Super Bowl Hangover: Lessons from Tom Brady

February 8, 2021 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Last week I was on the fence about rooting for Tom Brady or not. After all, give someone else a chance, right? Then I had a conversation with a beloved relative of mine that made me shift mindsets. She said that growing up, Brady wasn't the best; that it was hard work, diligence, and perseverance … Continue reading Super Bowl Hangover: Lessons from Tom Brady

My Grandma Passed Away

May 7, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ 2 Comments

Today an era ended—Grandma Edie passed away. She was my step grandmother, but having married my grandfather in the 1970s, she was my grandma my whole life.

Lessons of Myopia

September 10, 2019September 2, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Often when I do yoga while the kiddoes are napping in the preschool room, I have the following thought: G-d gave me nearsighted vision to remind me NOT to care if others are watching.

TBT: Mansions and Inner Expansions

March 28, 2019March 24, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I recently visited my in-laws. One of my favorite parts of the visit was going jogging in the pretty neighborhood nearby. While going on one of my jogs, I came upon some beautiful, big houses. In the past when I have passed by mansions, I have felt awe. Awe at how talented and skillful the … Continue reading TBT: Mansions and Inner Expansions
