Keep telling your story!
When stories go a distance, they become crooked. So too the story for today. It began as any other, with plans beyond time. Then life intervened and the journey turned into another moment in need for deeper reflection. We are all stories, carrying kernels of truth, mixed with untruth, all shaped as we journey along…

Keep those that guide you!
It’s been over 20 years since we met and everyday seems so sterling. I am learning to recognize and respect the place where I feel so cherished and secure and in my academic life, it’s in his presence. I am able soar because he told me I could. Told me too that who was I…

Keep seeing goodness!
Some words have wings, forcing you to soar when spoken. Today I saw the message in the words “see goodness” and we are certainly soaring to the skies. I kept saying I’m where I am supposed to be. Everything about today was divine that those words made my eyes see for myself how blessed I…

Keep Nnem love!
Some people love me. Not in moderation. But the kind of love that will lift you up in the air if necessary. Some people love me. Not in pieces, but love that keeps you full and whole. Some people love me. The kind of love that requires you let it be known if only to…

Keep words that dwell in you!
The words I write, are always wanting to be of use for a day. Today, three words crept into my soul from the beginning and so I wrote them down again. Be of use. To whom, I wondered. Myself. Of course I will make use of my time on earth. But who else, my Zobam,…

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 your core like emeralds!
The core of the strong are like emeralds waiting for light to reach them. They breathe and thrive in pain. They prevail knowing, in the end, they are treasured even if for some moments. The weight they carry feels like death, feels like life too. At least they know death, they know life, they know…
