I Run on Adrenaline and Passion

May 13, 2020May 31, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

This morning when I was at the dentist (not to be taken for granted—they reopened for check-ups just this week!) the dental hygienist asked if I drink coffee or tea.

March 30, 2020March 30, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ 2 Comments

I remember the morning of Thanksgiving in 2001, I was a junior in high school, visiting a friend in NYC (one of my first times walking the streets of Manhattan!). Whenever we passed anyone, I would greet them with "Happy Thanksgiving." I felt excited to be able to greet people for a universal holiday that … Continue reading We Are All in This Together
