CEO Blogger Remembering 9/11

Driving into work on 9/11/06, I listed to an NPR report that asked random children ages 5 to 7 to talk about what they know about 9/11. Hearing these children talk about it was extremely heartrending and cathartic for me.

Maybe it was the reminiscent brightness and blueness of the AM sky; maybe it was the buildup of media reports about the five year anniversary, maybe it was just the innocent words of the children. As I drove listening to these children, the surrealism of seeing the twin towers collapse on TV and all the images of despair, violence, terror and war that came form that day changed into something more real, sadder and even harder to comprehend. Their words also gave me hope.

I was inspired to share these thoughts with you because today I stumbled across this post called Remembering 9/11 by Adrian Courtenay the Publisher and CEO of DM News. He also contributes to the company blog on a regular basis. In the context of corporate blogging, I think this CEO is someone who embraces the idea that a blog post does not always have to be so formal. It can be personal, raw and emotional - simply human.
