By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, the bridge looked metallic silver in the bright sunshine. A good Friday morning to you! The train is quiet aside from gentle sniffles and the train conductor who sounds completely unhinged, but it’s not his fault— it’s the intercom. Most people’s eyes are closed. We made it. Even the girlContinue reading “Friday Gratitude”

Spring Transition Outfits
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reset. I love a good spring reset. Mine has consisted of better sleep, taking out caffeine and continued and progressive strength training. It will be a matchaless spring. Dr. Stolberg’s tea has been my go-to along with gynostemma (they call it the poor man’s ginseng). In this new warmth, some interestingContinue reading “Spring Transition Outfits”
Wisdom from Martha Graeff
Words and advice by Martha Graeff: “1. Not everyone who loves you knows how to show up for you; 2. Peace is more valuable than being understood; 3.

Are We Healing From Casual?
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things Nina Van Horn warns about in Just Shoot Me! is her theory that J.Crew and casualwear are destroying society. She had no idea it would be so much worse than J.Crew. J.Crew is formal compared to what we wear on the reg. It was the 90s afterContinue reading “Are We Healing From Casual?”
Sarah Dessen is Back
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw a guy with the tip of his hair flicked up with hair gel. It was such a 2003 moment. Speaking of 2003– I was thinking about the two writers who had many of us (me specifically) in a chokehold during the early 2000s. One was Phyllis Reynolds Naylor, writer ofContinue reading “Sarah Dessen is Back”
My Torso is on Fire
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s going to be a rainy week. Today is the one sunny day, and I am grateful. You can just feel the March energy, even though it was freezing this morning. I saw someone start their post by saying they feel like they are drowning (it was all on the luxury ofContinue reading “My Torso is on Fire”
Welcome, March!
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy March! We enter the month that invites an unstable spring into our lives. It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -Charles Dickens It’s the season of spring break andContinue reading “Welcome, March!”
Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz The snow piles remain. Winter has us all about to fling ourselves on the snow piles in resignation. “Just leave me here,” we want to say. But “onward,” as someone who does nothing at work typically says to those doing the heavy lifting. Onward, indeed. Today, I heard a clown horn (youContinue reading “Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26”
Wisdom on Winning by Andy Frisella
Words by Andy Frisella: “ASK YOURSELF… HOW CAN YOU INSPIRE THE NEXT GENERATION OF WINNERS IF THEY DONT UNDERSTAND WHAT WINNING LOOKS LIKE? THEY DONT KNOW WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE BECAUSE THE REAL WINNERS DONT SHOW THEIR LIVES OR TELL THEIR STORIES BECAUSE THEY GET SO MUCH STATIC ABOUT IT. HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT ABOUTContinue reading “Wisdom on Winning by Andy Frisella”
Keeping the Garden
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring arrives on March 20. I love spring. It always arrives right on time— when winter has beat us up and left us in a heaping pile like the inches of snow dropped on us. Friday was exhausting. It was exacerbated by the anxiety that loomed over me when I realized IContinue reading “Keeping the Garden”
