Waldorf Glamour
By: Gabriela Yareliz Night fell on the Upper East Side. After a delicious raclette sandwich, we navigated the pockets of sidewalk ice and dark residential buildings. We passed the new JP Morgan Chase building, which is stunning (like a monument to capitalism— it stands there with the biggest Christmas wreaths I have ever seen, ‘HappyContinue reading “Waldorf Glamour”
Closing Out 2025
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s cold and gray out here in NYC. Feels like 12F outside. It’s sick, but this is the price we pay for all seasons. Some slushy mountains of snow remain.

Wishing you all the space and grace to feel as you do, remembering that no feeling is permanent. Allow it to move through you, and it might just make space for something fresh and new.”Continue reading “Born of the Fire”
Rich
Mindful News is right— we are rich. We lead a charmed life. “My hot water works on a dime, my a/c works when I need it too, I can go to any grocery store and purchase what I please to eat, I have a clean kitchen to cook in, I have a clean shower toContinue reading “Rich”
How Does This Play Out?
“Wealth, to me, is discernment.” Mari Fonseca By: Gabriela Yareliz We are entering uncharted territory. We arrived here strongly during the pandemic, and we are still watching this unfold.
