Sitting here watching "Remembering 9/11: 25 Years Later", and they’re reading the names of people who died that day. Name after name after name...and it’s just so incredibly sad. You start thinking about how every one of those names was a someone...a somebody with a whole life. A person who just went to work that morning, got on a plane, had people waiting for them to come home. Husbands, Wives, Moms, Dads, Sons, Daughters, Friends...somebody’s person/s. 🫶 Then there's all the people who lost their lives trying to help somebody else. Firefighters & first responders who went in while everyone else was trying to get out. The coworkers and complete strangers who stayed behind, helped/carried/comforted others, just doing the very best they possibly could in a situation no human being could ever have been prepared for. That part is so heartbreaking, and moving at same time - in the middle of something so horrific, there were still people looking around to see who needed help. 25 years later, hearing the names out loud...it’s grounding. So many lives, so many families, so much loss...and also so much courage and humanity in the middle of it all. 🕯️ And it probably sounds cliché until you're sitting here listening to name after name...but tell YOUR people you love them. Don’t wait. Don’t waste the moments you do get with people you love. You really just never know when the last time you see someone is going to be. May we never forget any of them. 🇺🇸 #NeverForget #AlwaysRemember #September11

This one was pretty cathartic for me. Writing has a way of showing me where I’ve changed, and sometimes I don’t realize I’ve worked something out until I finish the piece. The Envy Audit starts with jealousy, but that’s really only the doorway. The Envy Audit: truenorthey.com/envy-audit/

Have you ever given something to God…and then taken it right back? Yeah. Me too. Apparently surrender can come with claw marks.....I’ve been thinking a lot about what healing actually looks like when you’re still in the middle of it—and whether those little “Okay, God. I hear You” moments might be telling us more than we realize. This one is for EVERYONE struggling with ANYTHING.

I started writing this a few weeks ago and somehow ended up with a manifesto. 😂 The point: stop telling people how they should feel about their own face and body. Stop shaming insecurity. Stop disguising judgment as concern. Sometimes the thing that bothers us about someone else says more about us than them. You Can Love Yourself and Still Want Botox. truenorthey.com/you-can-love…
