Day Off—Christmas Eve

December 24, 2020December 24, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate. Work gave me off but our family is Jewish so I don't have to cook a big feast today. Instead, I am using my time off to relax. Although I do appreciate all the Christmas lights and festivities abounding around me. Every year they are beautiful and heartwarming, as … Continue reading Day Off—Christmas Eve

Pandemic and Productivity

June 11, 2020June 15, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ 1 Comment

When this pandemic got real and heavy social distancing measures were put in place, I was having flashbacks of how life was after my father suddenly passed away. I felt like the world stopped (in this case, it literally did) and I wanted to take a moment to just reprioritize and rethink what life was … Continue reading Pandemic and Productivity

When Career Meets Mommyhood

February 13, 2020February 13, 2020 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Recently a younger friend of mine said she wants to figure her career out before she has kids. I was the same way. But something happened when I became a mom—a part of me that was always there blossomed. My creative side, my playful side. They made me better at being a mom, so instead … Continue reading When Career Meets Mommyhood

Wisdom Grows with Age, the Ageless Soul

December 3, 2019December 2, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I took a moment during my busy day working at the preschool and thought about how much I have grown. Gave myself credit for the work I have done in being more self-compassionate and less full of self-doubt and judgment. I still have a long way to go, but I have improved over the years. … Continue reading Wisdom Grows with Age, the Ageless Soul

Life as a Single Young Professional

March 20, 2019March 13, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

What is the time in our lives as single professionals? Just a waiting period before marriage? A purgatory which some may never leave? And if/when one does marry and build a family, what to make of all those years? Self-discovery, at times, self-destruction. Soul-searching, soul-crushing. Was it just a dream? (Or a nightmare?) Did it … Continue reading Life as a Single Young Professional

It was about finding the balance between love and limits and how to better prepare our children to deal with frustration and struggle in school and in life. Also, on how to motivate kids to find and cultivate their unique strengths. … Continue reading Personal Growth after Becoming a Parent

After grad school, I was blessed to find a job that did just that, and worked there for 6 years! Now, … Continue reading My Journey to Becoming an Early Childhood Educator

Why Money Isn’t Everything

January 27, 2019 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

My co-worker once commented that I could be making the same amount of money working as a part-time nutritionist for fewer hours than I work as an early childhood educator. When I decided to pursue a career in nutrition when I was in college it wasn't for the money, and now, when I am working … Continue reading Why Money Isn’t Everything
