There is a bronze mural on the side wall of the fire station at Ground Zero dedicated to the fallen heroes and those left standing. I couldn’t help but shed a few tears; it’s an eery feeling to remember the devastation and horror of 9/11.
Denise and I spent the day as tourists in Manhattan, and after a few solemn moments of reflection, returned to contributing to the economy at the Century 21 discount store – "NY’s best kept secret." Denise wore a step counter, and 8,000 steps later we returned to our trendy hotel.
The BlogHer Business conference was a big success, and I’ll share a few nuggets with you over on our Build a Better Blog.
