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”

Mobile Vibe Shifter
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was one of those mornings where I was in a rush. So much so that I had forgotten to put on deodorant. (I hate those days when this accidentally happens). I ran out like a lunatic, and as I made my way to the train station, I heard music. It wasContinue reading “Mobile Vibe Shifter”
Who to Look For
By: Gabriela Yareliz Only Murders in the Buildings is in its best season yet. Its latest episode reminds us of an important principle for life. Always pay attention to who wants to silence you, then, ask yourself why. Important life skill.
Simplifying for Autumn
By: Gabriela Yareliz The goal is to simplify. As the seasons turn, I have that urge to clean, as I have mentioned before. It’s a built-in syndrome or something. This cleaning is not limited to actual closet sweeps, but also, apps, subscriptions, etc. It’s time to take inventory. I still need to do a comprehensiveContinue reading “Simplifying for Autumn”
A NYC Monday
My Kindle is out of battery. I am reading a crappy book, but it beats this. We are a captive train audience. A man in a Knicks hat with tattoos sleeves on each arm is foaming at the mouth and yelling into people’s faces. The devil has found us today. The disturbed man dishes insults toContinue reading “A NYC Monday”
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”
Open Road
By: Gabriela Yareliz I fell in love with this country from the backseat of a car. The Smokies making my ears pop and the blur of orange stone. The small stores in the middle of nowhere where you can find a good Moon Pie. Fields of green with the fog lifting at snail’s pace. TinyContinue reading “Open Road”
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”
Gift of Life
“You still have life. A choice as to how you will live this precious day.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz The week felt eternal, and yet, the month has flown by. It’s been one of those weeks where I wake up and feel like I didn’t sleep a wink. There has been a lotContinue reading “Gift of Life”
An Overlooked Blessing
“I’m grateful that Heaven operates on a ‘need to know’ basis. It’s one of life’s most overlooked blessings.” Sarah Ban Breathnach By: Gabriela Yareliz When life squeezes us and wrings us like an old cleaning rag, we often wish we could have seen whatever we are going through ahead of time. Usually, our wish toContinue reading “An Overlooked Blessing”
