Keep tomorrow!
I like to imagine that tomorrow is for those bright, those like flame, those prepared to sparkle, those who shine. Tomorrow belongs to those young, those old too, those who long for night, those who live for day. Tomorrow belongs to those with a broad arch, those with a long fetch, those ready to hatch,…

Keep those who remind you of how you have everything you need!
What I learnt today was so powerful to keep to myself. The past one week has been a real life lesson of what the dip is all about. I shared that as we fully begin this game changing journey, expect a dip. Sounds crazy but I shared it again during my plenary. A dip is…

Keep this day of eliminating cervical cancer.
I have known something of the fight some speak off. I still remember what it’s like to be called Osodieme. I knew once we heard those words, this fight would be more than personal. That day is forever etched in my mind like something of the dark people speak off. It’s not that eyes can’t…

Keep this love, even as we eliminate cervical cancer!
What we wanted seemed little enough at that time. There was something there, making it hard to eat. She was seeing a doctor. They will take a piece of something, and promised everything will be okay. Hours turned to days and days turned into more days. When we finally spoke, she shared what we had…

Keep the public’s health.
The same scene has been repeated many times. We say we want something better for our collective public health, but give into tyranny to prove a point. Some many now wonder what could be done. Honestly nothing. Many of us are tired and sick and tired of being tired. Nothing at this point can sort…

Keep stumbling dreams
Some dreams stumble, seeing nothing, not even the horizon until it meets vision and together they merge. Dreams are eyes that see stumble, see nothing, see horizons, see vision, even on a blunt path, they open and enter.

Keep a joyful day!
They possess a look, a feel, a thing, that can only be described as joy. Those many may not know. Those hidden. Those few remember. Those we choose to keep. For day after day and of course on this most colorful day, they help us spread joy to all. Happy Halloween from my joyful family…

Keep the gift of life
These days, I’m aware that today is a gift. Tomorrow, a treasure. What I can do is visit, stay awhile, smile, eat good food, run, and maybe laugh with a mango gelato at hand. We have come for a moment. It may be forever or a day. Still, I’ll like to live as if tomorrow…

Keep this meaning of life!
For the freedom of your dreams, future joys and open eyes, live. Through ways silent and wise, the seed of your spirit and undiscovered roads, learn. When things happen and everything changes, pray. Through time and life, through the best and worst in souls, love. The above are from Ben Okri. My mood for this…

Keep dreaming again!
If by chance you come across a dream so old, so hidden, it’s invisible even to you who once dreamed this dream, don’t flee, dream again. See that dream in your eyes again, follow the direction of its scent, retrace your footsteps back to the place where your dreams first began, until you begin to…

Keep knowing your dreams are valid, visible, your dreams!
If I have never dreamed, saw others dream, leaned against the wall knowing dreams are hard, always distant, like a thing for others, those they call experts, with many degrees after their names, few like mine, my dreams like yours, always distant and denied, always denied despite how many times we tried. If I have…
