Peace is the Key

By: Gabriela Yareliz As I’ve expanded my learning in biohacking and self-experimentation for health, one thing has become a highlight. I have realized that for many health goals, whether it is lowering glucose, lowering stress, burning fat and/or balancing hormones, most of these things start with a question– “How can I make my body feelContinue reading “Peace is the Key”

Covered

By: Gabriela Yareliz Every day, we have the opportunity to pray over people and quite literally change the course of their lives. See, prayer gives God and heavenly angels the permission to intervene in lives where maybe that person has closed the door to it (or they aren’t intentionally seeking it). Our requests are honored.Continue reading “Covered”

Morning Trains

By: Gabriela Yareliz Here we are speeding toward the Times Square train station, which is a non-stop circus. Each corner curiously serves a different genre of music. I heard an old black man sing “Stand By Me,” better than the original (as I ran past him); a man singing and dancing salsa with an enviableContinue reading “Morning Trains”

April 2024 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz I hope you enjoy my scrapbook vibe of a blog. There is so much here. I can’t wait to share. I have included some of my photos from my adventures throughout the apocalyptic month. It was a fun one! The month started with an eclipse that brought all business to a (sanctioned)Continue reading “April 2024 Favorites”

The Train Awards

By: Gabriela Yareliz There we were. All of us in the moving train car. A small bullet of speed moving underground (much too slow). All of us like shards of glass soon to be dispersed into a million little directions, launched into our day. But before that, we are sharing space. We are avoiding eyeContinue reading “The Train Awards”

Winter Lessons

Themes from today: 1. In a nutshell— what Marcus Aurelius said: “Comfort is the worst addiction.” 2. Miracles are everywhere. Truly. 3. “Change is the right danger to choose.” Erwin Raphael McManus 4. If the ending ain’t good, you haven’t reached the end yet. There is so much more than what meets the eye.

The Eyebrow Spa

By: Gabriela Yareliz Ms. Shah is a pro— or so I heard. She had on spa music that matches my favorite massage place, and her storefront business was packed. “That music is the secret to keeping everyone calm while they wait,” Ms. Shah said laughing. I had wandered over to Ms. Shah’s eyebrow spa becauseContinue reading “The Eyebrow Spa”

Hello Sunshine My Old Friend

By: Gabriela Yareliz The local ABC channel was tracking our sunless day streak in NYC. Ten days without a ray of sunshine. My neighborhood was pure darkness. If I didn’t turn on the light, I couldn’t see what was in front of me. I took a walk yesterday in pouring rain. It looked like lateContinue reading “Hello Sunshine My Old Friend”

Warm Wishes

By: Gabriela Yareliz First Star I See Tonight. I Wish I May, I Wish I Might, Have the Wish I Wish Tonight. “Can we pretend that airplanes in the night sky are like shooting stars? Because I could really use a wish right now.” B.o.B. ft. Hayley Williams, “Airplanes” Yesterday, I saw bright specs hoveringContinue reading “Warm Wishes”

Daring to be Alive

By: Gabriela Yareliz There has been so much pain and heaviness this month. I have wanted to come close and write but have sort of been at a loss for words. The attack on Israel on October 7 was horrific to watch. Hostages are still being held and away from their loved ones. I couldContinue reading “Daring to be Alive”
