Hailing from Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Tobias Keene brings a bit of unabashed Southern hospitality to all his patients. He moved to Washington, D.C. over thirty years ago as a freshman at Ivy College. Right after graduation, he attended World University’s School of Dentistry. Before opening Keene Dental in 1994, he worked for free clinics and some of the finest practices in the District. He is part of the 123 Dental Association and stays up-to-date on the latest dental discoveries. When not striving to keep his patients happy and healthy, he’s enjoys hiking with his family in Rock Creek Park. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1609988958647-PTT8E3I796V0H6N0ORNK/162.JPG amylocklin - Nelly was the second nonhuman animal to join Amy’s family Shockingly, Nelly also has heart disease, possibly for the same reasons as Dexter, but not as advanced. She is very vocal with Amy but invisibly silent with nearly everyone else. Amy often jokes that she’s attached to her hip when she’s alone, as Nelly was at this writing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1619625771951-TDO6HY23CPNHB2XS1JP4/IMG_0017.JPG amylocklin - Stella (for starship enterprise, as Amy called her) Tobias Keene, D.D.S.

Amy found him with her after he’d gotten away when she and her husband were trying to take him to animal control. Amy knew she shouldn’t add one more mouth to feed, plus vet bills and grooming, but he won everyone’s hearts too fast, except Stella’s. It took a full year for the two to bond and begin to pee in the same spot, as if to say, “We are part of the same pack.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1609991268196-SX7N9MGIRVH0VCG8Q8FE/IMG_3612.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/97822fe8-37e8-4951-beab-83293f7cd0e1/IMG_5858.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/2ec84f4d-60e0-4342-b3b2-f3b9f2ab27dc/0C8D90DF-BEFE-4CF0-A409-11D233B29DEA_1_105_c.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1609991240062-9ZSXM1SE23PLIZQQ7E81/IMG_3615.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/5e134b3e-7409-483b-8c76-d22a27f19060/IMG_5859.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/062c2e27-ed40-478a-ac9f-c990d01df1d0/EF90EF5C-A041-472B-96A8-AC1AD414F28B_1_105_c.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1609992095793-VDVRNM3NSVZC8WO3EZO5/IMG_1415.JPG amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/ed2f79dd-2261-4709-a4bb-8adfe8ae9751/15FB3B40-3F02-4D3F-8E72-DC087CC63D8A_1_105_c.jpeg amylocklin https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1609991292988-71DUIUX5QHGFNHPPH2SK/171.JPG amylocklin https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/home daily 1.0 2025-12-24 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/am-thinks daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1619529074973-GDNLLF1GXBLQAL2CMHF9/Asset%2B2.jpg am Thinks https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/about daily 0.75 2022-07-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1618964394995-NSOC8Q6D6GW3OBJW3J92/IMG_1504.jpg about - “Wet leaves staining a newly poured concrete patio should be unwelcome, but a friend told me this image fills her with longing.” “Wet leaves staining a newly poured concrete patio should be unwelcome, but a friend told me this image fills her with a sense of longing.” Amy Locklin, Founder and Editor-in-Chief https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/1635368027536-TWPPICMEP3UO4ORNDLP4/3DFABD09-02C2-4A73-A319-1723B1E2D261_1_105_c.jpeg about Amy Locklin has been a university educator and nonprofit administrator for decades in the Northeast, Midwest and Southeast United States. As a young undergrad and graduate student in theatre arts, she played the lead in a handful of projects: in a BFA thesis film, a TV, and a radio commercial. She also played Lucy in a full-stage production of The Rivals and the Narrator in her own script, I’d Just Die. In Indianapolis, she performed for seven years as a semi-professional jazz vocalist, and her middle voice technique has improved considerably with continued practice. Her in-progress science fiction detective mystery, The Case of the Organic Gone, takes place in a future when the environment and genetic engineering have gotten out of control. Her full poetry collection, A Woman Somehow Dead, is a memoir in verse, which includes the story of her German grandparents immigrating to the US after World War II. Everything in her previous experience led her to conceive of alchemicalmindset.org. https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/journal-writing-and-stress daily 0.75 2021-05-02 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/persona-documentary-review daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/learning-to-respect-female-boundaries-whether-someone-elses-or-your-own daily 0.75 2021-11-16 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/effective-inclusive-communication daily 0.75 2021-11-13 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/the-four-horse-riders-portending-interpersonal-doom daily 0.75 2021-11-16 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/language-matters-and-freedom-of-speech daily 0.75 2022-04-06 https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/large-data-planing-compound-productivity-and-creative-momentum daily 0.75 2022-08-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/d29f3c8f-a06d-4a57-9f6d-1c94f7ad0610/gallery+of+characters.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/d64cef47-4b25-4a0e-aac7-a96cc7c53f75/baby+squirrel+hide+and+seek.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/dd0081b4-ca1d-4682-bc81-6dd784fa48ee/baby+squirrel+watch+and+play.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/a5c0a97a-b0ef-4ef2-b34c-1bff7bc6bbc7/No+is+ALWAYS.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/c685aaed-d7a1-49d0-a665-55f9c0e2ac58/Oh+ALWAYS.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/9dc4b451-837e-4df4-93b5-239e42fb0a03/meanwhile+am+on+and+an.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/3f2cd92f-b2c2-4b0d-a23d-bced0f9a23d1/Other+parts+of+speech.jpeg Large Data Planing, Compound Productivity, and Creative Momentum https://www.alchemicalmindset.org/could-your-personality-derail-your-career daily 0.75 2022-08-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/bdcfac15-5fa5-4aa3-8125-cd0ed136402a/IMG_6623.jpeg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fd0d6677cd80568b754f72e/e2206ac7-3c63-4469-b3e6-c3cbb81ea832/IMG_6567.jpeg
