Keep the story of you two together!
Two people together is a miracle. I am seeing that everyday. You don’t only thrive in the ups, the downs build you. There will be moments when you are writing the story, telling it from one side, your side, when the other side, with all its twists and turns, pushes forth a narrative of its…

Keep lazy rivers!
Today I sat by a lazy river and let the sun and its rays soak me deep. There were purple flowers along the river and children sharing how angle fishes swim slow just like the river. I sat wondering if this is heaven or what else can describe how you prevail through storms. So if…

Keep joy
If by chance you see things joyful, I pray you ask it to bring light to you. We surrounded ourselves with joy today and truly every single moment was full of light. Keep your days of joy…

Keep shining even through storms!
Some days will keep you speechless, force you to get on your knees and cry, then rise, knowing you are a star. Today, was another reminder to shine bright still even through storms. We are grateful no one was hurt and yes we will rebuild following yet another storm in STL.

Keep your blessings!
These days, we are bringing goodness by blessing everything we see, blessing everything we think, blessing everything we feel, just so this air counts. Thank you Korede House for another wonderful evening with STARS!

Keep this bliss!
As the bliss ends with some good friends, we are reminded that the sea is to be respected, every child is a sacred trust, live while you still breath, then make any day your way, whether a rude boy on the market, or standing next to mahogany trees, everything whispers here, the air, the rain,…

Keep knowing you are possible!
Picture this, you sitting in a room across from the ocean. Palm trees rustling in the wind not bothered by the ocean. The sea is flowing in a rhythm of its own. And so are you, sitting in a rhythm of your own and there is a note here, on the wall and you are…

Keep this season of love!
The wind kisses your face, the ocean and its winds adore you too. If ever I was asked to describe a moment of bliss, what it felt like or what did I feel in that moment, I would say joy, for nothing else can describe what it feels like to be loved by the ocean,…

Keep these market dreams!
Market women flow as if in a pattern. Clothes are often the same colors. Hair and smiles too. They seem to always appear the same, together, building, dreaming, together, as a show of force. They are always there, as a group, always a force as women. I spent the day walking down memory lane as…

Keep all your stories!
My dear dad once told me to focus on school, just do all that mattered with school, then my life partner would arrive. I listened. Cut my hair and dove straight into what being a doctoral student was all about, bald head and all with jewelry making on the side. Then my dad died and…

Keep being tough!
Some of us are resisting being fried and shaken, being seasoned and oiled, being consumed and destroyed, or being blown into nothingness. We would rather be tough in our essence, tough like kernels that never pop, such that if they eat us, they choke. Gail Chandler has a poem about being old maids like…
