Immediate Gratification and the Meaning of Life

November 28, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Some things move fast in life—like my car, or the internet. The internet also exposes me to other people’s lives and makes me wonder to the tune of the John Mayer song, “Am I living it right?” For example, I’d love to be a well-known author some day. Years ago, most people’s works became more … Continue reading Immediate Gratification and the Meaning of Life

Happy 36th to Me—Authenticity Breeds Felicity

September 25, 2021September 24, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I know my life experiences inform my writing. The sudden passing of my father in 2006, my cousin's tragic death 6 years prior. But I think there is something else to it as well. My whole life I have been authentic. I never succumbed to peer pressure in high school. For most of college, I … Continue reading Happy 36th to Me—Authenticity Breeds Felicity

Charlotte Bronte Died of Morning Sickness

February 25, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I wasn't a big fan of English class in high school. I wasn't really into the novels. Didn't really understand them, but I read them for school because I wanted good grades and I was a goody two shoes. My mom had me read Jane Eyre by Charlotte Bronte one summer. This, I did like. … Continue reading Charlotte Bronte Died of Morning Sickness

A Few Words Provide Big Encouragement

In my book The Roadmap Ends Here: Entering Adulthood, I have an essay entitled, "Adulthood: Where's the Confetti?" where I discuss my challenge with not receiving positive feedback and adulation like I did when I was a student. I continue to struggle with this, yearning for praise and positive feedback for what I do in … Continue reading A Few Words Provide Big Encouragement

Evolution of My Blog

March 13, 2019March 10, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

My first blog was notsowideawake.com. (Well, if you don't count the blog I did for a brief period several years before that...) Then theroadmapendshere.com, reflecting the title of my first book—which was actually a compilation of the blog posts from notsowideawake.com. Then I created firstcomesselflove.com, reflecting the title and topic of my second book. At … Continue reading Evolution of My Blog

Run, Pray, Blog

February 11, 2019February 3, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

"Consistent practices yield creative episodes that wouldn't have otherwise occurred had one not been doing them consistently." This was an idea I thought of when I was 19. I wrote it down following a jog I had taken that evening. I realized that while not every jog would be invigorating and amazing, by jogging regularly … Continue reading Run, Pray, Blog
