Keep being grass!
If you find me at the brink of giving up, at the point of forgetting love, at a basement with no light, at dawn with no song, at a gathering with no tears, at the edge with no words, at a Red Sea with no faith at a desert with no thirst at a devotion…

Keep lighting a path for the public’s health!
If and when the public takes their rightful place with health, if and when they do, and they are freed from all the bondage exclusively cultivated by those that purport to study them, love them maybe, I hope they are not ignored as those midnight that burn, otherwise what would be the purpose? A voice…

Keep protecting your light!
I was reminded by a dear friend the other day that when I thought I dimmed my light, when during the transition year of 2023, the chaos and conflicts, the move from one place to another brought so much bitterness and anger, when I dimmed my energy, when I didn’t even acknowledge that I was…

Keep words for every day things you love in 2025!
Everyday, I am surrounded by ideas beautiful, one of which is you, words to keep, firing up my life as nothing else could. Of course there are things to do, places to go, children to raise, and people to love, but still the thought of keeping words, one at a time, is like the red…

Keep the sounds of love for 2024!
This evening as we gathered together, I listened to sounds of those that hold us close. One was crying, my first son. He had just used his dad’s clippers to scrap hair off his head. His little brothers and older sister talked about getting him a toupe to cover his head as his dad tried…

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 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…
