Keep all things you love
I write this. Not for you who fight to write your own words…but you who neither fear nor fight. I write this reminding you always to choose you. The world seems vast. It can also be remote and unfamiliar. But love for yourself will win and win.

Keep smiling!
The first artwork my last baby, the one born during the early months of the pandemic brought back from school will forever be cherished. Not because he is a budding artist. But rather for it’s simple message. Smile. Tomorrow will be better. Smile. Today may seem messy. Smile. Tomorrow is all you need. So smile.

Keep this Rest!
Some people want to know when it all happened? Truth is if you have been following my blog you would have seen why proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten. I have been intentional with using this space to reflect on my life in academia as well as my parenting. Nothing is…

Keep a new school year.
Yesterday was the start of a new school year. It was also the start of Pre-K for my baby born during the early months of the pandemic. I was overwhelmed and very anxious for him. He cried and stopped and cried and stopped and eventually we were forced to leave. He seemed to take it…

Keep remembering all the ways to carry water!
I am feeling both ordinary and magic. Ordinary and magic at this crossroads where life transitions to the next. I am feeling like wandering and striding only worlds that allow me to dream as life continues and continues. The power of words, always a muse. The loss of people I hold dear, a reminder. How…

Keep knowing failure leads to your superpower!
This is about failure. A reminder that it fortifies growth. Those focused on success or places far, the ideas just outside the box and with no path to funding. Those that force us to arise or learn to trust. All the ways we seek for real knowledge not whittled down by requirements. All things focused…

Keep flying through words.
They say to learn to fly, a bird must first leave a nest. I have been flying through words. I have been learning to break words open, to get at their bones and deal with words as though they were air. I am also learning to find not only how words get their meaning, but…

Keep dreaming still!
Those who write seldom die from pain. Survival is the only option for them. For only things that make them sane, things like light, stars, and anything else that dazzle in a full moon, will make them fertile beyond the night. These children of the sun and soil, whose bright depths rise silently still. These…

Keep these ideas as you wait for early intervention!
I have been thinking about what parents can do while they wait. A family member runs an Applied Behavioral therapy group and she is having a hard time finding therapists for her many kiddos. I said it must be tough and is the waiting list much better now. My reasons and full disclosure, one of…

Keep REST with your community!
They say a community that meets and let’s love be at the end, will live and live. I am in a space where finding, nurturing and keeping my community is all that matters. All last week they taught me something I simply forgot existed, the power of REST. We spend so much time working that…

Keep REST!
Here is how we restore rest. We sit on balconies over looking oceans the colors of the sky. We dance to the glorious rhythms they play with palm trees that rustle in the air. We choose the serenity and grace from moments when skies turn gray. Remembering there is always chaos to conquer. Noise too…

Keep making time for long walks with boys!
And there is time for everything. For taking long walks with you. On days were the skies are blue. And love is in the air for you. Baby bunnies and two little birds will try to say hello. A colony of brown ants too. We will see trees rustle in the wind for us. Trees…
