Keep nurturing what matters!
I imagine somethings can be bold and urgent. Yesterday I started to write about my grandmother’s death. It’s been 27 years and still if feels like it was yesterday. They say never let your knowledge of anything keep you from your nurturing of core things. So, that same yesterday, I sat and listened to dreams…

Keep a fruitful day!
They possess a look, a feel, a thing, that can only be described as joy. Those many may not know. Those hidden. Those few remember. Those we choose to keep. For day after day and of course on this most colorful day, they help us spread joy to all. Happy Halloween from my fruitful family…

Keep being a bright star!
We spent today discussing the approach section of a grant. It’s my least favorite section to write. One where I actually struggled to teach it. There are no right or wrong way to write an approach section. Every grant will be different I noted. The least you can do is anticipate the conflict inherent in…

Keep these experiences!
I lay my head, and let the sound of nothing flow into my ear. But the sound of children crying, my head now exploding, as nothing describes, how these soft foundations, these complexities of sound, these words flowing from my head, in a way, order, clear, the chaos, the cavity, clouding my chambers. Some days…

Keep leaning not on your own!
I have seen wide eyes that mirrored my soul. Daring heights with wonder still nestled in my soul. They say hope is a thing you never do alone, even if you die alone. Find it all the way down in yourself, where it can never be judged like children, who tell stories, all on their…

Keep being human!
There are good people. Everywhere. He said there are good people. Some even kind, some thoughtful, some considerate and some committed to the cause of these damn children. Find them, no matter how small. Find a group of people committed to our children and see how they change the world. We went to our first…

Keep making us proud!
Sometimes it’s the small things that matter. A gathering, with children, all equipped to tell a different story, paint their story, in a different way. Sometimes it’s the small things that matter and tonight, everything you all did, alone, on stage, was a divine as you.

Keep confidence even when confused!
Soccer season started yesterday. My baby started his first game confused about this sport. At first he sat down with his teammates and watched as they got up and went to the field. Then it was his turn and he was asked to join them in the field. The coach asked if he would kick…

Keep beginning again!
Where you begin or rise, where you start or initiate again, everything you open up like flowers, falling rain on an awaited storm are for where you close out or phase away, terminate or simply wrap up, even in places where you once marveled as you planted away. All of this help to shape stories…

Keep competent ethical institutions!
Earlier this year I asked for help with a single IRB process. I run a bunch of clinical trials and when we wrote them as grants, we noted they would be a single IRB platform. I wrote to anyone that cared as to why such a process mattered. In the end, I received no help.…

Keep knowing our stories!
Sometimes what is noted, what is already stated is a lie, and the truth, everything you know is unstated and unknown. But what is known, whether truth or lie, is not everything. Another thing, another different thing, is required. So sometimes, what is already known is not simply enough. Grant writer, researcher, global health worker,…
