By: Gabriela Yareliz Sometimes, when it’s summer, I venture away from my typical nonfiction read to a fictional book. They are starting to feel the same, though. If I had a dollar for every book I have read that starts in Boston. Then, the protagonist ends up in Nantucket, Cape Cod, etc. She is alwaysContinue reading “The Anatomy of a Summer Fiction Book”

August
By: Gabriela Yareliz August. A time of transition. The true end and beginning of the year. This time always makes me think of wooden pencils, corduroy, and lined paper with the little holes. I saw somewhere that this autumn is expected to be cooler than most in NYC. August, while still officially summer, blurs intoContinue reading “August”
Observations from the Underground
This quote made me smile. You know what I have been craving? Sort of stepping away from a lot of the noise of programs and courses and just doing handstands against the wall. I just want a 40-minute Pilates session and a candle lit. I am also craving autumn. Or maybe, I have depleted myContinue reading “Observations from the Underground”
Mid-Week Update From AC
“An educated mind cannot be enslaved.” Candace Owens By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s one hundred and a gazillion degrees out. My train has AC, which is nice because my other trains this week felt like they were blowing hot air on us. I quite literally melted into my seat yesterday. This was after my employer shutContinue reading “Mid-Week Update From AC”
Do Hard Things
“You have to have a day on the calendar that scares the sh*t out of you.” Joe De Sena I was enthralled by the conversation between Alex Ikonn and Joe De Sena. Listen to it here. Below, you will find a post from Alex Ikonn on the key take aways. I love De Sena’s schoolContinue reading “Do Hard Things”
Noise, Despacito
“You need to build a mausoleum in your head with big iron doors so that nobody can get in there except you. You don’t let me in there, you don’t let June in there, you don’t let your manager in there, you don’t let the record company people in there. You have to decide forContinue reading “Noise, Despacito”
One Does Not Hold Truth
By: Gabriela Yareliz In recent times, I have noticed an interesting push for the Catholic Church that wasn’t as evident before. I think it’s important to spot these things and observe them. They are cultural moments of significance. It draws the question— where did this flow from? This post is not so much a criticismContinue reading “One Does Not Hold Truth”
Brush with Evil
By: Gabriela Yareliz The world is small. Sometimes, it’s interesting to think of time overlaps. This is bound to happen in the randomness of life and also, in its mysterious synergies. These are moments where you and another person are in the same place but you don’t know each other then. For example, the momentsContinue reading “Brush with Evil”
Love Received
By: Gabriela Yareliz When a loved one has passed, we still think of them every day. We love them. We miss them. There would be no point in missing someone we won’t see again, but it’s like we know. We know this is not the end. I wonder what happens to all the love accumulatedContinue reading “Love Received”
The Real Scandal
I don’t remember how I ran into this clip because I don’t follow this host, but it is on point. I am still mind-blown that this administration, who declared itself to be the face of accountability, truth, restoration of trust in institutions and transparency is now praying we will all just forget about this. GhislaineContinue reading “The Real Scandal”
