Keep your depths!
And we shall delve deeply into the depths of our being, become like the moments before our birth. From the colors of earth, red and serene, to the waters of the river, flowing within. May our moments together be full of light, wild, polished but supreme light. May thick shades of peace, those that color…

Keep all you see!
As if looks were everything, she walked in sure that what eyes see where enough. Only they weren’t and everything depends on where you look in places where air seems hopeless. So she looked for spaces full of possibilities, she looked for where music flowed like branches in the wind. She looked for invisible places where…

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 beginning again!
There is something sweet about beginning again, like a mysterious birth whose purpose is to reveal. The way things emerge in the beginning, ideas come into being, as if they have always been there, how they leap from your soul too and become their own is the reason why I would always begin again.

Keep these words!

Keep what makes you smile!
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 your parenting!
The real work of motherhood begins when the day you never dreamed off arrives. For me, it was this week. I have been holding on to my daughter being my first baby for so long that I secretly refused to see her as the teenager she was becoming. I have been in denial since I…

Keep praising your staff!
They say when you praise a farmer, his/her cutlass becomes sharper. So to your staff. When you celebrate them and acknowledge them for all they do, they will do well. Today, my staff went above and beyond to answer yet another timely request needed to get our funds for our research. The outcomes are unknown…

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…
