A happy August to you! Those of us who aren’t summer people are hanging by a thread, elevating prayers in hopes that we can survive the next two months and arrive to a cooler October. The countdown is real. They do this thing in my neighborhood called Summer Stroll, and it’s always cool to walkContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 08.01.26”

This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz I eventually made it home from Nashville. I took a flight from hell with little-to-no AC again (JetBlue), trapped in a seat with parents who had zero control over their children. (And these were not babies— we understand babies). The mom kept shrieking next to me, “MOMMY IS DOING HER BESTTTTT!” IContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 07.11.26”
Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS
By: Gabriela Yareliz I saw this and smiled when I saw Pluto and its mixed status. Spoiler alert— now, while Mars is the most popular, Pluto remains on the list. As children, we were intrigued by it. Then, they told us it wasn’t a planet. We didn’t care. We are the generation that kept Pluto.Continue reading “Today’s Dose of Nostalgia: Pluto and VHS”
Taxes, Timing and Other Details
“[N]othing can be said to be certain, except death and taxes” Benjamin Franklin, 1789 Letter By: Gabriela Yareliz Tax season is upon us. Why does it always feel like it just sneaks up on us? Seriously. ‘Tis the season to remember that the government takes more than half of what you earn. What’s new— other thanContinue reading “Taxes, Timing and Other Details”
I’m Learning to Breathe
By: Gabriela Yareliz We’ve all had moments of anxiety, panic and/or pain. Sometimes, it can feel like walls are closing in on us. Or maybe, it feels like a knife is stabbing us in the pelvis. At times, we can leave a present circumstance and reset (best case scenario). There have been times where IContinue reading “I’m Learning to Breathe”
Simple Habits
“And it’s funny how often we have to course correct and bring ourselves back to these simple habits. Because life changes, routines shift, and suddenly the things that once grounded you fall out of rhythm.” Kenzie Burke By: Gabriela Yareliz Every time I hear a podcast with a health expert, the interviewer often asks forContinue reading “Simple Habits”
This Week’s Favs 3.12.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz This week, we went from 60F to 39F. It’s literally raining/snowing outside. The weather is wild. My torso is less on fire thanks to a plantain oil tincture I made. This stuff works. March feels so busy, and I haven’t even gotten to the taxes part of the to-do list. My bodyContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 3.12.26”
Questions for February
“If no one told you what to like— what would you actually choose?” Theo Von reading an ad for Pepsi By: Gabriela Yareliz On many mornings, I listen to comedy during my commute. It helps keep the blood pressure low. The morning is always filled with weird things. Today, it was a train with bloodContinue reading “Questions for February”
Closing Out 2025
By: Gabriela Yareliz It’s cold and gray out here in NYC. Feels like 12F outside. It’s sick, but this is the price we pay for all seasons. Some slushy mountains of snow remain. The truth is, there are days when I can close my eyes and see the sunset at Cedar Key, salty air hittingContinue reading “Closing Out 2025”
Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25
By: Gabriela Yareliz Happy Thursday! Given the short week and packed trains (thanks to school restarting), we are all disoriented. I see tiny kids in new outfits and sweaters they will regret later in the warmer parts of the day. There is a woman with a visor that extends at least a foot away fromContinue reading “Podcasts of the Week 9/4/25”
