Keep your name and the peace it brings!
And the dreams of my father, those nurtured in a place where sands are red, spoke to me again, from the depths of our soul, through storms raging, through torrents pouring, saying even anger will never reach your soul, even if hot pebbles fall on your bare skin, even if the heavens force the skies…

Keep knowing you belong here!
You belong here, as do the ocean, your children, your husband, your hopes, your hurdles, your dreams, your desires, the legs that walk this earth, the eyes that see these trees, you belong here, next to things that challenge you, next to moments we face our fears, next to one particular harbor, next to a…

Keep loving you!
My dear colleague and I have this grand idea of opening up a spot that indulges everything we love. For me, my books, scarves and things. I say things because my love for things keeps growing. Sometimes it’s jewelry. Handmade kind. Other times it’s just puff puff because why not. So I love things. My…

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 seeing your smile!
I saw my smile the other day, saw how it made my eyes light up, saw how my lips became crooked, head tilted to the side, shoulders lean forward, all with an ease I could watch forever. So I started to see my smile more, see the way it burrowed deep within my soul, see…

Keep these moments!
I write these days to celebrate life, to listen as water falls, to remember the power of hurdles, to love every struggle we meet. My middle son had a melt-down today. We rarely have them but when it happens, it is as fierce as it is hopeful and a reminder that every single moment of…

Keep your name, and this harmony with your becoming!
There are three things with life I am learning help me stand. First, the idea of being human. Why are we here, now at this moment and for what do we hope for with the times we find ourselves in. The second is how will you endure. The battle is long, so what tools are…

Keep this 4th anniversary, the one full of grace!
One of my favorite prayers begins with the word, “Hail Mary, full of grace.” If you know the next lines, for me, you would know that the lord has truly been with me. For who can go through fire, go through trials and somehow, get to the other side, oblivious to the fact that just…
