My dear friends,
I know all too well the mixed emotional roller coaster of this day in history and will never forget. I was on the 74th floor of WTC 2 for a breakfast meeting with my clients at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter at 8:30 AM. Personal photographs I took in the aftermath are in my pictures on my Care2 network site along with some poems, verse and collection of shared materials in my blogs.
I have come to the realization that I made it through this atrocity and ordeal for some greater purpose in life and in essence, was reborn to live simply, so that others may simply live. Everything happens for a reason... and even though I mourn the loss of relatives, loved ones, acquaintances, co-workers, comrades, friends and strangers alike - I am blessed to have memories of shared moments and connections to every and all that is, and appreciate each and every waking moment.
My son is serving his third tour in Afghanistan and I keep a strong vigil for his and all others safe return and peace come to fruition one day at a time.
Today is a gift to be opened and treasured... for living in the past makes one lose the present.
Wishing you peace, love and joy - today and every day.
In love and light,
Victoria
