Keep the love for boys little!
It’s another day, and we are among those lucky people who get to see this day and it’s rain and the birds that lurk around grasses, on their feet, like the a red cardinal bird that hurries from one grass to another, from one branch to another, such is the life of a mother, this…

Keep these meltdowns!
When I look back to that day, look back to the first day, the bright side day, always, I see the day isn’t waiting. It is long gone. Nothing about the first day remains. Except it’s music or sound. Not its rain or storm. Except the gratitude that follows. Such is the story of meltdowns that…

Keep knowing your scars!
And what will you do today. My soul wondered out loud ever since we signed up to speak. And how will you celebrate the connections? Art and headwraps, you, motherhood, health and life.

Keep knowing their defeat is eminent.
When your existence is an accomplished fact, and your way of seeing things is the norm, then even if terminated, you are powerful and should still go forth staking your rightful claim as leaders of tomorrow even if today seems bleak. No need being a shadow of who you are. No falling into their trap of…

Keep faith!
If faith is a door, if it swings open, wide, or not, or just a little opening, then at least light will pass through. And where there is light, there is no darkness, not even a speck. So even in these times, may your faith still be like a door. I spent the weekend surrounded…
