A Day of Reflection: Lessons in Resilience 9/11 showed us the power of resilience. As we remember the victims and heroes, we also recognize the importance of community and strength in rebuilding.

We can carry these lessons into our personal and professional lives by fostering support and collaboration in times of challenge. #NeverForget #September11

If you are an Emergency Manager who is avoiding table top discussions about the current collapse of our capitalist industrial consumer society you are doing your community a disservice by propagating denial. Stop exercising acute emergencies and disasters, instead discuss how your community is contributing to the collapse of society and how it needs to align its values to survive.

Recovery is a journey we take together. Community gives us a place to show up authentically, to be accepted for exactly who we are, and to encourage others on their own unique recovery journeys. Community is our all-encompassing value, because it is where we find hope, and it’s where everything changes. If you are ready to start your recovery journey.

Remembering 9/11: Resilience, Unity, and Commitment to Building a Better Tomorrow Today marks 23 years since a day that changed our world forever. As we reflect on the tragedy of September 11, 2001, we also remember the remarkable resilience that followed. In our industry of commercial real estate development, we often speak of building for the future. But today, we pause to reflect on something even more foundational—the importance of community, relationships and shared strength. As we continue to shape the landscapes around us, let's also honor those who came together in the aftermath of 9/11—proving that unity and collaboration are the true cornerstones of progress. To the first responders, the survivors, and the families who endured unimaginable loss, your courage and resilience continue to inspire us. We remain committed to building not just spaces but stronger, more connected communities—ones that reflect the spirit of unity we saw in the days following 9/11. #NeverForget #Resilience #Community #BuildingForTheFuture

Countless Peace Processes Have Broken Down, Here is How to Build Peace the Right Way Years of conflict have shown us that brining people to the negation table is not enough to end bloody conflicts that have come to affect people in countless of way either emotionally, physically, or phycological. Confronting problems are not done just by tea parting and signing agreements, but rather to be effective and ensure its long-term impact peace processes needs to be all inclusive. This can be done by working on the foundational issues, healing the wounds and the traumas left behind by war and conflict. Effective peace processes must put together the broken pieces and bring the community back together so it can last. All community members must raise their voice and have their concerns addressed. 

So, I came across this heartbreaking video showing the skeletal remains of baby birds that perished while waiting for their mother to return and feed them. Tragically, their mother never came back because she was killed. This poignant image reminds me of the countless victims of conflict and war around the globe and how the impact can devastate entire future generations. When a person is affected by conflict, the repercussions extend far beyond the individual. Families and communities suffer life-threatening and irreversible adverse effects. The loss of a single parent, like the mother bird, can mean the loss of hope and survival for those who depend on them. This stark reminder underscores the urgent need to end wars and embrace peace. By advocating for peace, we ensure that victims of conflict, like these baby birds, have their loved ones return to them. It is through peace that generations can thrive, children can grow, and societies can flourish. Let us work together to create a world where every parent comes home to their children, where the future is not marred by the shadows of violence but illuminated by the light of hope and peace. #PeaceBuilding #EndWar #SocialJustice #FutureGenerations #GlobalPeace
