      diana I couldn’t get to your blog – because a screen said “access denied”?

    Posting the night before seems to work much better for me. It’s nice to wake up and know my blog post is done! I’m on Pacific Time so it’s not hard to do.

      Not sure if my comment went through. I said:

      I also enjoyed seeing how you bring together storytelling, mindfulness, and piano education; it makes learning feel like an adventure rather than a task.

      Here’s my comment:

      Thanks for sharing such a practical guide. I especially appreciate the reminder to focus on the ingredient list rather than the marketing claims on the front of the package. I have to say, I really dislike the often misleading “serving sizes”; they can make products appear much healthier than they actually are when we eat a realistic portion. A quick label check is such a simple habit that can make a big difference.

      This was such a good post. I love that you share more than a couple photos.
      Since you talk about travel mostly, can I make a suggestion? At the end of your posts, maybe add the name and address of the site with a link to the website so if someone comes across this and wants to go, they can simply click 🙂

      • Barbara on July 17, 2026 at 4:05 pm

        Thank you for the suggestion. It’s a good idea.

      Lily, alas, I couldn’t get commenting to work from my iPhone, which is where I’m working from at the moment. You were brave to do all that work in the heat! There is a cooling neck scarf that could help you. Looks like a diagonal-folded bandana, but it has cooling crystals in the center. You soak it and the cooling crystals go to work. You can also soak it and freeze it for more effect. Hang in there!
