I wince every time I write the date and this year it feels even more somber. I was only 11 when the attacks happened, and we had just moved from Chicago area to San Antonio. I was in 6th grade and had only just started attending public school after being homeschooled for the elementary years.

I found this journal entry this morning and wanted to share. I wish I hadn’t been so formal (lol) but honestly I was a pretty serious kid so maybe this was a real glimpse into my headspace at the time. I remember being in math class and doing something on the whiteboard when an announcement came over the speaker. And then I just remember lots of fear and watching footage all day long in each classroom on the tvs mounted in the corners. I really don’t remember a whole lot after that or what conversations were had around me. I wish I’d written more down and honestly it’s why I still keep a (sparse) journal. We are our best records of our own history.

Each year, I watch every video that crosses my feed, read every article I see, and just let myself sink into the tragedy. In a perhaps strange way, it’s how I choose to honor the victims and show gratitude for the many heroes. I feel like I can’t turn away. I was young when it happened, and I was fortunate to not experience direct loss. But I think anyone old enough to remember anything about that day was forever changed.

This year I listened to all of the Mo News Interview podcasts— they interviewed former CIA Deputy Director Michael Morrell, John Feal (founder of the FealGood Foundation that advocates for those injured or sickened by the toxic dust at Ground Zero), and Erin Jackman (sister of Brooke Jackman who was killed on 9/11). All three interviews were poignant, moving, important. I highly recommend you listen.

I know everyone feels the weight of this day. It feels wrong to just get up and go to work but I guess we do anyway. Love yall.

I ♥️ NY!

Swipe for a Day 1 Recap! If you missed it, we ran through NYC on a long weekend and did the absolute most, including dropping cookies off to the Mo News team and Lily Allen! We were in NYC specifically for Lily Allen’s performance of West End Girl, and I took the opportunity to channel my excitement into cookies while I was here.

Britt and I flew in the night before super late because I was really anxious about cookie timelines and COULD NOT risk flight delays this trip! Worth it!
Woke up early and immediately was sweaty and shaky (not sick just soooo nervous hahaha)

(we stayed at the Sanctuary Hotel and it was a great location!)

- walked over to the Industrious offices to drop off cookies for Mo News, Jill Wagner, and team as a thank you for all of the work they do to provide reliable, nonpartisan news to us daily!
- got a surprise tour of the Mo News studio and sat in Mosh’s chair 😆

immediately walked to Madison Square Garden to meet with someone from Lily Allen’s team to drop off cookies

BREATHED BECAUSE I’M NOW COOKIE-FREE

enjoyed brunch and bottomless mimosas Carnegie Diner & Cafe

kass and karey flew in and met them at the hotel and immediately grabbed coffee from Joe Coffee Company

went to Grand Central to show Kass the The Campbell Apartment where the iconic Gossip Girl scene was filmed (iykyk)

headed to Madison Square Garden to see LILY FU***NG ALLEN play West End Girl

shout out to Chase Sapphire for the clutch lounge pre-show!

I’m so proud of these. This album has been on repeat for almost an entire year and I got to see Lily Allen perform it live at Madison Square Garden in NYC! Unforgettable. Witnessing women turn pain into art that they then share with the world is so inspiring and it was a dream to channel it into cookies.

What a weekend.

Scroll to see the outfit (IN THE EXACT COLOR?!?!) that inspired one of the cookies lol. I can’t wait to talk about these! If you haven’t listened to West End Girl yet.. take this as a sign!
