Keep this grace!
I rather live in a world with more grace, more mercy, more love…We are all flawed beings. Only by grace we remain. My son and I started to plant Lillie’s this spring. It was our first time and I didn’t know to put the bulb in one space at a time. We ended up putting…

Keep the messy magical start of your dreams!
At the messy magical start of your dreams, you will be long on ideas and short on time. Somethings will force you to change and change the dreams to save your soul. You will dwell in anything and nothing perfect and terrible. Of all the lives possible to you, the one you will choose is…

Keep these devotions!
In the midst of another tornado, we spotted a rainbow. The rain was heavy, so was the day. Another tornado. The 4th one in a row. Clearly these days are not playing by the rules. Clearly tornadoes are rewriting the rules. Clearly, we are glad to be alive. Clearly glad to be breathing even if…

Keep the WashU LIGHT public health summer camp for children 3-8th grade!
If I was to linger for a little while, about a day, I would choose today, choose this very important day, where teachers taught and we listened and children taught and we listened and it’s as if both were necessary, teachers and children teaching, and listening, and perhaps we can have more trustworthy public within…

Keep these lessons of falling leaves!
Even if leaves descend, even if they descend brittle and frail to the ground below, even if they are swept away by wind or birds, leaving trees and branches empty and alone, at least they fell, they moved down before going up and away, and we are here, forgetting the lessons begin first on the…

Keep this trust!
The idea of an entire sea within, one always expanding, full of love too from within you, with grace and gratitude, is the reason we trust. Above all else we are putting our trust in God and reminding ourselves like our son’s name, Olisa ga dubem…

Keep global health!
I would rather study global health than any other field, yet all fields have their force worthy of reflections. Complex issues requiring multiple lens pulls me forward, bravely, to navigate, even if slowly, what can be done to address the complexity. Global health requires many endeavors with ample narratives that require us to turn the page…

Keep this heroic global health movement!
As a community, I write on behalf of us all. We don’t need any one story, any singular experience as the experience that personifies what global health means for all of us. Not when all experiences matter. In the words of Toni Morrison, what we need now is a heroic global health movement, one assertive,…

Keep the freedom of dreams!
There is a certain kind of freedom that dwells in people who dream. It’s the kind that knows no limits, fears no limit and is forever prepared to soar past any limit. Today, I learnt to be grateful for this freedom. See where people curse the despair that swells to the brim, those who dream…

Keep your impact!
Twice today, I found myself speechless. The first was from a woman named poem. A name given to her by her father. She shared how writing as I do here has been inspiring to her in a way that I didn’t even know. I was speechless and grateful that these words give many comfort in…

Keep why you write!
These days I’m learning that even leaves on the ground have invisible wounds that are always shared with strangers. So too the words within us. They reveal us. To write increases the revelation shapes our actions. I am learning that words carry the joy, the sorrow, yet still the optimism of every writer. However tall…

Keep the love for boys little!
It’s another day, and we are among those lucky people who get to see this day and it’s rain and the birds that lurk around grasses, on their feet, like the a red cardinal bird that hurries from one grass to another, from one branch to another, such is the life of a mother, this…
