Soul Cure

By: Gabriela Yareliz There are weeks where we fall into old patterns of behavior, and we do not take proper care of ourselves. We all have them. This week, while sick no less, it was one of those weeks for me. I was doing my exercise routine but definitely overdid it at work. Falling backContinue reading “Soul Cure”

This Week’s Favorites 10.2.26

The first favorites of October. This morning, I walked a good 15 minutes to a coffee shop that serves turmeric lattes, only to arrive and see it was closed even though according to Google and the sign on the door, they should have been open already for an hour. That was the vibe this week.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 10.2.26”

The Right Instructions

“You mustn’t wish for another life. You mustn’t wish to be someone else. What you must do is this: rejoice evermore pray without ceasing in everything, give thanks. I am not all the way capable of so much, but those are the right instructions.” – Wendell Berry

The Writing Life

“One of the things I know about writing is this: spend it all, shoot it, play it, lose it, all, right away, every time.

FloridaContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 09.18.26”

Broadax

By: Gabriela Yareliz I was reading the piece on Annie Dillard’s life and recent death. It made me think a lot about writing. About life. How many hours does any of us have left? We spend so much time in unconscious living; engaging in habits and actions we do on autopilot. How much conscious lifeContinue reading “Broadax”

Last Week’s Favorites 09.13.26

Hello my fellow journey(wo)men, It’s a rainy morning here in NYC after some hot temperatures this week. The sun was roasting. The rest of us were yearning for fall. I am still wrapping up Nantucket Second Chances; you would have thought that with all of the brutal train delays this week I would have finishedContinue reading “Last Week’s Favorites 09.13.26”

Home State Behavior

By: Gabriela Yareliz Aziz Ansari grew up in South Carolina. I was discussing this, and how he talked about being different as a kid. Here in NYC, people have a habit of even categorizing their own ethnicity as those who are from here and those who are “fresh off the boat” so to speak. IContinue reading “Home State Behavior”
