Remembering, Honoring, and Not Dwelling: A Reflection on September 11

September 11th is a day of profound remembrance for all of us. Whether you were directly affected or watched in disbelief from afar, the events of that day have left a lasting mark on our world. As we honor those we lost and reflect on the changes that followed, it's essential also to recognize the need not to dwell on trauma. Dwelling on the past can negatively affect mental health, but through mindfulness and careful reflection, we can remember without being overwhelmed. On this National Day of Remembrance, let's honor with strength and move forward with hope.
