Keep days full of dreams!
Some days are rich. Not only will you gaze at the skies and see a rainbow, life would remind you that everything for you starts in yellow like a goldfinch and ends in grace like rainbows you see. This life you live, this day and onwards, requires only dreaming…

Keep the beginning!
It was simple to begin. Hard to continue. Even harder to not give up as we suffered. Wanting more for this life, wanting it for others, silent and alone. But the simple beginning, all that it laid bare, is why we celebrate the end, even in silence, knowing we are not alone. We choose to…

Keep breathing!
Even if you never intended to breathe, there is no use wasting air, so breathe. Be as urgent as a knife and breathe knowing each moment is a lifetime, with so many stories to write, no matter how you slice it, breathe. Some moments will force you to breathe, force you to remember to bless…

Keep the grace of hydrangeas!
The day I watched panicle hydrangeas bloom on a cool rainy morning, was the day I knew grace requires facing forward, requires understanding each other, requires evolving again, requires learning how to pray while still dreaming about lasting together.

Keep being green!
Dead trees don’t produce fruits, but some fruits on dead trees, stay green. My kids and I walked by branches from a tree dead. My daughter noted that dead trees often do not produce fruits, yet these branches were full of fruits still green. It got me wondering, how are we staying green in a…

Keep dreaming always!
I was wondering out loud the other today, what my legacy would be when it’s all said and done. I hope my legacy points people back to the reasons why they dream, how to dream and who is always at the helm of their dreams. It’s God, always God. We are dreaming again, building too…

Keep soulful moment
Some moments require you to not be a stranger to your soul, to live each day like it’s your first, to save yourself no matter the cost, and look at the sky every night even if for a minute.

Keep lessons at crossroads!
A burning desire for freedom at crossroads will lead you down a path so vivid and clear. This desire will force you to stripe life to its essence and embrace all you see at crossroads.

Keep the wonders of Naija!
In Naija, or like we call it, home, we think a lot about movement, and bustling streets and buildings tall and straight as trees, and the grey skies we hang on to, everyone happy to see another day, at least there is wonder here, and magic too, for where else will you see blind men, …

Keep connecting to your desires!
I was asked yesterday to describe soulful grants. My mind went straight to my heart. Of what use is a grant if it only knows the head, forgetting that the longest journey you will ever take is the one from your head to your heart. So my response: Grant writing is a way of connecting…

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…
