Keep love with sustaining anything!
It’s becoming truly clear these days that sustaining anything in a community setting is about integration. Of course it includes the different parts that make up an evidence-based intervention or program, but all these parts for communities limited with resources, need to be integrated into a whole that is greater than the sum of its…

Keep all the ways we last!
I’ll admit that I don’t know why things last or much about sustainability. Truth is many of us don’t. History notes that no matter how rigorous any one project or intervention may seem, even if it was published in the best of journals or by the best teams always eager to share their brilliant minds,…

Keep the end!
We often hope that the end would be the easy, different from the beginning. But even if you sigh for relief, it won’t be easy, the end, and days will be glistening like patches of rain, and nothing would give. Everything would seem like a fast decline but you are standing and still there, and…

Keep understanding life!
The Igbo people have a popular saying that nothing new happens under the sun. Life is in constant motion and anything that is happening now has happened before and will happen again.

Keep getting up!
I am learning that true, you can blame others for pushing you down, but you have yourself to blame for refusing to get up. September often had me revisiting where I was just 2 years ago. The skies were bleak and I have blamed others including myself for how things ended in the end. I’m…

Keep your journey!
On the path to your dreams, you will come across fear, failure, doubts, and a heavy dose of despair. Yet, still you will walk as if there is no other path worth taking. It’s your dreams after all and even if it leads to despair, at least you are dreaming

Keep this grace!
Imagine falling over the edge, not once, or twice, just falling, hoping, praying you would land on something soft, like a soft light feathery cushion, to withstand what may have pushed you over the edge. I was pushed this week, pushed so hard that I expect no pillows in the end, just a rock and…

Keep everything!
They say everything is good. Every beginning, every moment, every fear, every strength, everything we will do is good. We meet every need at the right time. Every dream too. Like the moon we are full, when all we do is good. so keep everything.

Keep you words!
I’m not shy about writing. This year has forced me to bare it all out. It has also taken me to depths and layers within me that I keep learning and unlearning just to relearn what it means to live life your way. See you will need to become comfortable with all systems you see.…
