“We’re literally paying subscription fees to watch characters who represent the worst versions of ourselves.” Kelly Oxford By: Gabriela Yareliz Erwin McManus, the creator and author of The Seven Frequencies of Communication, has often said that when we watch modern TV shows such as Succession, what we are watching are people expressing shadow communication frequencies.Continue reading “Shadows”

A Historic Day
By: Gabriela Yareliz I think we all woke up knowing the world was shifting right beneath our feet. I woke up to the headline below, and clicked into it wondering if this was real. (A sort of déjà vu for Latin America and those who know its history). Mandoka, a Venezuelan cookbook author based outContinue reading “A Historic Day”
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”
For the In-Between Days
By: Gabriela Yareliz Snow is falling softly outside. We are under winter advisory. None of us knows which day of the week it is. We are in the in-between days that lead us to a new chapter. This new iPhone update is trippy. I read a while and spent too much time on Pinterest. IContinue reading “For the In-Between Days”
Winter Wonderland
A wintry Central Park moment.
Intersections and Delays
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was absolutely sure someone was sabotaging my laundry run by holding the elevator on the fourth floor. Here’s the thing— the only way to get the basement where the machines are is via elevator. There is no staircase. I patiently waited (my frustration mounting). I wondered if I was going toContinue reading “Intersections and Delays”
A Child’s Surprise
We saw a gift that was delivered downstairs, close to the entry door. It was this enormous box with one of those motorized cars kids can sit in and ride. When we read the address on the box, we realized it was for my tiny neighbor right next to us down the hall. We gotContinue reading “A Child’s Surprise”
This Week’s Update
By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were, J and me, memorizing Super Bass by Nicki Minaj for our law school clinic’s talent show/ karaoke night in this tiny basement establishment in Greenwich Village. I can still rap parts of it. This week, I was heartened to see the greatest female rapper of our time address theContinue reading “This Week’s Update”
Winds Unleashed
By: Gabriela Yareliz The wind has been jogging my memory, lately. Have you ever been on a walk and been pushed by the wind? I guess what is worse is when you end up walking against a gust that makes you levitate. Everyone who has been in NYC knows these streets turn into wind tunnels.Continue reading “Winds Unleashed”
The Nightcap from Hell
By: Gabriela Yareliz I ripped off my eye mask, heart racing. I am almost sure the smart tracker with a heart monitor on my wrist was about to go off. I hear ambulance sirens at a distance— it is NYC after all. I repeat to myself, inaudible, that none of that was real to bringContinue reading “The Nightcap from Hell”
