“Stop waiting to become the person who has the life you want. Start showing up and taking action like them today.” Kendall Toole By: Gabriela Yareliz The world focuses on manifestation— this concept of wanting (and a lot of it has to do with external things, not so much character).

Exposure Transforms
By: Gabriela Yareliz I was in a freezing cold restaurant at a lunch with some acquaintances. The place was like ice and my water was, too. One woman discussed how she loved being able to regularly take her small children to the NYC museums. “Exposure is so important.” Everyone started chiming in with their childhoodContinue reading “Exposure Transforms”
What Matters
“Actions are your values made real.” Mark Manson By: Gabriela Yareliz What matters to you deeply? The key is to look at your actions. Your actions and your time always reveal the truth.

The Values that Stand the Test of Time
By: Gabriela Yareliz I keep thinking about how much values matter. When children are tiny, parents do their best to try to instill manners and certain values in their children. Every family reflects a values system, whether it realizes it or not. Some are unbiblical values that are learned, such as: “Lying and cheating aren’tContinue reading “The Values that Stand the Test of Time”
Studio Update 8
By: Gabriela Yareliz Do I choose eggs or life? I started off the morning debating whether it was worth risking my livelihood to get eggs at a NYC grocery store. It’s not. You see, I am a vegetarian, and I avoid dairy, but I do eat eggs on occasion. Not often. But sometimes. There areContinue reading “Studio Update 8”
