By: Gabriela Yareliz “How often do you go on vacation?” the sales associate asked us dutifully. When we told him this was the only one in recent history, I saw a mix of shock and slight pity flash across his face. It triggered a small wave of shame that I decided to shake off quickly.Continue reading “Play”

Game Four
This is a shallow report… brace yourself. By: Gabriela Yareliz Listen, we can talk about how Carolina brought game. They beat the VGK with the Staal goal and the wild Ehlers empty-netter from the other side’s boards. Rod Brind’Amour was wide-eyed, and Dominique Ducharme for VGK, with the white hair and beard, had crazy eyesContinue reading “Game Four”

You know what sucks and needs to be disposed of? Perfectionism. At times, it’s engrained in us as children from external sources. Sometimes, it’s personalityContinue reading “Perfect”
Love Yours
By: Gabriela Yareliz “Love yours,” was spray painted in red on a lamppost as cursive graffiti. An excellent reminder to love your people and also, it reminded me of Emma Grede’s book, Start With Yourself. As we start the week, I want us to focus on how we are actively showing love around us, butContinue reading “Love Yours”
