By: Gabriela Yareliz August. A time of transition. The true end and beginning of the year. This time always makes me think of wooden pencils, corduroy, and lined paper with the little holes. I saw somewhere that this autumn is expected to be cooler than most in NYC. August, while still officially summer, blurs intoContinue reading “August”

Behold the Values You Want to Embody
By: Gabriela Yareliz Below, I am sharing a gem of a podcast. A revisiting of key values. This podcast is perfect for parents, your kids, for anyone who will listen. The podcast version (audio only) is here. Sometimes, as I observe the young people and adults (including myself), I am reminded that we become likeContinue reading “Behold the Values You Want to Embody”
Mid-Week Update From AC
“An educated mind cannot be enslaved.” Candace Owens By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s one hundred and a gazillion degrees out. My train has AC, which is nice because my other trains this week felt like they were blowing hot air on us. I quite literally melted into my seat yesterday. This was after my employer shutContinue reading “Mid-Week Update From AC”
Noise, Despacito
“You need to build a mausoleum in your head with big iron doors so that nobody can get in there except you. You don’t let me in there, you don’t let June in there, you don’t let your manager in there, you don’t let the record company people in there. You have to decide forContinue reading “Noise, Despacito”
Brush with Evil
By: Gabriela Yareliz The world is small. Sometimes, it’s interesting to think of time overlaps. This is bound to happen in the randomness of life and also, in its mysterious synergies. These are moments where you and another person are in the same place but you don’t know each other then. For example, the momentsContinue reading “Brush with Evil”
Love Received
By: Gabriela Yareliz When a loved one has passed, we still think of them every day. We love them. We miss them. There would be no point in missing someone we won’t see again, but it’s like we know. We know this is not the end. I wonder what happens to all the love accumulatedContinue reading “Love Received”
The Emergence of Joy
“Happiness requires that you find meaning – and meaning comes from suffering.” Arthur Brooks By: Gabriela Yareliz SamySam on Instagram has an infectious energy I admire. He stands there and hollers his signature, “Life is goooooood,” and then, does a little dance. I just want to bottle that energy up and keep it in myContinue reading “The Emergence of Joy”
The Good, Too
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reflecting the other day— sometimes we look at the past or “trauma”, and we think about everything it left us without. Everything we didn’t have or receive. Whatever we lost. But what if we looked at everything we have and are and were grateful for what we went through. WhatContinue reading “The Good, Too”
The Feminine Wiring
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am on a train that says “No Service.” So far, it’s in service. Shannon Ford was on the TSC Podcast talking about pregnancy, recently. It was an awesome podcast. Lauryn Bosstick, the host, was also pregnant in these past few months; they talked about stuff I haven’t heard about. My favoriteContinue reading “The Feminine Wiring”
The Overwhelming Theme
“The overwhelming theme in the Old Testament is not that God is a god of wrath, but that God is a god of love, and that we keep making horrible choices. I think sometimes we think that love is the equivalent of acceptance of action. God always loves us without condition. He does not acceptContinue reading “The Overwhelming Theme”
