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…

Keep knowing why you stand!
In a room where children confident and clear, soar and touch the eloquent world that emerges, there are melodies that mirror the skies eternity. They glow as if the love in us is singing to the love in us. They show happiness, glory, and beauty like the nectar of tea roses. We enter, knowing these…

Keep the happiness under your nose!
Our flights got cancelled last week. In a land were cacti dwell. We could either complain or chose peace even in such chaotic moments. For happiness is still right under our nose. Then we were told of a place where tulips dwell. We were told we could spend hours there. We could go from cacti…

Keep words and their meanings!
Some words leave you breathless. The idea of anything being described as pathological for one. Then there are words like disrespectful, unsolicited, insulting, accusing, and anything else that personifies negativity that would leave you wondering whether evil exists in anything that spews words in this way. I am in a phase of my life where…

Keep hope and a dog named Simba!
Igbo people say that Nchekume ka o-li-li or in other words, that which you hope for is more important than eating anything. So long as you keep hope alive, eventually that thing you wish for, will come to pass. At the beginning for summer, I took my kids to a dog park. We walked for…

Keep being little pots!
Igbo people have a saying, that when a little pot is underrated, it boils over and extinguishes the fire. Not too long ago, I watched as people looked down on me and my mentor. Granted we are different. You can never tell what we are capable of. And proverbs are the palm oil within which…
