By: Gabriela Yareliz Welcome June! I decided to start the summer with a trip to refresh Sephora favorites and a fake tan I forgot to wash off (true story). Why do people on 90s tv shows have breakfast with friends? Who has this kind of time other than the leadership at work who doesn’t showContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.06.26”

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”
Baby Jesus
“Oh my word, we have one more. I didn’t see that one. Someone left us another baby Jesus!” Lady with the blue eyeshadow at the Citrus Welcome Center in Ocala By: Gabriela Yareliz Everywhere we went, we found baby Jesuses. At the citrus center, restaurants, coffee shops, and even our captain on the glass bottomContinue reading “Baby Jesus”
Random Acts of Opportunity

Bloody Hell
By: Gabriela Yareliz I felt a rush go through my entire body, and then, a knot surged in my throat. I was walking to a training at a law firm in The New York Times building (yes, that New York Times), and I was scurrying toward the building from the train. I was excited aboutContinue reading “Bloody Hell”
Patron Saint of Ill Passengers
By: Gabriela Yareliz When you ride an Uber and you do not feel well, you feel every bump in the road. You feel every pothole and every poor, slapped on repair. In NYC, it can be a harrowing experience. There should be a patron saint of all sick Uber passengers. Praying for them all.
No Small Act
By: Gabriela Yareliz I went from listening to a podcast about Alix Earle vs Alex Cooper (I don’t know these people, but it’s all people can talk about) to Oprah talking about the Hoffman Process (I landed there after the heartwarming Emma Grede podcast). I was walking from an appointment, and the sun was showeringContinue reading “No Small Act”
Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More
By: Gabriela Yareliz I found a magic rice. It cooks in six minutes. I don’t know what that sorcery is. I looked for it again this week like it was a sack of magic legumes and didn’t find it. I am on the hunt for Brad’s Organic Basmati Rice. (After years of feeling pure antipathyContinue reading “Musings About Magic Rice, Meetings, Poison Control, and More”
Neighbors, Histamines and Noticing
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)”
