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”

Perfect
“Perfectionism is self-abuse of the highest order.” Dr. Anne Wilson Schaef By: Gabriela Yareliz Consideration for others is important. Doing your best— also so important. Keys to a life well-lived. You know what sucks and needs to be disposed of? Perfectionism. At times, it’s engrained in us as children from external sources. Sometimes, it’s personalityContinue reading “Perfect”
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”
Remembering
By: Gabriela Yareliz I always cry on Memorial Day. The closing ceremony of the parade always gets me. Usually, it’s when I hear names read off of people we refuse to forget, or when they tell the stories of heroism we shouldn’t lose sight of. I cry when I see the gold star moms holdContinue reading “Remembering”

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”

Summer fridays just around the corner, even though we had hail yesterday. I have this itch to clean. To work out. To plan. To be tan. ThisContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 05.21.26”
A Rare Breed
There are people who say what they mean. It’s rare, but they exist. It’s funny because when you meet one, you just know. It’s a frequency thing that syncs with your soul. When you find such a person, keep them close.
Sunrise Teacher
Sometimes, our greatest teachers are places. By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading Cleo Wade’s newsletter about her new book launch, In a World of Sunrises, and she said: “New Orleans has been my greatest teacher in resilience. The wisdom of this city flows through many pages of this book.” It made me think of Florida.Continue reading “Sunrise Teacher”
This Week’s Favs 05.13.26
I write to you from one of the most zen places on earth— North Central Florida. It’s so still, all I hear now is the hum of the refrigerator, crickets outside and a slow drip coming from somewhere. I’ll write more about the hometown later— but for now, just know that I have been baptizedContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 05.13.26”
Everything
“Our job is not to get better at predicting, projecting, or becoming attached to uncertain possibilities, but having sincere faith that what we know needs to happen next is the key that eventually unlocks everything we’ve been waiting for, everything we’ve ever wanted to be.” Brianna Wiest
