Keep these moments!
I write these days to celebrate life, to listen as water falls, to remember the power of hurdles, to love every struggle we meet. My middle son had a melt-down today. We rarely have them but when it happens, it is as fierce as it is hopeful and a reminder that every single moment of…

Keep your name, and this harmony with your becoming!
There are three things with life I am learning help me stand. First, the idea of being human. Why are we here, now at this moment and for what do we hope for with the times we find ourselves in. The second is how will you endure. The battle is long, so what tools are…

Keep being young at heart!
We went to Disney on Ice, reluctantly at first. There were 5 little boys and one almost teen daughter and let’s just say none of the boys wanted to go. We convinced them it would be short and we would go to a playdate afterwards and they reluctantly came along. Of course the show was…

Keep this 4th anniversary, the one full of grace!
One of my favorite prayers begins with the word, “Hail Mary, full of grace.” If you know the next lines, for me, you would know that the lord has truly been with me. For who can go through fire, go through trials and somehow, get to the other side, oblivious to the fact that just…

Keep all the ways we last!
she spoke harsh truths today about why things never last, not because many never try but because continuing to remain, against yesterday’s hopes and tomorrow’s reactive dreams can be futile in a setting where even darkness brims with glee. progress will be slow, acting too, but still, even with sweat and some blood, a little…

Keep life still and still!
however bright life is, however brilliant, however broken it maybe, however you bear it, we know she remembered the moment she stood at rivers edge, wondering what she would do differently, if this be yesterday, and she stood at the crossroads again, she would go with grace through the deep valley, knowing the sun shines…

Keep flying!
It is the person who fails, who tries and tries, yet fails, that has the most sterling story than anyone you know successful. I know many who wrote grants their first time and got it, many who resigned from jobs and moved on, many who turned their back on things great and kept their backs…

Keep life still
If this is life, if this is the moment between our birth and our death, I hope you spend each moment loving those that let love win with a bouquet of carnations and baby breath. Otherwise try, try to inhale love, exhale everything else! Today happens to be one year when dreams began earnestly and…

Keep the festival of nations in Saint Louis!
We went to the festival of nations today. We left happy. That and grateful that everyone can bring their gifts, their sense of well being to such a feast and well all of us in attendance are richer because of the variety and distinctiveness of the offerings our eyes created. Indeed, the firewood which a…

Keep fighting back!
What to root for? What to root for? These days, when we fight back we win. Also, we are not going back. That’s all. That’s all the root.
