight like a girl. By: Gabriela Yareliz I enjoyed Tracy Tutor’s Fear is Just a Four-Letter Word. It’s a great book on how to work with difficult people and succeed in difficult situations. I never saw her on reality TV and yet somehow, I landed in her orbit. She isContinue reading “Wisdom from Tracy Tutor”

This Week’s Favorites 10.16.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz It was unseasonably warm this week. Please, we do not want to regress into summer. I sweat more than I care to admit, this week. Ever had those moments where you are like, is it my period or sweat that I feel soaking through my pants? (And given my track record— itContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.16.26”

This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz I am sitting here staring at my bag of baby Jesuses. I need to do better and distribute them. The week went. Maybe it was the PMS, but it was a week of a wide range of emotions. You just feel everything amplified. The joy (petting alpacas) and the rage (people whoContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.09.26”

The Office Writers Finally Wrote a Woman I Like

And her name is Mare Pritti, and she is on Peacock’s The Paper (The Office spinoff with Oscar Martinez). By: Gabriela Yareliz I have waxed poetic on how the flaw of The Office is there are no women to be admired. The ones that had purpose and intelligence— they ruined. Jan goes insane. Holly isContinue reading “The Office Writers Finally Wrote a Woman I Like”

Hi! Hi!

From my throne of crumpled tissues. By: Gabriela Yareliz Greetings from the couch, where I sit like a queen surrounded by tissues. It has been a sniffly one. I am slowly regaining my ability to breathe through my nose. My nose is drying up. Bless. Yesterday, was a meaningful Tunnel to Towers. Due to theContinue reading “Hi! Hi!”

Popped

People love to be helpless. People feel comfortable being assholes. By: Gabriela Yareliz People do a lot without consequence, now. People hide behind their delusions, phone screens, AI slop, and handles and screen names that lend anonymity. People sue others for the decisions they made and responsibility they share. People hate responsibility and ownership. TheyContinue reading “Popped”

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”

Summer Tweed

By: Gabriela Yareliz Have I gotten weak? I wondered. I watched the woman walk across the train platform in a beige tweed blazer. You have to understand, the day has 100% humidity, and it has rained on and off. It’s not cooling rain; it’s steaming rain. The air is sticky, or as Theo Von says,Continue reading “Summer Tweed”
