Keep this grace!
I rather live in a world with more grace, more mercy, more love…We are all flawed beings. Only by grace we remain. My son and I started to plant Lillie’s this spring. It was our first time and I didn’t know to put the bulb in one space at a time. We ended up putting…

Keep these soulful moments!
I imagine the water of my soul, on certain days, slowly flowing and at peace. There maybe deep longings and memories made of light, still I know moments blazing like bonfires in awe of the sweetness of the dark. Keep this. The past couple of days have not been easy for so many still dealing…

Keep all your failures!
Consider yourself lucky if only unheard sounds joined to stop your flow through air. They call it failure, defeat, disappointment, even how your deficiency stopped you short from a priceless victory. What holds, what binds you still isn’t the failure bearing down your broken bones. Rather all of them, the bones, the air, the unheard…

Keep this love for grant writing!
Today, my team and I submitted three grants. This isn’t a praise post, but more so to encourage myself to keep rising to the things we love. Two of the three grants pushed me over the edge. One in particular, had me so down by the juggler that I would prefer simply to remain down.…

Keep these devotions!
In the midst of another tornado, we spotted a rainbow. The rain was heavy, so was the day. Another tornado. The 4th one in a row. Clearly these days are not playing by the rules. Clearly tornadoes are rewriting the rules. Clearly, we are glad to be alive. Clearly glad to be breathing even if…

Keep kindness!
Some words of kindness, unmeasured from my heart, are meant to remind you, remind me too, that this life, as measured and as unkind as it may be, still requires all of us to be kind.

Keep these lessons of falling leaves!
Even if leaves descend, even if they descend brittle and frail to the ground below, even if they are swept away by wind or birds, leaving trees and branches empty and alone, at least they fell, they moved down before going up and away, and we are here, forgetting the lessons begin first on the…

Keep this trust!
The idea of an entire sea within, one always expanding, full of love too from within you, with grace and gratitude, is the reason we trust. Above all else we are putting our trust in God and reminding ourselves like our son’s name, Olisa ga dubem…

Keep this necessary suffering!
We often stay on a path that we are already on, even if it’s going nowhere. I’m learning these days that life is full of necessary suffering, full of losses and renewal, full of a downward part to growth and imperfection. For everything you have, always be prepared and plan to lose it, so that…

Keep these notes!
Her final notations of a life not simple, life not long, life not little, but a life full of thought, life full of heart, life full of air, is that life will still be short, it will still not be simple, and you will endure. A reminder: You can’t gatekeep global health from women who…

Keep the shining sun after a tornado!
Our friends saw a tree outside their home. It’s was after the tornado that passed through St. Louis, and for them, it left no power, broken lights, and a large tree on the ground. They are okay they said. At least the sun is still shining. I agree. My heart goes out to everyone who…
