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…

Keep communities!
Let us talk about community, of how people meet. How meetings lead to community. Of how we loose all that matters, the meetings, the community, when we don’t meet. Meetings make communities. Then communities impact the world. I’m in a space where meetings with the right communities matter.

Keep the music of storms!
Some storms bring music so proud they whistle across the skies, blending with nature as if the rhythms and all the chords left behind where echos of a life so powerless that all a soul could do is rest. I have been through such a storm. Been through the loud drums that left even the…

Keep dreaming!
I am learning to live while alive. To learn the way of moonlight and stars. To praise when I can and be silent when I can’t. For time is gift and I rather use it wisely dreaming. And dreams take us to places impossible. These dreams are like our heart beat, beating rapidly with each…

Keep this peace!
Belle, just look at us and know the full extent of your peace. Between me and life, there is quite a lot of things to do. An extra trip or so to a place where cacti dwell. A day’s trip around a city that never sleeps. Where one is at peace is very important. Especially…

Keep a full soul!
Yesterday, my day was flooded with a sweetness I never knew I deserved. To read the prayers, hear the songs, feel sweet murmurs of love, made life feel enough. The day was just right considering it also began a journey I promised I would give to those I truly love. Dreams for tomorrow sang with…
