By: Gabriela Yareliz If you are rushing around or trying to kill fifteen birds with one stone— this PSA is for you. And you are not alone. I get infinitely frustrated when things unfold inefficiently. I love change. I love speed. I love maximizing. Call it a syndrome from childhood. Sometimes, we need to rememberContinue reading “What Abundance Tells Us”

The Idea of Balance
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep hearing about the idea of balance. Does it exist? Is it real? Most entrepreneurs say no. Most parents of young children say no. Some people who work 9-5 say yes. I guess balance (if it exists) rides the waves. I guess, though, if it comes in seasons that are sprinkledContinue reading “The Idea of Balance”
Wannabe
By: Gabriela Yareliz If you are a nineties girl, you remember singing the Spice Girl’s “Wannabe.” We would belt it out on the playground. (Not kidding). /I’ll tell you what I want, what I really, really wantSo tell me what you want, what you really, really want/ I think there is an epidemic in adultsContinue reading “Wannabe”
Seeing What Others Don’t
By: Gabriela Yareliz One of the most interesting books I have ever read is Seeing What Others Don’t by Gary Klein. It’s a heavy read, but I encourage anyone to pick it up. (I have a special disdain for those who are like, I’ll fill you in on what it says, as you wouldn’t beContinue reading “Seeing What Others Don’t”

Time was a finicky thing, this year. I am always fascinated by the passage of time. When it feels fast; when it feels slow. TheContinue reading “A Gift is Arriving”
Studio Update 6
By: Gabriela Yareliz I have been following the situation in Italy pretty closely. I watch little Italian news clips, and I watch some of my favorite quarantined Italian celebrities’ videos, thanks to Instagram stories and the live feature. Today, while I was listening to a video, I realized that I understood every word in Italian.Continue reading “Studio Update 6”

Reflections Before Bedtime #79
“It would be hung in attics, she thought; it would be destroyed. But what did that matter? she asked herself, taking up her brush again. She looked at the steps; they were empty; she looked at her canvas; it was blurred. With a sudden intensity, as if she saw it clear for a second, sheContinue reading “Reflections Before Bedtime #79”
