Exploring Ancient Wonders

Journey through Egypt

No place has fascinated me in my travels more than Egypt. I have only been once, and that was in April of 2001. One might say that is before the world changed. I met amazing people, including Sameer, our tour guide throughout Luxor. He was the perfect host, knowing exactly how long we would want to stay at each major site. We could have spent another month in Luxor alone, but alas only had 10 days for our entire holiday. Sameer helped us maximize that time. About a week after the terrible attacks happened on September 11, we received a phone call in Chicago from Sameer. He wanted to know if we were OK as he knew we spent most of our time in New York, where I worked at the time. He was an amazingly gracious man and part of fond memories.

The below photos are but a few of the hundreds we took, back before digital cameras and mobile phones that took great photos!! The rest are in my memories and in … gasp … actual photo albums.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_raw_html]

The privilege of being uncomfortable

It’s easy to remain ensconced in environments where our views are never challenged, and our way of life is never questioned. But growth, understanding, and inclusivity come from experiencing the unfamiliar, from recognizing and respecting the diversity of the world around us.

911 Memorial - Remembering 15 years later

The memories remain. And the triggers exist.

People ask whether I still think about September 11th. The memories remain. And the triggers exist. And so occasionally I will write about it. I will always think of those who lost their lives simply because they went to work. I will always be grateful to those who lost their lives actively running toward the danger. And I thank God for pulling me through and helping guide my path that day and every day.
