Where were you today?

The human spirit is uniquely resilient! Today we honor this profoundly human tragedy and its pervasive short and long term, local and global consequences, financial and otherwise, with our uniquely human ability to heal and grow. Please take a moment to Pause, Plan, and Pivot. Help yourself and others find our ways together to a brighter, sustainable, personal financial future and maybe George Kinder’s Golden Civilization will appear as the cultural change we wish to see in the world.

It was a beautiful sunrise. I was driving home from a long nightshift in bumper to bumper Chicago traffic. I heard 9/11 unfold on my favorite morning radio show Eric & Kathy on 101.9 The MIX. I remember their confusion evolve into horror, anger, and sadness. It transmitted to me over the airwaves through their quivering voices and burned graphic images on my brain. I arrived home and woke my wife to tell her the “world had changed”. We turned on the TV and watched the aftermath and reruns with tears in our eyes, shock in our minds, pain in our hearts, and gut wrenching fear for the future in our bellies. The Darkness is not forgotten, but it has given way to The Light.

NeverForget
