Keep a community of women!
Read more: Keep a community of women!So this must be why they call it paradise, spirit and soul connecting, listening, being together, under blue skies and palm trees, purple cactus and lemon trees, eating herb roasted whole chicken, fennel crusted sea bass, with baby kale risotto, while drinking blood orange lemon punch, and the sun set is as dazzling as can…

Keep knowing where there is women, there is magic!
Read more: Keep knowing where there is women, there is magic!Where there is a woman there is magic. Where there is a woman, magic is there. If the moon is falling from her mouth, if the brilliance of the moon is even in her mouth, she is a woman who knows her magic. Like a gentle deer, she knows her brilliance too. And a woman…

Keep moments with God part 4!
Read more: Keep moments with God part 4!Maybe it was the cold. I have never liked the easy wind of cold winter days. Maybe it was the place. I never understood the bewitching charms of Augusta.

Keep life notes!
Read more: Keep life notes!I am not quick to describe for myself whether life is this or that. There are so many different ways to live life.

Keep knowing what you will keep and happy birthday Audre Lorde!
Read more: Keep knowing what you will keep and happy birthday Audre Lorde!I remember reading these lines from Audre Lorde years ago, in a letter she once wrote to a friend, that it is ‘out of chaos that new worlds are born.’ For the past two years, I have been moving past so many boundaries I once set for myself through words. Of course the pandemic was…

Keep moments with God, part 2!
Read more: Keep moments with God, part 2!You came in the afternoon. Around four, forty-five. On two, seventeen, seventeen. Daddy was there the entire time. Just him, you and Gillian, our nurse practitioner with a smile that never fades. Only three of us. She looked at Dad and asked if he was ready. He smiled. She knew he was. He wore the…

Keep praising children who know love!
Read more: Keep praising children who know love!We remind ourselves, each day, all children are precious. Black, Brown, White, no matter the color, or creed, all children, whether strange or foreign, are precious.

Keep speaking love!
Read more: Keep speaking love!And when I speak of love, I speak of you.

Keep the blessings of Lucille Clifton!
Read more: Keep the blessings of Lucille Clifton!When my children say your name, Lucille Clifton, I smile. How to carry water comes to mind. How to sail through this to that too. I often wonder how you lived. Lived even beyond your own understanding. A good woman, an ordinary woman, a woman whose voice is light too. I’ll never forget your Black…

Keep moments with God!
Read more: Keep moments with God!Some moments linger on, like a song, playing on. Like the moment he arrived. We call him Olisa, but truly he is our beloved. Our guide through life.

Keep knowing that anger does not reach my soul!
Read more: Keep knowing that anger does not reach my soul!They call us Iwelunmor. The ones for whom anger does not reach our soul. Even if they stir up trouble. The ones for whom anger does not invade our being. Even if they hinder our dreaming. The ones for whom anger does not dwell in our mind. Even if it lasts for a moment. So…
