Keep planting dreams!
To be drenched in a stream of flowing smiles, to see the smiles, your own and those of others, and smile letting this life and all it brings flow like ripples at the edge of two rivers, to know that smiles can be used for clarity, for conversations that feel like growth, for connections that…

Keep your dreams!
My dreams are long and continuous. They cannot be separated from my every day life. Some days are ragged. Take the last three weeks of questions around funding global health. Other days are coarse. Take too the lack of stance on supporting global health. Still I know it will take everything to silence voices external,…

Keep a Pope that personifies Global Health or this call to serve!
Today everyone watched, stared, and maybe even smiled as we celebrated the sight of white smoke billowing from skies. The graceful angles and the answered prayers that followed ushered Pope Leo squarely into the spotlight. Who is he? Why him? And how might we know when his ways are our ways? Only time will tell…

Keep knowing that global health is for all of us!
I write about global health. Write often about what makes it worthwhile. The people of course, the learning we do, the adaptations along the way and of course why we still nurture what matters for the field. Every where I go I tell people that I am a global health researcher passionate about sustaining evidence…

Keep this ease!
The silence you feel, if in a quiet lovely space, if surrounded but love, if with a steady ease that makes leaves wild is a poem. Taste and see how it begins, how it feels.

Keep all your scars with ending cervical cancer!
I want to thank Angie for the vigor of her life. Everyday she lived, every moment she walked through the rims of this earth, even how she endured the end and continues to live, is the reason why I hold on to dreams, why I take ending cervical cancer so seriously. For many who came…

Keep serving!
The power hidden in serving, how it may make you look small, like a speck, as if feeble, like a candle, all of this, plus, limited time, like a river flowing away, are the reasons to serve. Plus even if you don’t see the river, even if it’s directions, whether up or down, left or…

Keep these STARS who know there are no rules!
These days we see all rules can be broken. Institutions broken. Though we wondered how they would apply the rules, we watched as they applied the rules. Our STARS came brilliant, bright, knowing these are different times, uncertain ones, but their time. We left fully bright, in awe of their brilliance. These may be uncertain…

Keep everything!
If for your daily life, you live, moment by moment, I hope in the end, you keep the little things, the sight of blue jays, the love for new days, endless tears, falling rain.

Keep lighting a path for the public’s health!
If and when the public takes their rightful place with health, if and when they do, and they are freed from all the bondage exclusively cultivated by those that purport to study them, love them maybe, I hope they are not ignored as those midnight that burn, otherwise what would be the purpose? A voice…

Keep striving for the stars!
If you ever find yourself in a place where everyone strives for the stars, I hope you do the same.

Keep the cycle of grant writers!
I’m always in a circle. Always beginning just when I thought I was finished. The function, the very true function of an artist is to dance to a different beat. So goes a grant writer. We write grants because we are always drumming a new tune differently. Grants invariable rebel against what is norm. If…
