Keep imaginations
Read more: Keep imaginationsI have been writing and thinking about why we write. This time, my daughter and my son are my muse. I listened intently as she told me during dinner about her desire to start her own company, one where she would simply write and illustrate all the books she wanted to write. Currently she is…

Keep dwelling among fine people!
Read more: Keep dwelling among fine people!Today, I dwelled among some fine people. Poets, storytellers, researchers, humans committed to the light, the beauty of our humanity. And they all glistened, smiled as they glistened. Finer than silver moons. Oozing words, delicious words, as juicy as the sweetest berries. Of ways humanity will flourish because we loved us, loved our coming together…

Keep the joy of living.
Read more: Keep the joy of living.It was Lorraine Hansberry that said once to a friend that she wished to live because life has within it that which is good, that which is beautiful and that which to love.

Keep letting light in!
Read more: Keep letting light in!I write slowly. Painstakingly slow. I have been letting the words come. They come really slow. It may seem like I can’t get to the end. I have been told to set deadlines. I do. All the time I have deadlines with my other style of writing. I always meet the ones with the grants…

Keep celebrating heros like Dr. King, local heros like Dr. Mati!
Read more: Keep celebrating heros like Dr. King, local heros like Dr. Mati!I am all about light. All about celebrating those who build and sustain it. Those unafraid to give a little light, to make their light shine too.

Keeping knowing that the heart of justice is truth-telling.
Read more: Keeping knowing that the heart of justice is truth-telling.Have you ever wondered what Dr. King do today if he was alive? I imagine he would be thankful for the outpouring of love, for his purpose, for his good will, for his justice. I also imagine that he would be in awe with how everyone, old and young, are doing their part to remind…

Keep healing our wounds!
Read more: Keep healing our wounds!In killing rage, bell hooks talked about the need to heal our wounds. Not to be misconstrued with moments where we survive with grace, elegance, or beauty, but rather the wounds that are often hidden or fundamentally traumatic. Living and coping with the ongoing pandemic is fundamentally traumatic and we are all not okay. I…

Keep escaping like trees during snowfall!
Read more: Keep escaping like trees during snowfall!We woke up this morning to snow. A winter storm has finally arrived to Saint Louis and all I want to do is sleep the day away.

Keep dancing in the mind or writing for people!
Read more: Keep dancing in the mind or writing for people!Imagine taking seven days to frame the entire world. The kind of patience it would take to ensure that the stars and the moon are in the right place. All sorts of fishes or sea monsters swim the oceans. Mountains and hills are perfectly framed with volcanoes ready to erupt as they please. Having such…

Keep blooming!
Read more: Keep blooming!Is it to early to pray for Spring? I know it’s just January. But I am tired and exhausted with winter and Omicron. The thought of Spring seems soothing.

Keep thanks and grace for frontline workers!
Read more: Keep thanks and grace for frontline workers!I love thank you cards. I love to read them. Love to see them. Love the humanity inherent in them. I especially love when they come from strangers. My husband gets them all the time. He knows how much I love to see them too. This time, the stranger was more than gracious, so much…
