By: Gabriela Yareliz I walked out with a neighbor. There is an intimacy to being a neighbor. You hear them yell at their kids, and they see you go grab a package in PJs. So when you see each other fully dressed and calm moving through the real world, it’s always interesting. Not good orContinue reading “Neighbors, Histamines and Noticing”

This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)
“April, the angel of the months.” Vita Sackville-West By: Gabriela Yareliz Thank God March is over. That is all I can say. March was a month that felt a lot like drowning. It’s another day in another week, but when we start a new month, I picture a hand turning a page into a nextContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites (4.1.26)”
Taxes, Timing and Other Details
“[N]othing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” Benjamin Franklin, 1789 Letter By: Gabriela Yareliz Tax season is upon us. Why does it always feel like it just sneaks up on us? Seriously. ‘Tis the season to remember that the government takes more than half of what you earn. What’s new— other thanContinue reading “Taxes, Timing and Other Details”
I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am pretty sure I met my guardian angel today. It was a commute like any other. Kindle in hand, and noise everywhere. My train was four minutes away. I like to stand in an area of the platform where the police usually stands, next to a shed structure in the middle,Continue reading “I Was Pulled By An Angel In Times Square (Of All Places— I Know)”
I’m Learning to Breathe
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve all had moments of anxiety, panic and/or pain. Sometimes, it can feel like walls are closing in on us. Or maybe, it feels like a knife is stabbing us in the pelvis. At times, we can leave a present circumstance and reset (best case scenario). There have been times where IContinue reading “I’m Learning to Breathe”
Begin Again
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s officially spring. This week, many cultures celebrated something. There was Hindu new year, Eid, and the Persian new year Nowruz. New beginnings abound. The sky is a pale blue, and I overheard a bird song this morning. I had lunch with a new friend, this week. It was the first timeContinue reading “Begin Again”
Friday Gratitude
By: Gabriela Yareliz This morning, the bridge looked metallic silver in the bright sunshine. A good Friday morning to you! The train is quiet aside from gentle sniffles and the train conductor who sounds completely unhinged, but it’s not his fault— it’s the intercom. Most people’s eyes are closed. We made it. Even the girlContinue reading “Friday Gratitude”
This Week’s Favs 3.12.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, we went from 60F to 39F. It’s literally raining/snowing outside. The weather is wild. My torso is less on fire thanks to a plantain oil tincture I made. This stuff works. March feels so busy, and I haven’t even gotten to the taxes part of the to-do list. My bodyContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 3.12.26”
Spring Transition Outfits
By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reset. I love a good spring reset. Mine has consisted of better sleep, taking out caffeine and continued and progressive strength training. It will be a matchaless spring. Dr. Stolberg’s tea has been my go-to along with gynostemma (they call it the poor man’s ginseng). In this new warmth, some interestingContinue reading “Spring Transition Outfits”
Are We Healing From Casual?
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of my favorite things Nina Van Horn warns about in Just Shoot Me! is her theory that J.Crew and casualwear are destroying society. She had no idea it would be so much worse than J.Crew. J.Crew is formal compared to what we wear on the reg. It was the 90s afterContinue reading “Are We Healing From Casual?”
