• It was nearly impossible this weekend to turn on
  the television or read/listen to the news without
  being reminded that Sunday marked the 18th
  anniversary of the September 11, 2001, attacks on
  the United States of America. From memorials to
  pictorials from historic accounts to personal
  accounts, we were all taken back to the places we
  were and the feelings we felt on that horrific
  day.

• Despite our economic challenges and all the
  political bickering about how to overcome them,
  Im proud to be an American. My grandfather came
  to the U.S. from Poland at the age of 22 in
  search of something better and passed his belief
  in the promise of this country on to his sons and
  daughters, who passed them on to my generation.
  He journeyed into the unknown to sweep the first
  brush stroke across the canvas of a new family
  portrait. His hardships made our lives better.
  The attacks on September 11th were meant to
  destroy but, instead, strengthened a nation built
  by men and women who also believed in the promise
  of this country.

• Im also proud to be one small part of a
  profession that finds the words to detail those
  news stories, documentaries, memoirs, and
  commentaries. As case study outline writers, we
  find the words to express our and others
  thoughts. As writers, we verbalize emotions that
  we and others feel. As writers, we share a talent
  and skill that can connect a group, a community,
  a nation and a world.

• I know my Monday Muse ezine and this blog have a
  global reach and there are disasters worldwide
  that have affected each and every one of you in
  some way. Todays post isnt about making money
  or finding clients. Today I simply encourage you
  to capture your story of an event that has
  affected you personally or changed your view of
  the world you live in. You have the talent to
  document history of your or your familys
  experience even if it will only be read by you.
• Add your distinct colors to your familys
  portrait.
