By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s November. Apple picking is done for the season. The elections came and went, and here we are. Amazing. I don’t want to sound like a broken record, like that girl whose podcast I always listened to, but then she said the same thing every time and would cry in every episode,Continue reading “On the NYC Train”

Be True
By: Gabriela Yareliz Thérèse Desqueyroux. Does that name ring a bell? Thérèse Desqueyroux is François Mauriac’s most respected novel. It was turned into a film with the brilliant Audrey Tautou starring as Thérèse. Indulge me. Spoiler and storyline breakdown (it was published in 1927– so if you haven’t read it by now— *eye roll*): It’sContinue reading “Be True”
An August Photo Diary
By: Gabriela Yareliz Hello, friends. Here we are. At the end of another month. It has been one of a lot of growth for me, I feel. One of those months where you feel the way gum looks when you lift up your shoe, and it is stretched into little strings. Expanded. Here are someContinue reading “An August Photo Diary”
What do you see?
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was sitting in court when a court staff member sat beside me. He asked me how my weekend had gone, and told me that now that I am young, I should make sure each weekend is the best weekend I ever had. I smiled politely, taking a break from my NewContinue reading “What do you see?”
College of Communication
By: Gabriela Yareliz (inspired by a talk by Sarah May B. and lots of introspection) Hello and happy Monday. I am learning (or trying to learn) more about communication. (How is that for a direct opening?) You start to care more about growing in painful areas when you know you love someone so much thatContinue reading “College of Communication”
New Balance
By: Gabriela Yareliz Let’s call this the year of finding balance. Let’s. Or maybe, the year I learned that every year is a year of finding balance. I am realizing (as naive as it may sound), that each year brings its own unique set of scales. Balance looks different as life continues to pass usContinue reading “New Balance”
Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a gloomy day, not just because it’s French Election Day. The sky is dark. Issues with my (gas) stove and other matters have me stressed out. I will be fine. I sat down, and I asked myself why I felt that tightness in my chest. I swear it all begins when I,Continue reading “Femme de dimanche: le 7 mai”
On My Way
By: Gabriela Yareliz I like my peaceful homebody moments. I will be in my kitchen, chopping away and intrigued by all of my senses. I learn so much in those moments of edible chemistry. Last week, as I stirred a risotto to death, I learned that vegetable stock and vegetable broth are not the sameContinue reading “On My Way”
Relationship Building
[Image from GQ] By: Gabriela Yareliz A note taken from Chrissy Teigen and John Legend: Can we admit that Chrissy Teigen and John Legend are an amazing pair and hilarious couple? Their chemistry; their banter; their sense of humor. More than a couple; they are a marriage. They are very much a golden marriage, andContinue reading “Relationship Building”
Compatibility
[Image from Tumblr] “Our culture has really fallen for this idea that compatibility is this thing you find or this thing you test for– and that’s just not true. Compatibility is something you create. You learn to enjoy one another; you learn to be compatible. […] Character trumps compatibility; compatibility flows from your character.” PastorContinue reading “Compatibility”
