Keep words for every day things you love in 2025!
Everyday, I am surrounded by ideas beautiful, one of which is you, words to keep, firing up my life as nothing else could. Of course there are things to do, places to go, children to raise, and people to love, but still the thought of keeping words, one at a time, is like the red…

Keep the sounds of love for 2024!
This evening as we gathered together, I listened to sounds of those that hold us close. One was crying, my first son. He had just used his dad’s clippers to scrap hair off his head. His little brothers and older sister talked about getting him a toupe to cover his head as his dad tried…

Keep your name and the peace it brings!
And the dreams of my father, those nurtured in a place where sands are red, spoke to me again, from the depths of our soul, through storms raging, through torrents pouring, saying even anger will never reach your soul, even if hot pebbles fall on your bare skin, even if the heavens force the skies…

Keep these moments!
If I were to love what I love, like wild geese who know life is not about being good, then I would begin by telling stories of times I suffered, times I cried, times I laughed, yet still times, I prayed, meanwhile, the ocean continues to flow in its own way, its waters move back…

Keep knowing you belong here!
You belong here, as do the ocean, your children, your husband, your hopes, your hurdles, your dreams, your desires, the legs that walk this earth, the eyes that see these trees, you belong here, next to things that challenge you, next to moments we face our fears, next to one particular harbor, next to a…

Keep the bright sides of 2024!
My son on the spectrum was kicked out of school when he was two. And so began a journey into an existence I never knew existed. He is 10 years old now and yesterday he was one of the three wise men in his school’s Christmas play. Shortly after he was kicked out of school,…

Keep these beginnings!
These days I remember the way we begin. I also remember the way we die. When you have seen a life, seen it dissolve to the earth, then memories are like the air we breathe. Angie was her name. I say it in memory of her spirit, her voice, her love, her life. We are…
