By: Gabriela Yareliz My bag has the goods— and by goods, I mean bagels from Bagel Pub. Bless. It’s Friday, and it’s time to clean and pack for a trip down South. I am going to dig through and find dressy pants that I can wear with flats and not worry about on my period.Continue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.26.26”

The Secret Garden
“I am sure there is Magic in everything, only we have not sense enough to get hold of it and make it do things for us.” Frances Hodgson Burnett By: Gabriela Yareliz When I was a teen, we regularly visited an office that offered certain services. The services were not for me, and I wouldContinue reading “The Secret Garden”
Make Meaning
By: Gabriela Yareliz How do we measure life? I was reflecting on this when Ranier Wylde’s words came to me. Wylde discusses Sisyphus. His piece is great, and it reminded me of how much Stoicism has impacted how I think of things in the world. When faced with a dilemma, I do often stop andContinue reading “Make Meaning”
Saoko
By: Gabriela Yareliz NYC has felt the influx of people for the World Cup. I have seen large clusters of Brazilians, Algerians, French, and Colombian visitors. I have been listening to Saoko on repeat. It’s all about change and transformation, after all. Some of the moments collected in the week (culturally and personally): The TkachuksContinue reading “Saoko”
A Notch
By: Gabriela Yareliz I am quoting Gab Waller quoting someone else— she saw: ‘Due to personal reasons, it’s time to turn things up a fuckin notch’. If you reflect on your life right now and see all the layers to your current situation— what needs to be taken up a notch? Tomorrow, we dive headContinue reading “A Notch”
This Week’s Favorites 06.19.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz The week is coming to an end. Nothing like a Friday. I continued my The Core 21-day challenge, and I am getting ready to go on a solid morning walk before the sun starts roasting us. I am excited to start Sarah Dessen’s new book! Spent some time starting to deep cleanContinue reading “This Week’s Favorites 06.19.26”
This Week’s Favs 06.13.26
By: Gabriela Yareliz It was a busy week. I walked a lot more than usual, which felt nice. I have been doing The Core’s 21-Day Program. I am on day eight. I think lifting heavier weights has made me extra sleepy at night. Tired to the bone. It’s officially summer. There is no way theContinue reading “This Week’s Favs 06.13.26”
Play
By: Gabriela Yareliz “How often do you go on vacation?” the sales associate asked us dutifully. When we told him this was the only one in recent history, I saw a mix of shock and slight pity flash across his face. It triggered a small wave of shame that I decided to shake off quickly.Continue reading “Play”
Game Four
This is a shallow report… brace yourself. By: Gabriela Yareliz Listen, we can talk about how Carolina brought game. They beat the VGK with the Staal goal and the wild Ehlers empty-netter from the other side’s boards. Rod Brind’Amour was wide-eyed, and Dominique Ducharme for VGK, with the white hair and beard, had crazy eyesContinue reading “Game Four”
Game Three
“No lead is safe.” By: Gabriela Yareliz ‘Chaos’ was the main word used to describe game three. There was a bizarre ‘Welcome to Vegas’ Cirque du Soleil situation at the beginning, a moving National Anthem, and the game began. It was a total snooze fest until the last half of the second period, where theContinue reading “Game Three”
