Keep centering sustainment!
I spent the day opening the doors to the source of my being in academic world. I cherish describing myself as a researcher passionate about how to sustain evidence based interventions or programs. I have also read and re-read literature on what this means for the field that sitting in a room full of brilliant…

Keep surprise moments!
We celebrated a gentle giant today. He is the most kindest, sweetest and humble man you would ever meet and to celebrate him today was the thing this life is made for. We only have 2 determined moments in our lives: the day we are born and the day we will die. He stated if…

Keep the rise of your stories with implementation science!
Another one of the ways to enter fire or light or whatever brings you happiness is to call it by name over and over the deep breath you take. When you know you are so many, and the same light from the sun blazes for you as it blazes for everyone in Ghana, or India,…

Keep these lessons!
We surrender to words, not worlds, not when any leaf can be shaken, not when light remains light no matter what it shines on.

Keep these words!
I am learning that language is supposed to move us to a place where meaning may lie. Its force, felicity, its reach is toward the unspeakable. Word-work is sublime. It’s generative, making meaning that secure our differences the way in which we are like no other life. Words by Toni Morrison.

When you meet a man walking bare feet with his cane and his parrot (who also spread their wings for me), you smile knowing this life will be alright…It will.

Keep the people you see!
I went to a market and spoke to people. All sorts of people. All of them had one thing in common, a desire to be with people, to connect, to create, to even celebrate that which makes us whole. I went to a market and spoke to people but truly people spoke to my soul.

Keep the bridge between us!
I am intentionally busy this year. Intentionally cutting myself of things that do not serve me. If I am quiet, if I am so quiet that a pin drops, know it’s not you but me. I’m learning that how we see ourselves, you and me and whatever bridge that is between us depends on us…

Keep watching!
For those of us who dream…pay attention to what sits inside yourself and watches you and is you…It may take time, but sit, smile, and watch.

Keep the common dreams of a dreamer!
In moments of stress, or moments of strife, through periods of chaos, or periods of change, when life becomes unpredictable, days and nights too, unpredictable, when the voices and the places that once nurtured you, turn on you, whether storms erupt or your strong purpose erodes, no matter whether your candle burns it self out…

Keep what is deep for you!
Some of us love deep. Some of us hate deep too. Some keep their circles deep, some their words too. I’m thinking too deep, hence the head but this life will force you to realign what matters the most and sometimes it will require deep thinking that scatters your brain. Where you are going, so…

Keep what you fear!
Fear is a child after one’s heart. It will pile stones, pile bones, and leave you in ruins, if you don’t undo what you fear. I saw this book when my team and I visited J Randel Museum in Lagos last month. I took a mental note and promised I would get a copy as…
