Before 9-11, I was writing a book on the development of conscience in children. Then the horrible events of the World Trade Center tragedy changed everything. The shock of the tremors of that day changed the landscape of my life. A blend of anger, fear, and sadness created an emotional turbulence that made the common too difficult to consider. Writing a book seemed irrelevant.

How about you? Were you affected by the events of that day? How has your life changed? Do you view and do things differently?
