Reminder

By: Gabriela Yareliz My old executive coach wrote to me the other day to check in. It was sweet. When she texted, I was feeling annoying, exhausted and in some weird raging PMS state. Something about that woman inspires me to set boundaries. Her sweet text jolted me (positively). When she texted to say hi,Continue reading “Reminder”

Analog

By: Gabriela Yareliz I read a piece on Substack about having an “analog fall.” To live life like a 90s sitcom adult. Imagine that. I smiled and thought back at this past weekend where we took photos of some neat antique cars with disposable film cameras. I had been organically inching toward analog before IContinue reading “Analog”

To the Unseen Words

By: Gabriela Yareliz This one goes out to all the morning pages, journal pages and brain dumps where we process all of the words that jam into our brain channels. Where we let it all out and then, feel free. The great unclogging. I ended last week with a ton of pent up energy andContinue reading “To the Unseen Words”

Harvest Moon Anticipation

“A guilty pleasure of mine is Waspy country club culture. It’s so camp. Adults wearing matching white outfits, playing sports, eating chicken salad and drinking vodka at noon? Incredible.” The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook By: Gabriela Yareliz Last night, we went to the napkin ring part of the neighborhood. The large houses that spend an entireContinue reading “Harvest Moon Anticipation”

Craft Heaven

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”

Some Steve for this Friday

Few people are as inspiring as Steve Harvey. No matter where you are in life— there is something for you in this montage of Steve Harvey talks. He is relentless, and he shares his light.

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”

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”
