Keep ideas like music, like Afrobeats!
I looked into the mirror today. Not the passive glance I often do, when rushing through morning routines, but a deep soulful stare that made me be still for a moment. Here we are, the start of the next phase of my career and all I want is everything. I have no idea why I…

Keep joy, like garden eggs!
I remember. I have been saying this word lately. As if all memories are fading fast. They seem to be, considering how time seems to run along these days fast. So I remember, once when I took a class in college. It was a sociology class and the focus was on slow food movement or…

Keep living life!
Throw away all you think about life. Throw it all. Then just live. Life is too short. I am realizing it more so these days. Tomorrow isn’t a guarantee. Tell all those you love why you love them everyday and make them sick and sick of your love. I am in the mood of infecting…

Keep knowing the silence of beads!
I have been waiting to tell the stories for beads for too long. Something about their origin, their glimmer, their silence. Earlier in the summer, I started to write something and of course I got carried away. Not before I saw a paper that made me pause. It noted how beads were silent witnesses to…

Keep an oasis of light for a mother’s love still!
I see life as a journey. For some, that journey may take up to 86 years. For others, few months. Last year, my little nephew completed his journey in 10 years. He returned back to the one who first called him, first framed him, first loved him. We all have to return back to him.…

Keep grace still!
I dreamed a dream then voiced it out loud. Now I am living a dream only dreams could birth. And grace will lead me all the way. I also finished making the beaded jewelry by the way.

Keep this grace, so amazing!
Finally, this day of grace, so amazing, has arrived. This day will forever be etched in my memory now. Not because of what I get to call myself from today, A full Professor, but more so for the untenable reality I molded for myself, reduced to manageable, transforming essence, my way, now my knowing so…

Keep knowing your Dharma!
What is your Dharma? It’s the one question Jay Shetty asks in his book ‘Think like a Monk.’ What is that thing you are good at? The thing that agitates you, helps you thrive, keeps you grateful or helps you serve others meaningfully. That thing that is a sprinkle of passion with some skills and…

Keep fighting for those that matter!
Who are the people you fight for? I am learning about them everyday. Not the typical, my family, those I love and care about, but the people you are willing to go the distance for. Slay dragons or catch a grenade for. The people for whom, risking your life is expected. You will do that…

Keep doing what you love!
Do what you love. Do it even if it hurts. Do it through tears. Do it through your fears. Do it through questions. Do it out of a need to just simply do it. Do it to move from this present state you find yourself in to a higher level. Do it out of curiosity.…

Keep courageous perseverance!
Yesterday, I sat in the midst of women championed to tell stories their way. We were beckoned to come on stage, snuggle in a new space and maybe even reach a summit. Whatever you do, know that you matter and your ambitions, all of them that keep your blood warm, are valid. I am on…
