Staff Perspective: Coping in our Post-9/11 World - Part 1, Personal Life

As the 15th anniversary of 9/11 drew near, I found myself thinking a lot about how the world has changed in those years and how those changes have impacted my personal life and my work.  Last month, I drove through New York City to visit my hometown.  Seeing the skyline always elicits in me a strange combination of grief for lives lost and pride in New Yorkers’ resilience.    But on this drive I found myself thinking “What’s next?” and “Maybe it’s not safe to be in NYC.”  Perhaps this was because the anniversary of 9/11 was right around the corner, but I also think it had a lot to do with the seeming increase in local and global violence.
