Spring Transition Outfits

By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring reset. I love a good spring reset. Mine has consisted of better sleep, taking out caffeine and continued and progressive strength training. It will be a matchaless spring. Dr. Stolberg’s tea has been my go-to along with gynostemma (they call it the poor man’s ginseng). In this new warmth, some interestingContinue reading “Spring Transition Outfits”

Welcome, March!

By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy March! We enter the month that invites an unstable spring into our lives. It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -Charles Dickens It’s the season of spring break andContinue reading “Welcome, March!”

Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26

By: Gabriela Yareliz The snow piles remain. Winter has us all about to fling ourselves on the snow piles in resignation. “Just leave me here,” we want to say. But “onward,” as someone who does nothing at work typically says to those doing the heavy lifting. Onward, indeed. Today, I heard a clown horn (youContinue reading “Thoughts and Favs from this Week 2.27.26”

Keeping the Garden

By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring arrives on March 20. I love spring. It always arrives right on time— when winter has beat us up and left us in a heaping pile like the inches of snow dropped on us. Friday was exhausting. It was exacerbated by the anxiety that loomed over me when I realized IContinue reading “Keeping the Garden”

Spring Dreams

By: Gabriela Yareliz Yesterday was our first day over 39F in weeks. The sun was shining, and I kept feeling like there was an important thought I had forgotten. I was racking my brain like a child shaking the last coin out of a piggy bank, all in efforts to remember the forgotten piece. WhileContinue reading “Spring Dreams”

March 2025 Favorites

By: Gabriela Yareliz March was an action-packed month that was done in a blink. Below are some of the things that captured my attention: The book The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom was the book I was deep into. I will finish it now in April. It is a very substance-no-fluff book, justContinue reading “March 2025 Favorites”

The Beauty of Enough

“Never let the quest for more distract you from the beauty of enough.” Sahil Bloom By: Gabriela Yareliz Spring invites us into simplicity. I am only 1/4 into my spring cleaning. The season’s freshness invites us to cleanse out, to simplify, to go back to the basics. A mini candle, a white t-shirt, a freshContinue reading “The Beauty of Enough”

Green With Life

“The city waits and aches. The little grasses Crack through stone, and they are green with life.” Sylvia Plath, from my readings of Winter Trees Spring is coming. You can just feel it in your bones. I feel the desire to clean, organize and prepare for a time of renewed energy and life! The coldContinue reading “Green With Life”

March 2023 Favorites

Another month in the books. I have had better days and months. March, you were as good to me as you were to Julius Caesar. #dramatic The general feeling for March was overwhelm and obstacle. There were tears. On my busiest morning (oral arguement+trial on two separate cases), my train gave out underground, and IContinue reading “March 2023 Favorites”

Our Internal Narrative

By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s a dark and rainy spring morning as I write this. It is so cool outside, which is refreshing after having woken up with allergies and swollen eyelids. (My allergies are killing me lately). I have my basil Beauty Pie candle going, and my pretty bunch of chamomile flowers on my entryContinue reading “Our Internal Narrative”
