Inner Piece: Decluttering a Soul has received a minor makeover. If you go to the book’s page, you will notice the cover format was updated. It’s the same book! Just a little tweaked on the outside. This book includes topics such as mindfulness, work-life balance, and self-care. It has a similar vibe to my blog … Continue reading New Look, Same Great Book

A Day with Dad

March 1, 2023February 27, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

I moved to Atlanta six years ago for warmer weather and better work-life balance. Cousins of my dad live in a lovely community down here. When I visited, they shared cherished memories of my father, as well as my grandfather, and it was all so comforting. Moving to Atlanta was moving to be closer to … Continue reading A Day with Dad

Spring in Atlanta: Love Is in the Air

February 23, 2023February 22, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

It’s been six years since the decision to move to Atlanta. We came here for warmer weather and greater affordability. I had cousins in the area who graciously introduced us to the vibrant Jewish community. The synagogue reminded me of the one in my hometown, of which I had fond memories. The following Sunday we … Continue reading Spring in Atlanta: Love Is in the Air

Spending Time in Nature Didn’t Always Come Naturally

February 22, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

You look at me now and you’d probably be shocked to hear that I didn’t like sitting on the ground when I was in high school. My friends would be eating lunch outside at times, and I had this aversion to sitting in the dirt. Later, in college, Brandeis University had this gorgeous outdoor area … Continue reading Spending Time in Nature Didn’t Always Come Naturally

girl with a tripod

February 17, 2023February 16, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

When I dropped my daughter off at school, the teacher complimented me on my make up and asked if I was going on a date or going to work. I smiled and thanked her. On the one hand, it was neither. On the other hand it was both. Part of my work is documenting the … Continue reading girl with a tripod

The Sun’s Warm Embrace

February 15, 2023February 14, 2023 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

What a glorious day we had in Atlanta this Valentine’s Day. The warm sunshine can be very nourishing. It leads to our body producing vitamin D, which in turn increases serotonin levels, leading us to feel better overall. Whenever I’m outside on a warm, sunny day, I feel embraced by the sun, and supported by … Continue reading The Sun’s Warm Embrace

I’m with You

December 26, 2022December 26, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ 2 Comments

I paired the beginning lyrics of Avril Lavigne’s song, “I’m with You” to photos of today’s nature walk. Nature is grounding and an ever-present support. I hope you enjoy… “I’m standin’ on the bridge I'm waitin' in the darkI thought that you'd be here by nowThere's nothing but the rain No footsteps on the ground … Continue reading I’m with You

Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)

December 19, 2022December 19, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Built something for my home last week while sitting on a picnic blanket outside on my sunny lawn on a warmer-than-usual autumn day. It was delightful. Sunlight is so lovely. A great mood booster. In the olden days, people were outside so much more. And while I’m not saying I want to be washing my … Continue reading Less of a Chore, When Done Outdoor(s)

Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike

December 11, 2022December 11, 2022 ~ Gila Daman ~ Leave a comment

Went for a hike last week. It was great. Except that my car had a sudden issue that I had to solve. I went in for some calm in nature, and arrived to a situation in which my car needed to be serviced. I didn’t get the relaxation I intended, but I got much more: … Continue reading Lessons From A Not-So-Average Hike
