I wanted to take a moment today to acknowledge the sadness and devastation of 5 years ago.  There really are no words anyone can say to take away the grief, pain and overwhelming anger.   I will try though.  My thoughts are with everyone that was touched by this tragedy.  You are not alone.  I hope you feel the love and thoughts of people around the world, as we all stop and remember.

This may sound too simple, this may sound too corny, and to many of you it may sound like something that doesn’t belong on a business blog about SEO but to me it sounds like the way to a better world…

Tonight before you go to bed, and tomorrow as you wake up… tell your friends and family you love them.  Tell your clients you appreciate them.  Thank the people that offer you service during the day.  Smile at the strangers that pass you by. 

In spite of this tragedy, we are still here and we are still living. Sharing some happiness and some connection to each other is the least we can do as we continue to adjust to life in this uncertain and scary world. 

We are not alone in this world, and it’s time we stop pretending we are. So, as simple as it is, as meaningless as it may feel at times remember to smile and try to connect with and understand the people that you share your city with.  It is every single person, in every single day that gets to decide what our world will become.  Some will give more than this, but no one should give less.

Thank you to everyone in my life – clients, co-workers, prospective clients, friends and family.  Thank you.
