There are moments where your heart skips a bit, you stay motionless, only moving as reality returns. In those moments, I hope something sweet and kind, crosses your mind. Today was full of those moments, full of gratitude too that all that I can say is to keep moments that let your heart skip a…

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 what is deep for you!
Some of us love deep. Some of us hate deep too. Some keep their circles deep, some their words too. I’m thinking too deep, hence the head but this life will force you to realign what matters the most and sometimes it will require deep thinking that scatters your brain. Where you are going, so…

Keep what you fear!
Fear is a child after one’s heart. It will pile stones, pile bones, and leave you in ruins, if you don’t undo what you fear. I saw this book when my team and I visited J Randel Museum in Lagos last month. I took a mental note and promised I would get a copy as…

Keep this state of emptiness!
I have been in a state of emptiness. Scott Peck in his book a Different Drum described emptiness as making room for the other, whatever the other may mean to you. It maybe something different, unexpected, new and maybe even better. Most importantly, it maybe for the community. We cannot let the other into ourselves…

Keep words that echo louder!
If words echo, if they do so without losing their beat, rhythm, pulse, or wind, our eyes will close. This last day of summer, before kids return to school, I closed my eyes, and words echoed in my soul

Keep all your failures!
Failure, don’t talk to me about failure or what I am capable of. When I wanted jewels for health, I wanted jewels for health. I trained girls, one school at a time, and took jewels to them to end the HIV epidemic and we failed without warning, without wining and without any wind blowing our…

Keep imagining this life!
Imagine being the hope that is not split by time. Imagine being the seeds of light. Imagine being born of this earth. Imagine being the center of beginnings. Imagine triumphing over night. Imagine all this as you remember who first planted the seed. It’s been years with you gone but every 8/6 is a reminder…
