In Memoriam September 11th, 2001.

9/11/01, a day I will never forget. It was a horrifying radical tragedy and watching it unfold before my very eyes and ears marked me for life. (what's your story? do you remember what you were doing then? I do. clearly etched.)

May we never sweep these disturbing events under the rug nor forget the senseless loss of so many loved ones & the decisions of absent minded leader(s) that lead to its implementation in the first place. May we all make informed choices for our world and community leaders, and trust our instincts in our everyday journey's.

Hug and keep close your friends, children, family and loved communities tonight.  Celebrate your bonds and love for each other and see the value in our gathered society as we live peacefully, whereas worn-torn countries experience our "9/11" on a daily, weekly, monthly basis.  How terrifying is that?!!

Gratitude for my birth-right as a Canadian is steadfast and I take stock in thank-you's daily for the gracious simplicities life has offered to me (speech, sight, breath, fresh water, choice, opportunity) as well as my greatest treasures (my children, my health, my family of friends).  Lest we forget and may we learn and grow from these experiences, never to repeat again.  Think big, think small, tiny and enormous despicable events are happening right next door to us, or within our close knit groups.  May you always be the sort who speaks out, speaks up and provides direction and light to the source of healing, change and justice to these situations.  No task is too big or too small for us to get involved in, random human kindness is the path to our communities growing and thriving.  Be the solution, be the change, witness enormous human and earthly benefit.  Lock your mind-set on it's course towards peace, love, generosity and kindness ~ watch yourself and everyone around you ... change.

xo warmth and friendship to you all, dear readers.
Goodnight, and take care of each other xo

Below an informative sensitive documentary on the reality of the moment
 beyond the glorified "heroes story"

World Trade Centre ~ Jumpers (WARNING: graphic!! but the reality)

Real life account only yards away from the trade centre of the 2nd plane hitting and the buildings collapsing - this is what I remember most seeing it live, but a country away, although not that far. I was in shock thinking I was watching a movie, people telling me this was happening on the radio, I was still in disbelief. Utterly Shocking.
