River Water

By: Gabriela Yareliz Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar says that we should see ourselves like a river. We shouldn’t overwhelm ourselves with shame over what has happened when we were ignorant, but accept that if we reflect and learn, we are like moving water. We become new. The person we are today is different fromContinue reading “River Water”

I saw parents dropping off their kids to some of their last 9 am taekwondo classes before classes start up here. (Classes start so late here—) You could feel the end of summer hanging in the cool 68F air after yesterday’s rainstorm, flooding and apparently, Long Island tornado. Back to school reminds me of theContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.21.26”

The Pole Battle

By: Gabriela Yareliz Some days on the train, we fight for our lives. Other days, we fight for our pride. There was a man who was leaning his whole body against a pole I needed to hold onto. Butt, torso, shoulders and head. I have never seen a body contort more to make so muchContinue reading “The Pole Battle”

By: Gabriela Yareliz What a week. Scott Lobaido flatlined and got brought back to life. He is still being iconic from his hospital bed. The humidity reached new levels. The NY Post called it “Caribbean” levels of humidity. Whatever it is— we feel it. I sweat so much this week. Yesterday, my jeans left myContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.07.26”

Those are the things that ultimately lead to healthier relationships, a happier life, and a lighter relationship with yourself. But because they’re uncomfortable, people keep skippingContinue reading “No Skipping”

We meet again for the favorites! Time just flies. I have added miles of walking to my days. It has come with a combined burst of energy and also deep exhaustion toward the end of the day. Building resistance. Work can be such a little trap that keeps us still for hours. Resist. The summerContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.23.26”

Hellloooo my summer chickadees, What a week it has been. Here in NYC, we endured the heat wave, legionnaires in the water supply (bless you, UES), The Odyssey premiere (bless you, traffic of the UWS), Canadian wildfire smoke (is the fire punishment for the Canadians killing all those Emus? Kidding— but also not), and lifeContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.18.26”

Parrots Everywhere

By: Gabriela Yareliz I know someone who has zero engagement with life. They just take what you say or information you drop and parrot it to the next person to appear competent. These types of people were definitely the kids who cheated off of other kids in school. This person kept name dropping books. TheyContinue reading “Parrots Everywhere”
