A 'punch in the gut'

...or 'gut-wrenching' I will never in my entire life, (barring Alzheimer's or dementia) - forget the feeling of being at Ground Zero in NYC, March of 2012.  It was, what I imagined visiting a concentration camp, or any other place where many people died in a tragic/horrifying way...

Here the NY Times discusses the museum and provides haunting photos.  I've no real reason to want to go to the museum, but I feel the coming generations of school children should make the trip - the same way they visit Gettysburg, or other places of historical portent.

Packing the boxes

...and soon will move the blog to the new digs:

Since I am not really an 'org'anization - LOL - more of an institution.

Not sure if I am going to have a new look or not....it will be fun to play around.

The move coincides with a project I am working on to help people tell their stories of recovery - to give hope to those still suffering and their loved ones.  Too many kids are dying from drug use...and I feel compelled to do what I can to get the message out and remove the stigma from this disease so people can get the help they need. We've been in the dark too long...it's time for some light.  Anyone out there who reads this blog - write to me at colettes.grave@gmail.com or colettes_grave@yahoo.com if you are interested in contributing or know someone who might want to share their story of hope.

Cheers!
