Reminder
By: Gabriela Yareliz My old executive coach wrote to me the other day to check in. It was sweet. When she texted, I was feeling annoying, exhausted and in some weird raging PMS state. Something about that woman inspires me to set boundaries. Her sweet text jolted me (positively). When she texted to say hi,Continue reading “Reminder”
Craft Heaven
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was on the train (naturally— when am I not?), and I saw an ad for a new Hobby Lobby in Tribeca. This is not a drill! We have a Hobby Lobby. Hobby Lobby reminds me of my days in Gainesville. I love the smell in there. We love Hobby Lobby inContinue reading “Craft Heaven”

Moving Toward Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially autumn. The express train is weirdly emptier than usual, though I spot some of my regular commuting buddies. It was a warm last week, and temperatures are dropping again into the sixties. Bliss. I have yet to get to seasonal cleaning, but I will. This week, I am feeling theContinue reading “Moving Toward Autumn”
The Woman in White
By: Gabriela Yareliz There was a woman on the train holding her toddler. She was sitting in a double seat bench, wearing all white and a white hat. She had long dark braids with metal hoops braided into her hair. She was incredibly polished, and at the same time, simple. It was already 8pm, butContinue reading “The Woman in White”
