By: Gabriela Yareliz Today, I am linking to some sage advice. I have had this tab open on my phone for probably at least a year. I always come back to it. Check out the Excellent Advice for Living here! The one that always rings through my head is: “Don’t fear failure. Fear average.”

A Great Prayer
“Giving is a great prayer.” Elena Brower, “Tenses: six,” Softening Time By: Gabriela Yareliz My husband and I live in a pre-war apartment, which means we have a hot pipe that runs through the bathroom that now glows with heat. I walked past it this morning, and felt the warmth radiating from below the chippedContinue reading “A Great Prayer”
A Train (Love) Story
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw the most precious duo on the train (I know— that is a rare statement). Usually, the trains feel like they emerge from hell (D train, I am looking at you)— but here we are. A different morning. Maybe, I was looking for something different, and that helped me find it.Continue reading “A Train (Love) Story”
The Path is Paved By Choices
“If the path before you is clear, you’re probably on someone else’s.” Joseph Campbell By: Gabriela Yareliz Our path is one we need to clear. That requires making decisions. Choices. I think the world is full of people who are afraid to take ownership of their decisions because they don’t trust they can make theContinue reading “The Path is Paved By Choices”
When Grief Rips Through
“Let’s not romanticize grief. It is a ghost parade. Sleep doesn’t come. Only reckoning.” Rainier Wylde By: Gabriela Yareliz Grief can stem from so many things or circumstances.

Kairos lets go.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz Time and growth. There has been an insistent pattern in my reading about both lately. The theme has been aboutContinue reading “The Essential for the Pilgrimage”
To the Unseen Words
By: Gabriela Yareliz This one goes out to all the morning pages, journal pages and brain dumps where we process all of the words that jam into our brain channels. Where we let it all out and then, feel free. The great unclogging. I ended last week with a ton of pent up energy andContinue reading “To the Unseen Words”
Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
An Overlooked Blessing
“I’m grateful that Heaven operates on a ‘need to know’ basis. It’s one of life’s most overlooked blessings.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz When life squeezes us and wrings us like an old cleaning rag, we often wish we could have seen whatever we are going through ahead of time. Usually, our wish toContinue reading “An Overlooked Blessing”
Forgiveness
“Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes, they forgive them.” Oscar Wilde, The Picture of Dorian Gray By: Gabriela Yareliz You know what a fun nostalgic watch is for me? Just Shoot Me! Nina Van Horn is forever an icon. I have been rewatching with my husband inContinue reading “Forgiveness”
