There isn't much we can write today that won't seem trite, but we're sure going to try. Much like the last post discussed tattoos which leave indelible marks on our skin, 9/11/01 left indelible marks on our souls and psyches. While we can't change the past - we can change the future.
If the memory of what happened 7 years ago hasn't quite inspired you to want to make the world a better place, perhaps the story about Lori Hall Steele will move you in different ways. Lori is a prolific freelance writer and single mom who is battling ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease). While her spirit is vibrant, the disease has eroded her ability to move or work to support her young son. Lori is unable to work and crushing medical debts have left her unable to meet the mortgage payments on her home. Several writers groups nationally have taken up a call to arms to help Lori out. We're asking you to help too.
Give $1.00 or give $1,000.00 but give to help a stranger and know that you're increasing the good in the world on a day that is a sad reminder of just how much evil still exists.
