Weekend Wisdom: Resting may be the most productive thing you can do right now.

I’m reflecting.

This weekend, I’ll be giving extra thought to 9/11 and how we came together (even for a short time) to support each other in the face of great fear, tragedy and uncertainty. Perhaps we can recapture some of that support and togetherness again.

If we can’t do it as a country, can we do it as a community, or a neighborhood or a small circle of friends?

We need each other more than ever and I’m never giving up on that.

Ok … onto the favorites:
