It was a private class or I would share a link. We're so fortunate to have easy access to such helpful people.

Hi there! A few months ago, I organized an online Q&A with Dr. G. She really is wonderful and gave us tons of helpful tips! I also like Noa Kageyama's Bulletproof Musician podcast. As I make progress in therapy turning my thoughts away from judgment, I think it will get better. Thanks for replying!

Here Clementine lays on her side in front of the space heater, using the edge of my meditation cushion as a pillow.

Clementine. She has been blocking the heater with her entire body, but today I waited until she was warm enough to sprawl out and share the heater while I meditate. #pugs

A pug princess lounging on a mound of clean sheets.

Daily Clementine. Wherein a mound of clean sheets becomes a bed for a fine lady. The pug version of "If it fits, I sits." If it mounds, I sits down.

It was an incredible experience. I've seen Hans Zimmer in concert and the film in iMax was almost as exciting. My atoms are still vibrating.

We're headed for the 10th anniversary rerelease of Interstellar in iMAX tomorrow. As a Hans Zimmer fan, I'm very excited.

The transformative power of classical music | Benjamin Zander | TED YouTube video by TED

I understand that it's out of fashion to share TED talks any more, but this one's special. As someone in the comments quips, "This guy could excite me about an empty bucket." What's he excited about? Classical music. 1000% wish this guy had been my music teacher. #piano

The smiles. The delight. ❤️

This is baby Clementine, a fawn pug with a perfect black wrinkly-face sitting in a pet stroller wearing a Wonder Woman Halloween costume.

Daily Clementine. This was 11 years ago, Wonder Puggy's first Halloween. Whenever I look at her face, my whole being goes gooey.

Living with Social Anxiety || Mayim Bialik YouTube video by Dr. Mayim Bialik

I have an unhelpful belief that says social anxiety disorder makes me a massive burden and I should crawl under a rock and die. I love Mayim Bialik's empathy & her philosophy on having this condition.

Having a sense of humor about it, instead of feeling shame and trying to hide, feels healing.

Edit: whenever, not wherever.

Clementine sleeps on the couch, with her smooshy face more smooshy than usual. Her blep is tiny but mighty.

Daily Clementine. Sleepiness seems to have melted this puggy into the couch with enough gravity to create this blep. Please rate.

Chopin's Barcarolle, performed by the incomparable Krystian Zimerman, like gliding into heaven in a gondola.

A photo of Clementine the perfect pug looking at me with an interested and slightly demanding expression.

Daily Clementine. This is the face of walkies.

Evgeny Kissin: Mussorgski - Pictures at an Exhibition YouTube video by Allegro Films

Modest Mussorgski Pictures at an Exhibition performed by Evgeny Kissin. No one plays it like Kissin. Majestic. #piano

I can't do this with a spoon. Scares me too much. I have to hold the can by both ends and strike the tube middle against the edge of the counter. The force of the strike hides the force of the popsplosion.

Ständchen (Serenade) | SCHUBERT | Luke Faulkner YouTube video by Luke Faulkner

Daily dream piano. This is Schubert's Ständchen arranged for solo piano and performed by Luke Faulkner.

Clementine the fawn pug making a funny face after a big yawn. Looks like she smelled something stinky.

Daily Clementine. I was trying to capture a BIG YAWN, but snapped too late, so it looks like stinky face.

The biggest wow in meeting you and seeing your profile is that I've often thought about volunteering for hospice. How did you decide to become a death doula? May I ask what the training was like? Am home now, but gathering myself to re-engage after a long bit of sloth is a process.

Alice Sara Ott - Field: Nocturne No. 9 in E Minor, H. 46 (Official Music Video) YouTube video by Deutsche Grammophon - DG

I've been on vacation, returning tomorrow. It always goes by so quickly.

Thank you! My husband took me to Disney World and we're having a great time!

I'm so glad you reached out to connect, hooray! We're still on vacation, returning to regular life December 8! I'm so glad we met, and I look forward to getting to know you!

Clementine the fawn pug snuggling on a blankie with her personal space heater. Her eyes are closed and she has a blissful expression on her super cute, wrinkly face.

Daily Clementine. You know "winter is coming" when the pug cuffs herself to her beloved space heater. So, this is love, mmMmmM.

Traveling. In-flight movie I chose: the music documy Maestra. As predicted, I was emotionally overcome immediately upon seeing Marin Alsop, who conducted the 2022 Cliburn Competition (winner: Yunchhan Lim). #piano
