TKOs and Success

By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this video, and I had to share. I was super inspired by it. I love the fact that boxing is a huge theme in the video. Boxing is analogous to life; there is struggle; there is pain; there is discipline; there are choices, and there is potential victory. So, if you are down for motivation and fantasticContinue reading “TKOs and Success”

Be the Baker

“Every day you have to just go make the bread. You know, you are like a baker or something. You know, every day– just get up, and go do it. And sometimes, you don’t have the answers right now, but in doing it, you will find your answers, [and] your way.” Garance Doré In French literature (and inContinue reading “Be the Baker”

This Month’s Picks: September 2014

It’s official–October, baby! Life continues at its slow-fast pace. Life can be looked at in different ways. It can turn into a waiting game. It can turn into a list of things to do.

The trek up to this area of the park which is kind of parallel to East Harlem wasContinue reading “The Conservatory Garden”

$60 for a Life Diagnosis

This is my skeptical, dramatic face. By: Gabriela Yareliz “Some days are meant to be counted, others are meant to be weighed.” ― Elizabeth Gilbert, Eat, Pray, Love This is how it all began: The weather has been hot, sticky and nauseating. Our air conditioner at work decides to give out when heat levels rise–you’dContinue reading “$60 for a Life Diagnosis”

#Neighbors

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s funny how when you live in an apartment building, you know your neighbors. I am not talking about full conversations and dinner parties (although, some may be that lucky)… I guess it would be more accurate to say that you know about your neighbors. There’s the neighbor who you believe neverContinue reading “#Neighbors”
