The short answer is, for most people, yes, remembering with honor those lost and their loved ones can be used to fuel future forward positive energy.

It's a choice to be fueled by anger and fear or regroup with strength and support. Showing that hate will not destroy us, we'll choose to be fueled by a love for the memory of those lost, honor for the heroes that stepped up in an unprecedented act of hatred against our people within our boundaries.

Many of us will never make it to the ground zero memorial. Although, all of us can choose to honor the individuals lost and the heroism shown through conscious acts that fit into our daily lives, where we are.

This blog is all about resiliency through the actions of everyday people. The following link is an opportunity to choose to focus our remembering by paying forward the love for those lost and the heroism of that day.
